Creating radial effects

[overflowed]

Howdy,

I’m working on radial effects and have spent about 2-3 hours trying to replicate this effect in Studio: (most particularly the effect on the right)

I tried using sprites (yes, I had to upload like 20 individual frames) which isn’t exactly functional and memory-efficient. Is creating an effect like this even possible in studio? If not, what’s the second-best thing that I’ll be able to settle for?

So the answer here would be a sprite sheet, you combine all the images and then use the canvas size and offset properties to move the frame onto the next step of the animation. I usually use after effects to generate the frames.

Updated the app so that custom formulas can now be used in the angle options. This increases the customization options drastically, because you can now have non-linear loading indicators! Example:

Don’t use this generator but here is how I synced up the timing for my sprite sheets local Now = math.floor(((tick() - StartTime)/TotalTime)*140) local Y = math.floor(Now/12) local X = Now%12 Image.ImageRectOffset = Vector2.new(75*X,75*Y) [SpriteSheet]

Thank you very much!
As a follow-up, would the ideal way to go about this be to put the sprite sheet on a surfaceGUI on a part?

Probably a BillboardGui would be your best bet that way the effect is always facing the players viewing it

Whoops, my bad for not not elaborating in the original post;
I was trying to get the effect to look like this, if that helps anything

Oh yah then definitely do the part surfacegui thing
