The Illusion of Life : The Ultimate Guide to Gimkit Animation

DO. NOT. EDIT. Simply suggest things to add, I’ll add them myself. Introduction Hello readers, have you ever just looked at a prop and though, “It’d be cool if it could move.”? You might be surprised that everything I just mentioned is possible, with the use of animation. Yep! The same exact thing you might make in a flipbook [1] Or what you might find somewhere like Disney. And that’s why I’m here. I will teach you the wonderous art of gimkit animation, and what you can do with such power…

please mark @bakedpotato the solution since they helped you so the topic can close.

[ctWasNeverHere]

Yes, but i’d like a step by step guide on this specific one and a gif.

I mean, moving a sentry’s legs is pretty much impossible. You can manipulate the body to look like it’s moving, but the legs are always stationary. You’d have to make the entire character out of barrier art.

@THE_LEGEND

Don’t use impossible instead say this feature isn’t available or hope it gets added.

@Blackhole927

You can’t no, this is an inspirational statement not a true one.

@Blackhole927

This PSA wasn’t meant to be practical advice, more so an inspirational message.

“Nothing’s impossible” is technically true-ish, but things that Gimkit has not given us enough memory to do or things that Team Gimkit has not given us the right tools currently cannot be made. It’s easier to say “impossible” rather than give a Blackhole-esque speech about the possibilities of Gimkit and memory limits and code.

@THE_LEGEND

Yes but the GC is growing, besides josh is learning. We can’t say its “Impossible”, instead say the feature isn’t available yet like I said before.

Yeah, that’s the point of the message.

I just meant that I don’t wanna type “Well it could be available soon but it probably won’t so there’s currently do way to do it” when that literally means “It’s currently impossible.”

Most people infer the “yet” nowadays, since Gimkit’s constantly updating.

Moving sentry legs is likely not high up on the to-do list.

@THE_LEGEND

but is a idea to think about later.

With the amount of time the DLD 2 project’s been pushed back, it’s prolly not coming 'till 2030 if ever–

Anyway

Let’s put this to rest.
In a nutshell, Gimkit has a bunch of possibilities, but there are certain restraints on those possibilities that we can’t get past. Some things are likely to be added later on, but for now, those constraints render them effectively impossible to recreate.

Don’t use impossible instead say this feature isn’t available or hope it gets added. It's not impossible

[THE_LEGEND]

Yes but the GC is growing, besides josh is learning. We can’t say its “Impossible”, instead say the feature isn’t available yet like I said before.

Ok, yeah moving sentry legs isn’t the highest on the list but is a idea to think about later.
