Welcome back everyone in this video, our goal is to create an animation for our white magic ready text that is this ready text right here that we're going to need for upcoming scripts because we're gonna make the ready text and this button actually, we're going to make it vanish when our white magic is activated, and then we're going to have it animate back on after a cool down period has passed. We don't want this to be showing ready when it is actively being used. So we're going to be working in our w BP HUD here. So if you haven't already done so, come into this directory and have your W BP HUD open. And with that open, we're going to come under our animation section in the lower left, we're going to click this green button to add a new animation and we're going to call this W magic ready.
A lot of animation work here inside of our Widget Blueprints. You guys are gonna be pros at this by the time we're done. So hitting enter on that. Let me move my timeline slider all the way to the zero second mark. We've got our w magic ready animation selected. What do we want to change over time here?
Well, the first thing I want to change is with our w magic button. That is essentially that that trigger button, this L trigger button right here. We want to change the scale of that over time. So let's scroll on down in the Details panel with that selected until we get to our render transform section. And let's click right here to add some scale keys. Now down below in our timeline, it says the W magic button can be modified over time.
Let's click here to expand out our transform in scale parameters and there we see some scaling keys at the zero second mark. At the zero second mark, we want the scale to be zero in the x and the y. I'm then going to move my timeline slider over to the point one second mark. Now, this is rather squished on my timeline. Let me just hold down Control in mouse wheel up to kind of stretch out our timeline. And then I'm going to right click, so I can move this to the right and left like that, just to give us a little bit more space here. With it set to the 10th of a second mark.
I'm going to add some more scale keys. And I want the value or the scale here to be 1.5 in the X in, in the Y. Then I am going to drag out my timeline slider here to the point two second mark. We're going to add Similar scale keys and here the value is going to be one in the X and one in the Y. Okay, now I'm going to do similarly for our text as well our ready text. So I'm going to move my timeline slider, back over to the zero second mark.
I'm just gonna collapse our w magic button track for the time being. So I've got a little bit of space down here. Let's go ahead and select my w magic Tex the one that says ready. It's gonna say ready. And then in the Details panel, let's find our scale settings. Once again, I'm going to click right here to add some keys for it.
There now it appears in our timeline, our w magic text transform scale that I've clicked to expand those at the zero second mark. I want this to be at zero and zero at the 10th of a second mark. Going to add some more keys for it by clicking that plus button, setting the X to one point And five and the why to be 1.5. And then at the point two second mark, let's add some more scale keys. x will be one and y will be one as well. So if I set this timeline back to the front here by clicking right down here, I can play this and you can see how it is going to pop it on out like that.
Now I know our l trigger button there is just kind of disappearing at the end. Don't worry too heavily about that we will make sure that that is well we should worry about that because that is actually I tried setting it for our w magic button here scale to be one and one apparently that did not take so we do need to worry about that my bad luck there was something else we had going on there. But anyways, note that with both of these trends racks exposed here at the zero second mark, I got the skill set to be zero and zero. At the 10th of a second mark, we got them set to be 1.5 and 1.5. And then at the two tenths of a second mark, they're all set to be one. So that is how our animation is going to look when our white magic skill is ready to be used again.
Alright guys, let's save that. That will do it all for this video. See you in the next one.
