Percent (Gradient) Effect Layer


Last updated 10.01.2024

This layer is very similar to the Percent Effect Layer, but makes use of a gradient instead of a progress/background color. This layer does not have a background.

A gradient layer in progressive mode, with a red-green gradient assigned to the current millisecond

Properties

NameDescription
Current ValueThe path of a State Variable or a number. This value represents the current value of whichever variable you are watching, e.g. health, ammo, etc.
Maximum ValueThe path of a State Variable or a number. This value represents the value that is the maximum value of the percent layer. This will be your max health, or max ammo etc.
Percent GradientA gradient brush whose color will define the color the affected keys will take.
Background ColorFor progressive effect types: the color that will appear if the key is not being shown in progress color. For "all at once": the color that will be mixed with the progress color depending on the current/max ratio.
Effect Type
  • All at once - All keys in the affected keys sequence share the same color. This color will be given by a blend of progress and background depending on the current/max ratio. For example: if progress is green, background is blue, current is 30 and max is 100: all the keys will be set to a blend of 30% green, 70% blue.
  • Progressive/Progressive (Gradual) - The keys will light up in percent gradient pattern when they are active. For example: if there are 10 keys in the affected key list, current is 30 and max is 100: the first 3 keys will be set to the color of the gradient, the others will not be set.
Blink ThresholdIf the current/max percentage is less than this value, the "active" keys will fade in and out.
Reverse Blink ThresholdIf this is true, the current/max percentage must be greater than the threshold for the active keys to flash.
Affected KeysA collection of keys that will display the progress bar or color. Note that for progressive effect types, the order of the keys in the list matters.
