Conveyor Platforms

Path: YOUR MAP\switchBlocksMod\conveyors\basic or YOUR MAP\switchBlocksMod\conveyors\countdown Name same as other plaforms, platform_.xml, with _ being the screen.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Platforms xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <Platform>
        <Background>example_background</Background>
        <Scrolling>example_scrolling</Scrolling>
        <Position>
            <X>432</X>
            <Y>104</Y>

        <StartState>on</StartState>
        <IsForeground />
        <Multiplier>3.5</Multiplier>
    </Platform>
</Platforms>

<Multiplier> determines the scroll speed, not influenced by the multiplier set in the blocks.xml.

Platform texture

The platform requires a background or foreground texture to be set, this texture determines the size used for the platforms scrolling animation. To convey information about the state the platform texture contains both the ON and OFF state in its texture. The texture does this by rendering the left half of the texture should the state be ON and the right half should the state be off. The scrolling texture should be at least as wide as the background/foreground and half as tall (as tall as one of the states). This texture will be looped and the left and right will be next to each other.
