Enum ColorAnimationTextDirection

Defines the direction in which the color wave travels across lines of animated text.

Namespace: Scylla.Core.Util.Effects
Assembly: ScyllaCore.dll
Syntax
public enum ColorAnimationTextDirection
Remarks

Used by ColorAnimationText to control how the color gradient is mapped across text lines as the animation progresses. Each direction mode produces a distinct visual effect by altering the per-line gradient position that is sampled each frame.

The direction affects the mapping from line index to gradient position:

  • Up and Down produce a uniform traveling wave where all lines move in the same direction with a spatial offset between them.
  • PingPong applies a triangle-wave multiplier to the progress, making the wave oscillate back and forth within each cycle.
  • Shuffle assigns each line an independent randomized phase offset, so lines animate with no spatial relationship to their neighbors.

Fields

Name Description
Down

The color wave travels downward, cascading from the top of the text block toward the bottom. This is the default direction.
PingPong

The color wave oscillates, flowing upward then downward (or vice versa) within each animation cycle, creating a breathing or pulsing visual effect.
Shuffle

Each line independently animates with a randomized phase offset, producing a scattered or chaotic effect where no spatial wave pattern is visible across lines.
Up

The color wave travels upward, flowing from the bottom of the text block toward the top.
