Can you have multiple images on custom wallpaper?

I'm trying to make my wallpaper I made transition to another image for like 1 minute then go back to the original image is there anyway to do this??

This is possible, but it sounds like you want to have two wallpapers in a slideshow and not really an animated wallpaper? Can you describe a bit more in detail what you want to do?

In case you are actually making a moving wallpaper and not just a slideshow, you could try it with a script.

gear icon on a property->bind script

'use strict';

//DO NOT BIND TO PROPERTY "VISIBLE"
var layers = ["red"]; // Replace with your layer names or add more if needed
var interval = 60; //Set the interval you want your layers to disappear.


var cachedLayers=[];
var time =0;
var index = 0;

export function update(value) {
    if(time>interval){
        if(index < layers.length){
            if(cachedLayers[index].alpha >0){
                cachedLayers[index].alpha-=0.1;

            }else if(cachedLayers[index].alpha <=0){
                cachedLayers[index].visible = false;
                
                index++;
                time = 0;
            }
            
        }
        else{
            if(cachedLayers[0].alpha <1){
                cachedLayers[0].visible = true;
                cachedLayers[0].alpha +=0.1;
            }
            else{
                cachedLayers.forEach(element=> 
                element.visible=true );
                cachedLayers.forEach(element=> 
                element.alpha = 1 );
                index = 0;
                time = 0;
            }
        }
        
    }

    time+=engine.frametime;
    return value;
}

//Cache layers for quicker access
export function init(value) {
    layers.forEach( element=> cachedLayers.push(thisScene.getLayer(element)));
    return value;
}

Replace the layer at the top with the name of your layer. This script will wait for the time defined at the top (60 seconds in this example) and fade out. it will fade back in after 60 seconds have passed.


An alternate (and more recent) method would be to use keyframes.

Sign into the Beta of WE by right clicking on it in the library, select properties, and move to the Betas tab. After downloading the Beta version, you can click on the gear Icon of the "Opacity" property and select Animation. There you can select "Mirror" and set keyframes as wished.


However if this is not what you want, please specify as Bio stated above.
