Go to sparks part
From there it's a bit more difficult
You have to manually make new sparks (edit ap_... files) and ''create animation'' (by ''drawing'' them in a new position/stage along the line in next file or underneath)
It's alot of work and alot of trial & error (atleast for me)

I'm going to try to explain this the best I can.
So, I don't really draw anything in my ui's. I'm just really good with editing pictures I find.

If you find an animation you like in a gif, download the gif and break it down here: https://ezgif.com/split
Use the first or last 6 images, and resize it to 40x40 and place them in order going downard in the ap_b.tga file (the one with 6 frames).

If you just have a picture you like and you want it to spin, just take the same picture and keep rotating it.
So... there are 6 frames in the chi sparks... 360/6=60... So rotate the same picture one at a time at 60 degree angles until you reach the last frame.

Example:
Original chi sparks: http://prntscr.com/iepi2t
Chi sparks in that video: http://prntscr.com/iephq9

You just rotate whatever picture you want at 60 degrees and place it over the old sparks. You have to make sure they're aligned perfectly though. Paint.net (which is what I use for e v e r y t h i n g) also offers 3d rotation, so you can actually rotate them horizontally if you wanted.

And I think UI's are one of those things that seem harder than they are ^^ if you do it often enough you kind of figure out the ends and outs and it ultimately becomes really easy. More complicated ones can be very time consuming though x.x

If you want to get rid of the sparks when they are off, make the whole ap_a.tga transparent, or just put a single picture of that on.

I thought he meant editing the actual animation of 1-3 sparking and wasted my time watching that video waiting for some cool animation. Wowowow

I mean, I explained that too. I use gifs of animations that are already made. Making your own is far more time consuming and trial and error. He also doesn't speak English that well, so forgive me for posting a visual lol
