Here's an example of a simplified lua implementation w/o xml-templates. A simple statusbar constructor, based on existing functions from StatusBar.lua.

Ofc you'll have to add some other code, cuz I dun intend to write everything for ya

local function CreateAnimatedStatusBar(parent, ...)
    local bar = CreateFrame("StatusBar", "$parentStatusBar", parent)
 
    local fill = bar:CreateTexture(nil, "ARTWORK")
    fill:SettAllPoints(bar:GetStatusBarTexture())
    fill:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\SyncUI\\Media\\Textures\\Elements\\Statusbar\\StatusBar_Animated_Fluid")
    bar.Fill = fill
 
    tinsert(framesToAnimate, bar)
 
    return bar
end
 
local AnimationController = CreateFrame("Frame")
AnimationController:SetScript("OnUpdate", SyncUI_AnimatedStatusBarFrame_OnUpdate)

Then you spawn statusbars like so:

local healthbar = CreateAnimatedStatusBar(your_unit_frame)
