So I ride bmx but I wanna get into slopestyle bikes because I enjoy trails and high speed offroad more than street. Can I swap my cranks and sprocket and hardware onto a slopestyle frame? So I would only need a frame, shocks, bars, and 26 inch wheels? I was looking at the octane one zircus frame for a starter.

Cranks, sprocket, pedals, grips, maybe stem, maybe seatpost, seat. That's all you can put on a dirt or slope MTB from a BMX. Sell your BMX full and buy a brand new dirt MTB, that's more profitable.
And if you absolutely want to put your cranks on a MTB, pay attention to the standards. I guess your frame has Spanish BB, which is not the MTB standard. There are BB adaptor but don't know a lot about it.
This say, Dartmoor (for example, there is NS Bikes with their Majesty too) sells two frames with Spanish BB : Cody (and Cody tapered) and Freaky. The last one is basically a BMX with big wheels, coming with Spanish BB, 110x14 wheel space and pivots for u-brakes instead of "our" greater disc brakes.
