Character Animations

[madanchi 18]

Is there any way at all to get more animations per character? Currently they stand at 4 animations for each direction, I want to add more. I'm strugling to find anything through Google, does anyone have any idea how I would achieve this? Or is there a script out there that I haven't discovered yet.

 

Thanks!

Using more than 4 frames for characters is possible, you just have to edit the part of the Sprite_Character class where it selects which block to select from the source picture. However, this will change the game's behavior, but not the RPG Maker software's - which means the events' graphics will appear scrambled on the map editor, since RPG Maker will keep thinking you're feeding it 4-frames characters, also you won't be able to select the 5th (or more) frame as the base graphic for events, for the very same reason. Stuff like that.

Thanks for the help! So basically it is possible for more than 4 frames but it will be messed up?

One might run into problems I have yet to think of - but basically, the main issue I see is the fact that you can reprogram your game at will, but not the game-making software that helps you to design it. I mean basically you could very well make 3D games using RGSS, but this would not transform RPG Maker into a 3D world builder by magic.

I have no idea how I would do that sorry ;( I couldn't find Sprite_Chaarcter in the script editor either, so is it else where? This is how unfamiliar I am with some parts of rmxp.

 

Basically my end goal is to achieve multiple frames/ animations per second (I'm aiming for around the 8-10 mark). It could be a character, auto-tile, or something else.

Hey, would this script work?

That's an 8-direction walking script, maybe that'd be useful.

I don't think madanchi is worried about this any more, it's been a year since he posted in this thread. Try not to necro post in the future, thanks.
