How to make an attack frame?

[Pigot]

Hey people!

 

Look at me here again, xD

 

As I have seen that no one has yet asked this question, I will do it:

With what we have now. It is possible to make an attack frame for the sprite of the character? And: Is it possible to increase the amount of frames when walking? (The default is 4)

 

Thanks!!

This question has been asked a million times lol. 

 

Not possible without source.

 

Also not something we will program in by default because there are not enough game ready sets of graphics with attack frames. 

 

Will be easy to modify once the source is out though.

No, there is no option to do that. You must wait the source code 

[Pigot]

Alright!!

And the numbers of frames (Walk frames), Can it be more than 4 for now?

 

Thanks!

The same thing, you must wait the source code to do that 

[Pigot]

Oh really? I imagined that I could do it now, It's just increase the number of frames xD

just thinking out loud, but could you not make it a option in the config? @jcsnider

@Damian666 sure, but the more features we keep piling on the more delayed the release is. Lets be honest here, im fairly sure people value open source more. I'm sure one day it potentially could be a thing.

I know, I was not saying do it now!!111

 

just mentioning it

Everyone will want something different. People will want death animations/frames. Walking vs running vs attacking.  

 

As far as attack frames go, some games will have kicking vs punching vs swinging vs blocking. Others will have a single frame for an attack. 

 

Then comes the question of formats, do the extra frames tack on horizontally on a single sheet or are there several sheets?

 

No one wants the same thing and anyone who thinks their way is best is just being naive. It's impossible to please everyone in this regard so we will support the rpg maker standard and anything else will have to be custom coded.

 

Sorry!

The same question has been floating around in my head as well, though I figured this would be the answer. I can imagine the source is highly anticipated at this point.
