Problems with animations

[Nymphisios]

Hello,

 

When I try to make a basic animation, it always fails. I mean I would like to make an animation that stay ON the character, for exemple horizontaly at his feets. After a bunch of tries I still cannot do what I would like to.

Please guys do you already have working anim, or Tools and tips to help me making one?

Thanks,

Nymphi

Quite easy, if you'd like an animation to play at his feet easiest way to do so is take a Sprite sheet and mark where the feet are, and pixel the animations over it then and remove the feet. Tadah, now you have just the animation and it's aligned at the sprites feet.

There are lots of things I dont understand with animations, do you have Something to speak, as Skype or teamspeak?

Or even a way to talk by messages, I have a lot of questions.

 

[Nymphisios]

Is it possible to use .gif images for animations or paperdoll and how?

I think nobody try it. You could try and see what it do, if it's doesn't works you will not see the .gif in the animation choice.

Add me on Skype, CMFiend420. Message me I'll try to answer all your questions to the best of my ability.

It doesn't work... I would like to make this work, or find a way to bypass, I would like stars shinning on the player when he stays motionless, when wearing a special necklace. Can you help me about it?

What you are wanting to do will require a source edit. I cant tell you how difficult it would be for sure but I would like to think it wouldn't be very difficult.

[Nymphisios]

Ok so we'll have to wait last release, or we could suggest to add .gif on paperdoll?

[Zetasis]

You don't need a gif. Just to continuously play an animation.

@Zetasis is there another way to make a continuously animated item or tile?

[Zetasis]

For tiles you can just use events. I don't think there is a way to do it with items though. 

 

There are also animated tiles alongside the autotile feature but if you just want a singe animated tile then just use an event. 

[Grizzy]

He means like this.... 

[Zetasis]

Yeah there is currently no way to make items have a continuous animation like that. You would have to get someone to edit the source.
