Alternate Sprite Walking Behavior

[Acolyte]

I'm having a really difficult time trying to describe this. Basically, I'd like to have a script that changes the default sprite movement patterns from down, left, right, up, and instead uses downleft, downright, upleft,upright. A good example of this would be paper mario:

I suppose technically you could call this an isometric sheet, but I'm not really concerned with changing the actual *movement*. I just want the sprites to display this way.


If possible, I'd appreciate it if could be made compatible with a visual equipment script. I'm currently working with Rexal's visual equipment, but if for whatever reason you find another script more comfortable to work with, I don't mind.

If you don't want to change the movement, just replacing the graphics on the character spritesheet shouldn't solve it?

Well, I want the sprites to be able to go left or right while simultaneously facing forward or backward. If I used the characters with the movement settings as they are right now, I would have to choose an arbitrary secondary direction for the character to face (i.e: always having the upward movement face left, always having the downward movement face right etc.) I mean, it would sorta work I guess, but it's not really ideal.
