Best way to create emotes?

[Doinathing]

You know how sometimes in games when a character notices something an Exclaimation Point appears above their head? I'm trying to do that.

In RM2k3, I just put an event above a character and used Set Move Route to animate it, but I'm guessing there's something more effecient. Any ideas are appreaciated.

There are exclamation and question animations in the default RMXP library. IDs are 065 and 066. Alternatively you could search for a script that does that in better fashion, but I'm not familiar with any.

I second Sheklon's suggestion! If you take a look at how the default emote animations are laid out on the page, you should be able to create any additional emotions you want.

@IRONNIC OP is using XP. A MV plugin will not help them.

I used a script for this. I'll check which one it was, when I'm at my computer.

Edit: Alright, I use a script by Nechigawara Sanzenin. I can't seem to find it in English online anymore, but here's the script in Thai. (If needed, I can provide you the English version.)
I've also found this script while searching.
