Boss idle animation...

[Mendo]

Hi everyone,

I just started with RPG maker, and I am loving it so far.
Now I ran into a problem while wanting to create an Idle animation for a Boss sprite.

In short my idea was to cycle through the three images of the Death sprite:

In the order 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 etc..

So I came up with following:

Create event with 3 event pages. All events are run parallel, with fixed movement
Page 1
- No self switch
- Contents:

Self self C off
wait 20 frames
Self switch A on​

Page 2
- Self switch A
- Contents:

wait 20 frames
if Self switch C === on

Self switch A off​

Else

Self Switch A on
​

Page 3
- Self switch B
- Contents:

wait 20 frames
Self switch C on
Self switch B off

​

So this worked for me, having a cool idle animation for my Boss sprite.
I was just wondering, is there a way to do this in a less hacky way?

Cheers,
Mendo

You can do that in a easy way, just activate this option in the event page:

It automatically cycles through the 3 frames.

Thx, this worked.
