Character Sheet Question

[Owellow]

Hello. I have some characters that do not need any sort of animation while walking around. So, I was wondering, instead of copy/pasting the image 12 times and lining everything up on a Character sheet, just so the system has information to reference, is there any way I can use just a single 48x48 (or whatever) image and then prefix the filename or use a plugin or common event or something?


i.e. I do not need up/down/left/right stepping animations, just a single static image with no variations.


thanks much

Try turning the 'Walking Animation' and 'Stepping Animation' event flag off

Yeah, but for useable characters as well.


The walking/stepping uncheck would still require creating a new image with only one Sprite and the rest blank, then I could just select that square on event creation, that's not bad and solves some of my issue.


Basically, it would be awesome if I could use a single image somehow for events and characters. One single image, as opposed to 12 images on one sheet.

Ah, I get it now. But as far as I know there is no such default option/prefix in RM that allows for that. Maybe anyone else can prove me wrong or has a plugin for that?

You could try having 4 rows with 1 column and turning off walking and stepping animations in an autorun event at the beginning of your project.  That way you would still have characters that have all 4 directions w/o the walking/stepping animations.  But the file itself would still have to be 3 times the width of 1 character, otherwise MV will third your characters.
