Victor Sant is undoubtedly good with scripts, but I think he explains things as if everyone is just as good as he is.
This is his Character Control Script, it's supposed to make it so that when your character runs, walks, or is idle you can have an animation trigger for each event. This is exactly what I've been looking for, and I hope that maybe this post helps others.
When you're walking, a specific sprite sheet with walking animations will trigger. When running, a sprite sheet with running animations will trigger, etc. At least I think that's how it works.
I've tried asking victor himself for clarifications, but it's as if he's insulted that I cant understand using only his instructions, which is ridiculous.
What I'm pretty much wondering is, after you make the running, walking and idle sprite sheets, how in the world do you enable them in game? The only thing that makes sense to me here is adding the [wlk] suffix and the like to your sprite sheet name. That makes sense, but I know that I need to do more to activate them.
Can anyone give me some step by step instructions like: After you make your sprite sheets, do this/enable this/type this, whatever. If anyone can take the time to do this thank you so much.

#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Additional instructions:
#
# To properly display the poses you will need a character with the poses.
# You will need to make a new charset, with the same filename + the sufix.
#
# So if you have a chaset named "Actor1", you will need a charset named
# "Actor1[wlk]" (or whatever you set as the Walk sufix) if you want
# a custom walking pose.
#
# If a pose graphic don't exist, it will use the default graphic.
#
# If you make a pose loops, it will be displayed continuously until something
# force it to stop. It may be a movement (only if the settings doesn't include
# the 'walk' option), a pose change, or clear pose.
#
# Due to the animated frame, the charset may be off the tile center, you
# can solve that by adding [x*] or [y*] to the filename, where * is a number
# positive or negative,that way the position will be adjusted. it must be
# added before any other sufix
#
# if used with 'Victor Engine - Diagonal Movement' the diagonal movement
# sufix must come before the pose sufix.
#
# The general order for the sufixes is: filename[x*][y*][diag][pose]

# <actor clear pose: i> <event clear pose: i>
# Clear halts the current pose exhibition and clear all pose waiting to be
# played.
# i : actor index or event ID
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Additional instructions:
#
# To properly display the poses you will need a character with the poses.
# You will need to make a new charset, with the same filename + the sufix.
#
# So if you have a chaset named "Actor1", you will need a charset named
# "Actor1[wlk]" (or whatever you set as the Walk sufix) if you want
# a custom walking pose.
#
# If a pose graphic don't exist, it will use the default graphic.
#
# If you make a pose loops, it will be displayed continuously until something
# force it to stop. It may be a movement (only if the settings doesn't include
# the 'walk' option), a pose change, or clear pose.
#
# Due to the animated frame, the charset may be off the tile center, you
# can solve that by adding [x*] or [y*] to the filename, where * is a number
# positive or negative,that way the position will be adjusted. it must be
# added before any other sufix
#
# if used with 'Victor Engine - Diagonal Movement' the diagonal movement
# sufix must come before the pose sufix.
#
# The general order for the sufixes is: filename[x*][y*][diag][pose]

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
