Even fading animation

[VicWhite]

Hello community, and thanks in advance for the help. I wonder if somebody could help me with animations on events. I am not talking maybe on real animation, but on changes on the charasets in order to represent actions on events. I'll be more specific:





I have a parallel process for this shooting animation. No problem to animate the main character with the parallel process with condition "button X is being pressed" but can't make the same with the event.


The event i need to animate is a creature that haunts the player. The bullets frighten it, activating trigger "frightened". 


On page A, set move route: approach. And touch: game over.


On page B: the condition of the trigger "frightened" and removing charaset in order for the creature to "hide" Problem is, animation is quite abrupt, so I created an animation for it to "fade away" / "stand back"





So, my main problem is i don't know how the put this animation and make it play between the event pages A (walking) and B (invisible)


Hope it's clear enough! And thanks again for your support.

I'm not super knowledgeable about RPG Maker yet, but if I'm understanding you right, why don't put a move route in the first page, and add "Change Graphic" "Change Opacity", and "Change Blending" commands to get the effect you want. Then use a self switch to go to a blank page. You could also gather all your frames, from visible to invisible, and put them together in the Animations tab of the database, then switch to a new page in your event with a blank graphic, and add a show animation command and when that's done add a self switch to go to another empty page.


EDIT: Actually, the Animation tab has the option to change opacity as well, so all you have to do is change each\the same frame.


Don't know if any of this will work but it's worth a try.

If you are prepared to use a script then Iavra's Animate Everything is perfect for this.

Thanks for answering @ksjp17!


At this point I prefer not messing with a lot of scripts yet...but will give it a try if I can't fix it. Again, thanks for sharing ^^
