How do I make character sheets have two sprites per direction?

[Shepard]

I want to have it so that character sprites have two sprites per direction, and their idle animation depends on what of the 2 sprites they landed on while walking or moving.


Is it possible to do this in RPG Maker VX Ace? And if you want any more details, please tell me.

Theoretically yes, but not easy as it requires changing the engine with a script. And you'll need to give more info of what you want for that script to be written.


I've moved this thread to Ace Script Request. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.



Are you talking about two (instead of three) animation frames for a single sprite, or do you want two different sprites (each with their own animation)?


If two different sprites, how should the engine decide which one to use?

You can find similar scripts in the master script list.


Look for something like "Idle animation" or "Character Idle Sprite" there. There should be more than one of them.
