How do I use different sprites for the overworld map?

[makemeyoung]

Hi, I've been searching around and am having trouble finding an answer. I'm new to RMMV and would love any help!

I would like the walking sprites that appear on the overworld map to be much smaller than the walking sprites in towns/dungeons.

Example: Exactly like Chrono Trigger, where the town/dungeon map walking sprites look like this:

But the overworld walking sprites look like this:

I think it really helps the overworld feel much more congruent and expansive. (Note: I know how to change the actual sprite sizes, just can't figure out how to make my game automatically switch between them). I'm assuming there is perhaps a plugin for this I have overlooked? Or is this possible without a plugin? Thank you for your help!

The way I do this (I am sure there are multiple ways) is:
On transfers to the overworld
Screen Fadeout
Call Common Event [named Going Small for my games]
Change Actor Graphic [you need to do this for each actor, selecting the smaller version]
Any other transfer commands you need e.g. erase picture, fadeout BGS etc.
Transfer Player [note, change the Fadeout in that particular command to None, otherwise you end up with 2]
Fadein

The point of having the Fadeout/Fadein is that otherwise the player will momentarily see the sprite change.

On all transfers out of the overworld
Fadeout
Call Common Event [named Going Big for my games]
Change Actor Graphic [as before, but this time selecting the full size graphics]
Transfer Player [same note about Fadeout]
Fadein

i believe i saw a script for this somewhere. If I find it I'll link it.
