I can't find anything about this anywhere! even the help pages don't show it.

What if I wanted to make a character blink, or open their mouth and close it again while talking. I see there's the option to add extra pictures to do this, but how do you set it so the character only blinks a few times, and opens and closes its mouth. I've expirimented with two different pictures, adding 15 of one and only one of the other, and left everything else the same, but it flashes by too quickly. So I went back and changed the 100 t0 50, hoping that would reduce the speed. it didn't.

So how else would this work?

Just because I really want something like this eventually.

You need to change the "Trigger Time." for blinking. Remember this is also in milliseconds.

For the Talking Animation it works for me as is so I'm unsure what problem you are facing.

Ahhhhh, that was what I was doing wrong!

I played around some more, and was just coming back to say I thought I'd figured it out (clearlu not lol), but rather counter intuitively, if you up the % to over 300 it slows everything down and the blinking animation (ir in my test case, two completely different expressions). putting the number hight for some reason made me think it would make it faster... ah well.

Thabnk you very much!

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
