How to show actor using equipped weapon in combat?

[D_Ray]

I did the best I could searching for the answer before I made this thread. I didn't want to repeat something that has already been answered(and I am sure it has been), but.....how do I show the character using their equipped weapon when they go to attack? I am using the side battle view. I currently have three Yanfly scripts I am using in the project.

Yanfly Engine
Yanfly Battle Engine
Yanfly Visual Battler


Currently when I attack, it just moves my character forward and back. It does not show them swinging(in this case an axe) their weapon. They do have a weapon equipped(mythril axe) and it is set for Normal Attack animation using 001:Attack.

What am I missing?

I found this video on Driftwood Gaming's site helped me. Not to mention he includes a ton of animations you can use. I hope this helps and is what you are looking for.

I am using RPG Maker VX Ace. Looks like his website is dedicated to MV?

@D_Ray
to show the weapons and actors on screen, you need to use a sideview battlesystem with Action sequences. "Visual Battlers" does not support weapon display.
The one most often used is the Battleengine Symphony which is compatible to yanfly's battleengine core, and most people use Holder's battlers (which would require an addon to Symphony) for weapon poses.
