Looping Animations

2015.10.21

by Shaz

Introduction

This plugin allows you to loop animations on map events.

It also allows you to tell an animation (either looping animation, from this plugin, or a normal animation from the Show Animation event command) to play behind the character sprite instead of in front

How to use

Add to your plugins folder (file name does not really matter, but I call mine LoopAnim.js).  There are no plugin parameters to configure.

Use the plugin command LoopAnim start event animid to start a looping animation on an event.

Use the plugin command LoopAnimation stop event to stop an animation from looping on an event.

Use the plugin command SetAnimLoc event location to make an animation play behind or in front of an event

animid is the animation id from the Animations tab.  Do not enter leading zeros.

event can be a number (no leading zeros) for a specific map event, 0 for the event that has the plugin command, -1 for the player.  You can also use $gameVariables.value(x) to tell it to retrieve the event id from variable x (change x to the variable id).

location can be any of below/behind/above/front.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
