Play animation in front of player relative to direction (Map)

[nintendowii111]

I've been using QABS and while i can already play an animation in front of the player(all on map), it doesn't change direction with the player. So basically if I have a sword animation. it will work facing down, but not any other way,(animation doesn't stay with characters direction.) If anyone is up for this it be greatly appreciated!

I am very stupid.

After digging through QABS, rpg_sprites, PIXI, and a whole bunch of stack overflow, I have what's probably a pretty good base for what you want. I haven't tested it because I'm too lazy to actually configure QABS, so there's a good chance my plugin won't work (yet). That being said, I was just reading Quxios's documentation for QABS and stumbled upon this gem:

• picture [FILE NAME] [ROTATABLE? TRUE or FALSE] [BASE DIRECTION]
  • Bind a picture to the skill
  • FILE NAME: The file name of the picture. Should be located in the Pictures folder. For an animated picture it should have the format:
    • %[COLS-SPEED]
    • COLS: The number of slices in the picture
    • SPEED: The time to wait between frames
  • ROTATABLE: Set to true or false. If true the picture will rotate based on the direction the skill is moving
  • BASE DIRECTION: The direction the skill is facing by default. The directions should be 2, 4, 6, or 8
• trail [FILE NAME] [ROTATABLE? TRUE or FALSE] [BASE DIRECTION]
  • Binds a picture that stretches from the user to the skills position
  • FILE NAME: The file name of the picture. Should be located in the Pictures folder.
  • ROTATABLE: Set to true or false. If true the picture will rotate based on the direction the skill is moving
  • BASE DIRECTION: The direction the skill is facing by default. The directions should be 2, 4, 6, or 8

I'm 90% sure that one of those two skill sequences has the answer you're looking for. I uploaded the beta version of my patch anyway.

Lol my bad. I should have looked closer at the abs Manuel. Sorry for wasting your time but thanks for the help!

Hey, it's never stupid to tackle a problem in your own way, even if it's already done differently by something else.

Oh, the trying to tackle it wasn't the stupid part. The stupid part was that I only skimmed through the documentation and missed something that would have saved me a bunch of time lol.
