RGSS3 - Custom idle animation speed

[ZirconStorms]

(For Galv’s Character Animations V.2.1 https://galvs-scripts.com/galvs-character-animations/ )
How would someone set up a custom speed for the idle animation? (In my case, a slower animation speed).
Currently, the idle animation plays at whatever speed is set for the player's movement, which looks a bit awkward. This would be used with a regular 3-frame character sprite.

Did you get your "character frames" plugin?

Should be included in the demo Galv provides.

you should modify Game_CharacterBase::update_animation, which is not in the script.
maybe in a requirement?

class Game_CharacterBase
  CHR_FPS = 8
  def init_private_members
    @original_direction = 2
    @original_pattern = 0
    @anime_count = 0
    @stop_count = 0
    @jump_count = 0
    @jump_peak = 0
    @locked = false
    @prelock_direction = 0
    @move_succeed = true
  end
 
  def update_animation
    update_anime_count
    if @anime_count > CHR_FPS - real_move_speed #* 2
      update_anime_pattern
      @anime_count = 0
    end
  end
 
  def update_anime_count
    if moving? && @walk_anime
      @anime_count += 1.5
    elsif @step_anime || @pattern != @original_pattern
      @anime_count += 1
    end
  end
 
  def reset_pattern
    @pattern = 1
  end
 
  def update_anime_pattern
    if !@step_anime && @stop_count > 0
      @pattern = @original_pattern
    else
      @pattern += 1
    end
  end
end

my mod, for a custom work.... not sure if it would suit you, but that's what you have to fix.

VX Ace, not MV. Appreciate the help though

Did some adjustments and it works great. Thank you!
