RMVXA: Looking for a script that creates a dirt-like effect when my character is walking

[Cap_]

I'm making a sidescroller in VX ACE and I'm looking for a script that creates a little particle of dirt when my character takes a step.

Something sort of like the picture:

Why not just use a sprite sheet were dirt is kicked up when the charecter walks on certain tiles? It might take some clever eventing, but i think it would be possible without a script

# An effect can include:
# - Sound Effect
# - An event that appears at the player's location
# - Activating a common event
#
#
# INSTRUCTIONS:
# 1. Copy image from /Graphics/Characters/!Other-specials.png to your project
# 2. Copy the map from this demo into your game.
# - this map has events set up for the pre-made effects
# 3. Check the map ID of the map you copied in your game
# 4. Change the SPAWN_MAP_ID number to this map ID
# 5. Change REGION_EFFECT_SWITCH to a switch you are not using in your game.
# 6. Add some regions to your map to test.
#
#
#
# To disable region effects use
# $game_player.region_effects = false
#

# ENVIRONMENT REGIONS SETUP
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#
# region => ["sound", vol, pitch, event_id, common_event_id]
#
# region - the region ID the effect will activate on
# sound - the name of the SE file. "" for no sound
# vol - the volume of the SE (0 - 100)
# pitch - the pitch of the SE (50 - 150)
# event_id - event ID called from the spawn map. 0 for none.
# common_event_id - common event ID to call. 0 for no common event.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#

# Pre-made effects (requires demo events)

18 => ["Earth2", 40, 130, 0, 0], # Hard surface noise only
5 => ["Damage3", 40, 150, 2, 0], # Footprints
6 => ["Ice9", 50, 130, 3, 0], # Walking over thick grass
7 => ["", 0, 0, 0, 1], # Calls common event 1 only
8 => ["Fire3", 80, 120, 4, 2], # Calls fire trap
37 => ["", 80, 120, 6, 0], # Dust cloud

# You can add more as required. eg:
# 42 => ["", 0, 0, 0, 0],
# 18 => ["", 0, 0, 0, 0],
# etc. etc.

# Only one effect per region number will work

Thanks, I didn't paste the script here because usually whenever I do a mod tells me I have to link it instead because some script writers don't want their scripts shared on other sites. I just figured the OP could google search it since the link appears at the top of the google search anyway lol

@Oddball Please edit your post to remove that script and give a link to Galv's web page instead.
