Animations in move route?

[anticomotional]

So I have a problem: I want an event to play an animation (in this case: a speech bubble with "zZz" in it, indicating sleep) repeatedly. I wanted to put the animation in a custom move route, but there is no option to play an animation in "move route". I thought maybe i could use a script to call the animation, because you have the option to call a script in the move route editor. My question: Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about it? Thanks in advance

Loop:
Show animation: This event; ("snooze")
Repeat Above

*Loop is on the first page; Show Animation is on the second.

You don't actually need the Loop, depending on how you do this-- a Parallel Process event loops on its own, after all.

If it's necessary to do animations at certain points in a Move Route, there are two choices that I can think of-- a controlling Parallel Process event that uses a bunch of SMR commands, Wait commands, and Show Animation commands, or Script Calls.

Thanks both of you, I just made the event a parallel process like you suggested and it works a mint
