Animations

[SuperFox536]

I need to know how to play animations that I've made in the database through script in my own custom scene.

This is what I'm trying

@Fighter_01 = animation("Sword", 0).new


I've already defined @Fighter01 as a sprite.new, so what am I doing wrong?

Please Help

maybe you would appreciate the bump

if you know then i could learn from your mistake and know 2
not that i'd likely ya know...be able to understand the explanation the leet
scripters will post.

haven't tried yet but, try this:

animation = $data_animations[animation_id]
animation(animation, true)

Where animation_id is the id of the desired animation in database.

EDIT: Forget it if you're going to use it out of battle.

Make sure you are defining it as a RPG::Sprite, and not regular sprite. The RPG::Sprite class has the animation handeling.

v = Viewport.new(x, y, width, height)
your_sprite = RPG::Sprite.new(v)
a = $data_animations[animation_id]
your_sprite.animation(a, animation_hit)

Thanks I'll try that, but just wandering do i have to put the viewport or can i just put

v.x = n
v.y = n

Maybe not even this but just in case
v.height = n
v.width = n


I just tried it and it makes the sound but does not show the animation
can you tell me what i did wrong

I used this to active the animation

v = Viewport.new(250, 250, 21, 25)
@Fighter_Pic_01 = RPG::Sprite.new(v)
@Fighter_Pic_01.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("Battler_A1")

a = $data_animations[1]
@Fighter_Pic_01.animation(a, true)

Are you updating your @Fighter_Pic_01 sprite? The update method must be called, or it will not update the animations.

Secondly

v = Viewport.new(250, 250, 21, 25)

You are creating basically a square at 250, 250 that is 21 by 25 pixels big. The sprite will only be displayed in that region, as the animation.

Since this topic is about animation I decided to put my question here since I dont think my question is GOOD enough for a new topic.. here it goes..

Is there a way to change the default resolution used by animations? I think the default animations resolution only takes up half of the screen thats why the lighting animation when used on a side view battle system doest look good.. because the Top/ upper part of the animaiton looks like it has been cut out..

- It would be nice if the animations resolution is equal to the stretched battlebacks
resolution.. so is there a way? or It needs a very complex script?

lasty.. does anyone here know where I can find the multi animation script by sephirothspawn?
the thread? I would like to know what that script does..

I am looking into a way to getting a bigger image out of animations that will adjust the image to fit within the viewport size. I know exactly where to look, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

As for the Multiple Animations, I haven't released it yet. I just did it for Trickster's RTAB. You can get the script from his demo. It my be in my beta as well but I don't remember. It just allows you to play multiple animations at the same time on a sprite, rather than overwriting your old one with a new one.
