making characters float in the air in the same place imdefin

[Verincia]

Hello, how do you make your characters float in the air for an undefined amount of time. I tried using the jump repeatedly, but it just jumps in one spot, and only one tile off the ground. Is there a way to get the character to be suspened in the air as many tiles as I want for as long as I want? Or is this a script related request?

What purpose is this for? Is it for a cutscene, or a skill?

You could try simply editing the graphic, moving the character higher and adding a shadow to show that s/he's floating. I don't know if this would work with what you're planning, though.

It would also help the illusion if each frame in the char set wasn't perfectly centered, making it look like the character is 'bobbing' a little.
We'd need a little scripting to get it to use "stop animation" when the character is flying/floating.
