Quick Noob Question

[xD1rge]

I forgot how to animate things like a tree..., a fountain,etc. Please help, thanks in adv.(Oh, and it's for RMXP)

If you mean the default RTP with animations, like the fire characterset, you just check "Stop Animation."

Although I'm not sure why you would want to animate a tree?

 

[xD1rge]

Hah, i knew it was simple! But yeah...by tree I found an animated tree thing so it looks like its windy.
Thanks again

Kind of random, but does anyone know why in XP and VX it's called "Stop Animation"???  Isn't that exactly the opposite of what you want it to do?

 

[Unka Josh]

It's the Animation that runs when the figure is Stopped, as opposed to Move Animation, which... you get the idea.

 

[Nolund]

Stop animation is like a "claymation" video. Basically, it is a series of pictures that move at a fixed rate. So, in the event of a chest/door, there are 4 images that are being moved to create the movement effects.

 

[regi]

Yes, the name is a bit misleading, because most people think of "Stop" as a verb, whereas it's really defining the animation is playing when the object has "stopped" moving.

Bad Japanese translations :tongue2:

Actually, it's not a translation. It's just a movie term
