CWAES(Calintz's Waiting Animation Event System)
Version: 1.0
Type: Aesthetics Enhancement
IntroductionThis event system has been designed to detect inactivity from the player. Upon the passing of 10secs with no directional input(moving the player) the event system triggers a change of graphics. This allows for the emulation of emotion in relation to waiting(boredom, etc...) This system mimics that of waiting animations found in many SNES games such as: Harvest Moon and The Illusion of Gaia.
Features
- Uses a variable to keep tack of the time passed
- Changes the actor's graphics to a specified file
- Loops the animation until directional input is made
ScreenshotsScreenshots can't capture movement. See DEMO for further information.
