[RESOLVED]Idle Animation...

[Calintz]

I don't know...it doesn't work for me :\

[winkio]

wait, the demo itself doesn't work?  Is anybody else having this problem?  I'm certainly not...

So am I correct in saying, Calintz, that when you run the demo, when the guy is standing in place, his arms/head don't move around?

[Aqua]

wink, the demo works for me.

Calintz, check your other scripts; one of them might be conflicting.

[winkio]

the thing is, that this one small 48-line script is THE ONLY CUSTOM SCRIPT IN THE DEMO.  So... wait, are you using PKE or some other version of RMXP?

[Shadonking]

i like this script i just wish i could had a good idle pose to have.

p.s im haveing no problems yet with it

[Calintz]

No!! The DEMO works perfectly, but the script is not running correctly in my game...
It is probably conflicting somewhere, but I don't know enough about scripting to check...

Besides, this wasn't a key feature of the game, soI can live without it, but I kinda wanted it.

[winkio]

tell me what scripts you are using, and I'll tell you the conflict, I might be able to help fix it...

[Calintz]

I am using these scripts...

• Minkoff's Animated Battlers


• Arevulopapo's Worldmap


• Ccoa's UMS


• Blizzard's Tons


• Blizzard's CMS


• Blizzard's Chaos Rage System


• Blizzard's Artbook Viewer - Custom script he made for me


• Moghunter's Title Screen

That's it...
I can't really see why there is a confliction here...

Maybe with the WorldMap as it resizes the charaset and what not...

[winkio]

its either Worldmap, or Tons.  Most probably Worldmap if it resizes, and the lazy coder guy decreased its compatibility.  Send it to me, and I'll see if I can make it compatible

EDIT: better yet, upload your scripts.rxdata

[Calintz]

Like send it through like Sendspace or something??

[winkio]

sure

[Calintz]

I sent the link in the Shoutbox...

[winkio]

ok the conflict is with Tons part 1.  The caterpillar is doing it.  Let me see what i can do...

Are you using caterpillar?

[Calintz]

no I am not using the caterpillar effect...

[winkio]

ok, I was going to have you take it out, but I have a better solution:

go to line 2677 in Tons part 1 (DEAD_DISPLAY = 1) and change the value from 1 to 0.  Then you are done! (lol)

[Calintz]

Wait...are you serious, Lol??
Will that allow me to have full function ability of both scripts??

[winkio]

yes, it just wont show ghosts in caterpillar anymore, but I don't think that will be a problem

[Calintz]

Haha, not at all!!
Thank you very much, this is working perfectly now!!

Final version of the script, for anyone who wants it:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Public Instance Variables

        end
      elsif Input.dir4 == 0
        if @current_sprite != '_idl'
          @character_name_org = @character_name
          @step_anime = true
          @character_name += '_idl'
          @current_sprite = '_idl'
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

This is the same version as the one used in your DEMO, correct??
