spritesheet movement

[diagostimo]

hey, im wondering if it exists or if anyone could make a script that overrides the animation when moving, basicly i want it to loop the three movement animations and cut out the stationary pose until you stop moving like so:

i need this as i have a few wierd sprites that slightly bend over when moving, so when it returns to the stationary pose it seems to jerk, i also feel like this would make the movement more fluent, if anyone could direct me to a script that does this i would be very grateful and give credits, thanks

So you want a default standing sprite and the rest for walking? You could use a script that will just change the char set to a standing one when your not moving. Then you could use the whole tile set for a standing animation, blinking or shifting or what not.

no what im asking for is a way to change the way a prite sheet is interpreted, say you go from standing phase to left foot then standing then right foot then repeat, i want it to go left foot stand right foot then repeat, if you get what i mean   so that it will cancel out the left standing sprite on the spritesheet while moving

edit: actually what you said will work, just means a lot of messing with sprites, do you know of a possible script?

Well BABS I think does it. If you look around for 'idle animation' scrips you'll find them.

ah I have this one.
