Raising the frequence of character animations while running

[Stray]

I want to set the default speed of my hero "4: fast" to the default speed for running in Blizz ABS.
But the sequence of the sprites are not played fast enough for the running animation.

So he should have the same speed, but a faster changing of the sprite.

(I'm sorry for my weird english, I hope it's understandable)

The frequency of how quickly the character's sprite changes is based on this formula located within Game_Character 2:

if @anime_count > 18 - @move_speed * 2

@anime_count increases by 1 for each frame the character is moving. It resets to zero when it is greater than the value on the right.

You didn't really specify how fast you want the sprites to change, so I cannot provide help. My suggestion is to change the 18 in that equation until it fits perfectly with your running animation and then report back here for further help.

This was a good help. Thank you. Just between 2 and 3 frames less were enough. :]

Paste below BABS and be sure to configure it.

  #     Set the number of frames that the sprite should run through before
  #   updating to the next image frame.

  #     When setting names, be sure to use the image's filename as it appears
  #   in the folder 'Graphics\Characters'
  #
  #     Also note that the old equation remains: 18 - @move_speed * 2
  #   However, with this script, it allows you to change the '18' into whatever
  #   you want it to be.

Thank you very much for telling how to shorten the running animation from the BABS, too.
That will be useful for sure!
