Hello again,
is it possible to have animated trainers like some from platinum/hg/ss/bw1?
they are static sprites with the 2/3 frames that play when the battle starts? and for the gym leaders theres a flash after their animation.
this possible?
cheers

could I get some assistance with this please? I am new to the scripting of rpgxp..
also i am even fine with using .gif files which would be easier, saves using multiple png for the sprite
Cheers

saving the trouble of png use.. maybe .gifs?

ive got atleast 50 gifs ready for trainers sitting there and heck its a little odd seeing the the one frame there upon battle xD
i asked twice and didnt get a reply from anyone (besides Luka S.J telling me its possible) because my threads got kinda buried

No one's replied because no one knows how to do it, or no one is willing to share that information.

It is possible in theory to have animated trainers, and there has been at least one game showing off said feature, but it's not the kind of thing you're just going to be given. You'll need to learn about how the battle system works yourself (which isn't that easy, and is another thing that no one will guide you through). It's up to you to put some effort in yourself to achieve such a minor, cosmetic flourish. Or, you know, compromise and don't have the feature.

Three separate threads about the exact same topic in a month is unnecessary. At least now that you know you won't get an answer, you don't need to keep asking.
