    Scripts exist for the bubble animation when walking through puddles, but add a lot of code to tackle a small problem. This can be achieved in V17 with a simple edit of the grass animation code.

    Settings

    Find this line
    Code: 
    PLANT_SPARKLE_ANIMATION_ID   = 7

    Add this underneath:
    Code: 
    PUDDLE_ANIMATION_ID          = 8 # or whichever animation ID you'd like to use

    PField_Field

    Find this line::
    Code: 
    if PBTerrain.isJustGrass?(pbGetTerrainTag(event,true))  # Won't show if under bridge
      $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(GRASS_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y,true,1)

    And add this directly underneath:
    Code: 
    elsif pbGetTerrainTag(event,true) == PBTerrain::Puddle # Won't show if under bridge
      $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(PUDDLE_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y,true,0)

    Lastly, save this replacement to the dust and grass animation and create an animation that uses 3 frames for each picture, totalling 12 frames:

    And you should be good to go!

    I tried adding this to my game. The puddle sound effects are working but the puddle animations don't show up. Do I need to make an event to play them?

    The puddle animations are set to layer 0 to appear on the same layer as the reflections. Are your reflections visible in your puddles?

    Alternatively, you can change this line:
    Code: 
    $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(PUDDLE_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y,true,0)

    to
    Code: 
    $scene.spriteset.addUserAnimation(PUDDLE_ANIMATION_ID,event.x,event.y,true,1)

    However the puddle splashes will appear above the edges of the puddle.

    What if I want the reflection and the splash effect appear at the same time? Is that possible?

    I have a problem:
    The script works well when i place the puddles in Layer1(wave animations+reflection)
    If I place the puddles in the other layers, i only can see the animation of waves (over the rock), the tile of puddles become invisible and reflections aren't showing neither of course.

    I have pokemon Following and OW Shadow installed (can't see the reflections of following pokemon, and shadows dont showing over the puddle when is placed and working in layer 1)

    I was also having the same issue, but since we have layer 1 tiles, we are safe. But, it would b nice if we are able to place it in Layer 2.

    Without trying to be a copy pasta, does this work on 19.1? Such an amazing-looking resource! I know I only just posted on one of your only threads so take your time to reply :)

    I tried to do this on the v19 but is not working. Can somebody port this animation to the Pokemon Essentials V19 and V20.
