Change Event to Specific Image

This might be something that you can do with a script call, but I can't find anything on it.

What I'm looking for is something that let's you pick a specific sprite when chaging an event's image. Back in RPG Maker XP, when you used the change image option while messing with movement routes, you could pick any individual image for a sprite to change the event's appearance to. MV only lets you pick the 3x4 set of images that make up an entire sprite, and by default it will retain whatever direction it was facing.

Basically, I'd like some way to have an option like this:



that appears in the middle of an event, rather than having to use this:



If there could also be an option to make that event retain it's changed appearance even after you leave a map, like how Yanfly's Save Event Location plugin tracks retains the position of an event that moved after you leave the map, that would be amazing.

Unfortunately the Set Move Route command's Change Graphic only lets you select a whole character, not an individual frame.  It's been this way with ALL makers since XP.

I think the reason it was changed is because you COULD select a specific frame with XP, but sometimes the character was not facing the correct direction to use that frame, so it'd end up displaying something different (really obvious if you were using a character sheet filled with items rather than an NPC).

Galv made a Move Route Extras script for Ace.  Hopefully he'll do a conversion to MV :)
