Different Walk animation.

Hello. I am looking for a way to change the walk animation. 



Taking this image for example, I am looking for a way to make the walking animation consist only of the 1st and 3rd columns, a 2 frame walking animation instead of 3, whereas the center column is only used when stationary.

Is there a way to do this without scripting, or should i need scripting, are there any available scripts that would do this?

EDIT: Nevermind, the solution I thought of wouldn't work for having a proper stationary image. You'll probably need a script, I'm not sure of a way you could otherwise tell the engine to skip a column when doing a walking animation.

Victor has a script to allow more frames--and maybe less? I've never heard of anyone wanting to do that before, heh.

There are also scripts for idle animations, so you may have to combine two scripts to get what you want.

I have tried using Victor's multiframe script, and although it does permit 2 frame animations, it requires some really weird sprite positioning within the sprite set, and it doesn't function quite the way i have in mind. 

what do you mean by "weird positioning"?


If that multiframe script doesn't work for you, then most probably you would need to either request or commission a new script - and requesting usually only works if the scripter likes to use that script as well.


What about going the other direction? Use the multiframe script to change it to a 4-frame-animation, but have two of the frames identical on the sprite. The player would never be able to tell the difference.

Here is the file showing comparing the original positioning to how i had to re-position the two walking sprites in alignment with each-other.

edit: this could just be me overlooking how victor's script works and failing to acknowledge how i apply it.

Okay i figured out what i was doing wrong with the victor script here is the new spritesheet i'm working with that works in terms of 2 frame animation, however i still need to add the idle animation.



Edit: After researching a bit, i was able to find Galv's "Character Animation" which upon testing i found it works very well under victors multi-frame script. My problem is solved, thanks for the help.
