Hi ! , Can you tell me how can i animate pictures in rpg maker mz for scenes or other stuff , do you need like 3 pics and show the pictures 3 times ? or do you use something else , i couldnt't find any help on youtube or a tutorial about it .
If you haven’t already gotten your answer: it’s usually done through a plugin. In MZ people use visustella plugins. For MV triacontane’s plugin works the best but it’s in Japanese. You could also use a apng plugin so your game can plan apngs. Live2d’s also pretty good. Another option would be getting a plugin for short videos.
Manually rotating through show picture events is usually quite inefficient. It can sorta be done if you keep the same picture number and put like wait command in between each one.
E.g.
Show picture 1 (mertasik’s picture 01.png)
Wait 6 frames
show picture 1 (mertasik’s picture 02.png)
Wait 6 frames
Show picture 1 (mertasik’s picture 03.png)
Wait 6 frames etc.
-> run this as a parallel event and the game will keep cycling.
if you want the animation to loop infinitely in the background, run the event as a parallel event and make it activated by a switch.
so say make an switch called play animation 1
and have the event that’s running the animation (parallel to switch play animation 1 being on)
then in your event: where you want the animation start playing: control switch -> play animation 1 ON
then where you want the animation to stop playing: control switch -> play animation 1 OFF
just make sure when you finish your animation loop you erase picture 1.
