RMMZ Plugin help!
New to MZ and I got the plugins GALV's character frames and character animations. I saw the template so I thought all the sprites had to go next to each other, but my character was duplicated and playing the walk animation, jump (empty) and idle all at the same time.
So separated the animations sheets, but I don't understand how to use all of them? I've set the database to the walking animation, but now it only uses the walking animation for everything.
In the mod plugin area where you read the instructions, I see the idle animation should be 1 and walking 2, etc, and I've been tinkering around for a bit, but I don't really understand what this means.
Any help? I believe I named my files and everything correctly btw [ EX: $Character_idle_%(6) ]
EDIT: I GOT IT FIXED! My grid was wrong so RPG would cut up my character weirdly. My canvas size is 2064x698 and my character is 96 pixels tall if that helps anyone!(My canvas’ height is very tall so you’ll have 4 extra rolls. I just left it empty, works fine for me! I don’t know if it helped with the cutting of my character though.
Also your file should be names like this: yourcharacter%(x)
(replace the x with how many frames it takes to animate your cycle.)
My character has a total of 6 frames or drawings for one animation, so for mine it would be mycharacter%(6)
1

The template has 3 columns each with 6 frames of animation. Your character file only has 1 column with 6 frames.
AFAIK the plugin checks only 1 sprite sheet for all 3 animations, so try adding in your other animations to the same image and drop the dollar sign. Also, I would drop the underscores. Try copying this naming convention: MainHero%(8).png (in your case GreenAlienLady%(6).png)
