RageCage	I've seen people asking for a way to do idle animations and 8-directional movements since the days of v2. You can get my little demo Here. It's not much but an arrow cause I couldent find a 8-directional sprite on the google image search if my life depended on it. Anyway, comments? Questions?

Zip	Certainly demonstrates what you can do with HookEntityRender(), but I have two points. - The chr format still needs updating. - This isn't a general lib that could be used by other people without changes. The code assumes a lot of stuff about the graphic and layout of the chr, rather than being generalised. Zip Posted on 2004-10-19 13:32:40
Gayo	The fact that it can be kludged via HookEntityRender does not mean that it would not be really, really nice to have internally. Posted on 2004-10-20 01:37:02
RageCage	yeah I agree, internal implementation would be nice. Just thought I would try to demonstrate how it can be done otherwise. Posted on 2004-10-20 01:52:14
Sungam	I was actually very surprised when I learned it (idle frames specifically, but diagonals, too) wasn't internal. It seemed so obvious that it would be, considering how the MAK files work - plopping a movescript in there seemed a very logical thing to do. Anyway, yeah - not a huge priority on my list, as it can be worked around, but it would be very nice eventually. Posted on 2004-10-20 14:47:12
