• <Version 1.0.0> 2015-10-30 - Original Release

Set the step animation, move animation, and blend type for each actor individually. For instance, this will let you make a flying actor that still flaps his or her wings whenever the party is stationary.

• Easy to set up through actor notes

Save the script in your plugins folder and import it through the Plugin Manager.

The plugin is set up by writing the following codes in an actor's notebox. To make it so that an actor is animating even when stationary, write:

      \step

To make it so that an actor is not animating even when moving, write:

      \immobile

To change the blend type of an actor to something else, write:

      \blend

  Replace x with an integer, where the integers mean the following:
        0  : Normal
        1  : Additive
        2  : Multiply
        3  : Screen
