  # Save a character set in your Charset folder with the Character set file name + the suffix specified above.
  # As an example, Actor1.png will become Actor1_run.png when running and Actor1_idle.png for standing
  # You may use the same sets for different actors. The way that works, is the character set is changed to
  # the character sprite on the _run/_idle sprite set at the same location as it was on Actor1.png.
  # So for example you use all eight sprites from Actor1, then each of those playable characters will
  # use the same graphic set but each will use a different running/standing animation.

Questions? Concerns? Post.

Fixed all of the known bugs and added some features. The script should actually work now =D

It might be a good idea to write out how the additional animations are saved. Do you save the animation files as <filename> + idle, run? Combine them all into one file? Maybe it's there and I'm just blind though 

EDIT::

I just noticed that is set by the user by the idle and run_sprite_suffix constants in the module. I still think it should be made more explicit however.

Nice script. 

So doas this Script make it so you  can run or walk like in Final Fantasy 7?

You can run by holding shift with RPG Maker VX, by default. (unless you click 'disable dashing' in the map properties of that map)

Hey there. I got a question! I was wondering wouldnt it be better to add support of this script to the catterpillar script?
like when you dash, the other characters following you will have the same effect. The same with the idle. i always wanted that!
