Animal plugins need help
Posted: 12 Dec 2024, 03:48
I am new to plugin making and drawing. I want my city to have a nature preserve and animal sanctuary so I made some animals but need major help understanding what to fix. Main issues:
No ground tile just water underneath
Solution: draw ground code (thanks Lobby!)
Ground tile underneath but still looks floaty
Possible solution: ?
I want the flamingos to be able to be in the water but not drawn in water. I want them to move in any water tile. This is animation and coding somehow.
Possible solution: ??
A scale issue since people are 3 pixels tall. But big animals are way bigger than people so maybe okay.
Eventually I want to add animation like a wagging lion tail or moving elephant trunk, or flamingos moving in a group a little left then right repeatedly. To my understanding I'll have to make multiple frames (elephant trunk up; elephant trunk down) then put both frames in the code then....what? Or, use code "count" (for flamingos a few frames right)? Basically what are all the animation related codes and how do I utilize them?
Here are my drawings for examples, sorry for the quality in advance but also thank you! The forum has been helpful getting me this far and learning what pixel art even is.
