Hello there! Sorry for the delay, I was without access to my PC for a few days...

Can you tell me (or send a link) to this other plugin you use?
I would need to take a look at how it works to see what can be done...

I have been having little time to code lately, and I already have a backlog of fixes, enhancements and new plugins, but I can definitely take a look! This plugin is one of my favorites, I would be happy to enhance it! XD

Hi, hi, it's this: https://visustellamz.itch.io/class-change-system

It's from Visustella, it's a class change and with it I can make clothing changes (versions of the character).

Change character sheets.

I was actually looking for something similar to this! Thank you for asking nushybryan and thank you taaspider for considering enhancing your (already amazing) plugin! Though the plugin I was going to ask about is different, being able to change sprite sheets would be a perfect fixed it!

hmmm...
Being it a Visustella plugin makes things a bit more complicated, since their code is obfuscated (and I can't look into it to adapt mine for a perfect compatibility).

However, looking at their plugin instructions, I think I may be able to do something so that checking their code would not be necessary (which may probably work for other plugins providing this same class change feature). Since it is a paid plugin though, I'm unable to run proper testings at this time.

But tell me something... when you try to use CharacterPoses with Visustella's plugin, what happens?
It changes spritesheets successfully (just not taking into account the class change)? Or does Visustella's plugin prevent poses from working entirely?

If the spritesheets are swaped when a pose is triggered, I may be able to add some keywords to make them compatible (so that you can work with class changes). On the other hand, if the answer to the last question is true, than there's little I can do alone =/

It had been a long time since I had published it that I didn't remember very well what was happening with the plugins so I had to force it hahaha, basically when I change the class of the character the graphics change, but when he performs a pose like blinking or running the graphic restarts and the appearance of the character returns to the original, attached what happens (I tried to post images but it won't let me)

Sorry for the delay... I've been having little time to code and check on my messages =(

Ok... that is the behavior I expected. Reviewing my plugin's code, I think there may be a way to work around this without adding new code. It requires you to execute a few commands each time the class is changed, and you need to configure the alternate character sheets as new poses.

Let's say you have a sheet for the walking animation for Reid as a Knight (the default class), and another for Reid as a Mage. Setup a pose for each class (let's call them ReidKnight and ReidMage). Do the same for running and idle poses (ReidKnightDash, ReidKnightIdle, ReidMageDash, and ReidMageIdle).

Then, every time the character changes into the mage class call the plugin commands (or use script calls) to change the character default pose:

SetDefaultPose 1 ReidMage
SetDashPose 1 ReidMageDash
SetIdlePose 1 ReidMageIdle

The same when turning back into a knight:

SetDefaultPose 1 ReidKnight
SetDashPose 1 ReidKinghtDash
SetIdlePose 1 ReidKnightIdle

If you use the blinking feature, just have sheets for ReidKnight_blink and ReidMage_blink, for example, and be sure to set the blink pose with the %{char} tag (like %{char}_blink), so that the plugin will look for an image file according to the character file name.

I have not tested this though... I'll try to do it as soon as I'm able to, but if you manage to test it before please let me know the results!

no problem, I just have to mention that I have looked for other alternatives and stopped trying to make it work, at this point I don't think I can change what I have and reconfigure it, I hope that if someone has the same situation they can solve it better than me.

Thank you very much for the help

Sorry I wasn't able to respond sooner =/

Anyway... in case anyone else stumble into this thread looking for the same thing, I did run some tests and it should work fine. You just need to add another command right after those I described to actually start using the new default pose. So the complete set of commands would be like this:

SetDefaultPose 1 ReidKnight
SetDashPose 1 ReidKnightDash
SetIdlePose 1 ReidKnightIdle
SetPose 1 ReidKnight

Hello again! I'm sorry for an extremely late reply but I'm not sure if changing the sprite sheet would be viable solution anymore if you were still willing to look into it? I'm actually using SAN_ActorGraphicsReactor and I finally got a better understanding of how it works now. If you are still willing to look into it, I took the liberty of running every comment to a translator to save time and can share it will you! Thank you again!

Hello!

I can't promise anything, unfortunately. I've been having a crazy time at my dayjob and have been unable to keep up with my plugin coding. I'll keep it in my notes to take a look at this plugin you mentioned whenever I can, but I really can't tell when that will happen, and if I'll be able to provide compatibility with it =/

Selene'sMemory201 days ago

Thank you for taking the time to reply!! I can totally understand the dayjob craziness as I also suffer from it lol. I will keep trying to do workarounds and seeing if I can find a solution without changing some codes and if I do, I'll post what I find here! Again thank you for your time!
