Hey there,
I want to make a costumizable Character by putting 3 parts together. Each Bodypart is a different Character,
the feet, the body and the head.
So I can choose a different T-shirt, pants and hairstyle for example.
I want to put those layers onto each other with the FOLLOW CHARACTER-function and the FOLLOW_EXACTLY-parameter.
The problem is, that the following Characters ignore the turnaround-animation and the walking-animation
as well as the direction.
Is there a way for a exactly_following Character to mimic all the animations of the character he follows?
I hope my description is understandable,
thanks for your help.
I was surprised this doesn't work as expected but apparently AGS only duplicates the position.
You can do this manually by adding lines like this in repeatedly_execute_always:
cShirt.Loop = player.Loop;
cShirt.Frame = player.Frame;
This obviously requires the following character to have a shirt version duplicate of the walk-cycle frames, but that's pretty much a given anyway I guess.
Thank you Khris for that quick reply.
It actually works that way :)
The only thing is that about every third frame there is a small disconnection between the bodyparts.
Could it be because the system is too slow to simultaniously show the frames?
I have to check whether there is a graphic mistake in the sprites,
but they should fit pixelperfect together.
Give me some time to ensure what the problem is and I will be back.
Anyway thankful for that instant help.

Perhaps try using "late_repeatedly_execute_always" function instead.

Thank you Crimson Wizard, the "late_repeatedly_execute_always" function made it work perfect :-D
I am so happy, this is the first time for me posting something in this forum.
