Static Sideview Actor Image ver 1.0 by MechPen​ Here is a small plugin that replaces sideview actor motions in favor of enemy-style blinks and flashes. The collapse effect traits even work! - Load a single image into [SV] Battler:
//=============================================================================
// MechPen_StaticActor.js

/*:
* @target MV
* @plugindesc v1.0 Static Actor Plugin
* @author MechPen
*
* @help MechPen_StaticActor.js
*
* This plugin removes the sideview actors' motions and replaces the sv_actor
* image frames with a single static image. You can even use the different
* collapse effects!
*
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* How to use this plugin
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Install to your plugins folder and turn it on in the Plugin Manager.
* In the img\sv_actors folder, place your actor's battle image. it should be
* a single frame image much like sv_enemies.
* Select this image in the [SV] Battler: section. it will appear as a weird
* cut out rectangle in engine, but will look correct in game.
*
* Experiement with adding Collapse Effect Traits (under the Other tab). its fun!
*

* This plugin is released under the MIT License.
