No problem!

ESVB will get the job done and give you the freedom to use your own templates, no matter how ridiculous they might be!

Please note that this is in a very early state so it's prone to bugs and might not work for your project at all yet. It's definitely functional though...for the most part

The plugin so far - Here

Demo - Here

KNOWN BUGS
It does not play nice with my Animated Enemies script yet. No idea about Yanfly's but it works well enough on its own that I wanted to at least have something to show after so long..

Current Features

- Use any grid-based template for your battlers
- Adjust the speed the battler's animations play
- doesn't interfere with the way other battlers' animations are interpreted at all
- choose what motions loop

Planned Features
- at the moment templates are defined per-actor or enemy. Eventually I want to let the user define templates on a global scale, for a cleaner note box
- allow more motions than the default
- allow motions to have different frame amounts (maybe??)
- change the scale of the battler (Just to have the option)
- ping-pong motions (reverse the animation after it's done playing)

Note tags
battler frames: x
Defines how many sprites are used per row

battler rows: x
Defines how many rows of sprites there are

battler columns: x
Defines how many sets of actions there are between rows. For example the default template has 3

battler motion: type,id,loop
This is a bit on the complex side. Type refers to the name of the motions you're using, while "id" is the animation you want, going down the rows starting from the leftmost one
and ending at the lowest right.

loop should be self-explanatory, letting you control whether or not the motion loops.

Honestly I have no idea if there's a script like this already. I looked it up but didn't find anything other than increasing the amount of frames and changing the layout to one specific way. Regardless, I hope somebody finds this useful.​
