Change graphics with Variables and change graphics pattern

Description
We all know the sprites animation thing in RPG Maker MZ is quite... limited as you can only store 4 frames into one file. But with this plugin, you can store up to 12 frames! Also, with this plugin, you can store a graphic file name within a variable and change the character graphic using said variable. Why? Because this is an undestructive method of setting up your character and it'll save you tons of time in the future if your games get too complex.
Example: You're developing a farming game where your character can wield an axe by pressing the Shift key. Each direction corresponds to a unique graphic. However, if you want your character to switch to a shovel graphic when pressing Shift, or have the graphics change based on the equipped item, you'd need to create numerous conditional branches and modify many movement route commands. With this plugin, you only need to configure the settings once, and then you can effortlessly alter the graphics by adjusting the file name within a variable. There's no longer a need to make adjustments directly in the movement route commands.
How to use
I've included the instruction in the plugin description, it's very easy to understand but if you need helps, please let me know.
Terms of use
Can be used in commercial and non-commercial games. Credit is not required
