I'm just having a hard time understanding how to use this script.
How do i tell it what image to use? For example..
Hello!
The plugin allows you to use different images for specific scenes if you want to. So the first thing you need to do when setting it up, is to create at least one cursor pattern in the Plugin Manager parameters.
The pattern parameters are what defines which image to use, and the cursor behavior (for example, if it has a bouncing movementor not). There are three cursor types (which are defined with the "Cursor Type" parameter):
- Picture: Uses a picture file from the img/pictures directory as the cursor. If this type is set, you must use the "Cursor File" parameter to select the image you want.
- Icon: Uses an icon as the cursor. With this type, you must use the "Cursor Icon" parameter to select the icon you want. The "Cursor File" parameter will be ignored in this case.
- Animated: Uses a character spritesheet to create an animated cursor. If this type is selected, the followind parameters must be set:
- Character File: the spritesheet to use
- Character Index: which character entry within the spritesheet to use
- Character Direction: the animation will play as if the cursor character is moving in a specific fixed direction (cycling through the sprites as if walking up, down, left or right). Use this parameter to set which direction to use
- Number of Frames: usually, this should be set to a value less or equal to 3. However, if using another plugin that allows for more character frames, you can specify a higher value here
- Animation Speed: sets the speed when cycling through the cursor sprites. A lower value means a faster animation
If you'll use a single pattern throughout the whole game, just configure one pattern, and identify it in the "Default Cursor Pattern". And that's it.
Hope this helps to understand how to do initial setup, and better understand the remaining instructions within the help section!
