The player with custom hair, clothes, etc.

Is it possible to have a naked hero and then put some hair or clothes on it?

Here is an example of such a character: https://opengameart.org/content/lpc-medieval-fantasy-character-sprites
The main thing is to have these items animated simultaneously with the player

Hello,

You can give a player several graphics

player.setGraphic(['body', 'shield'])

Samarium Hello, I faced the next problem.

I want to show an animation of my hero both with some attack animation simultaneously.

I tried to achieve this by:
player.showAnimation(['hero', 'fire_bullet'], 'attack', true);

I can see hero animation, but fire_bullet unfortunately not.

When I replace it with:
player.showAnimation('fire_bullet', 'attack', true);

fire animation is perfectly animated.

I am using RPG JS v4 so it might be an issue.

Wow, cool!

I must not have noticed it. Thanks

Version: 4

Also, I can see that when I call another animation there is an issue:

Animation.ts:156 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Impossible to play the default animation because it doesn't exist on the blue spritesheet

which is interesting because the default texture is there.

Furthermore when I add default texture to the other animation in the same directory then error message does not occur but still animation is not displayed.

I think that there are some glitches with animations on v4.

Edit: Moving each animation to separated directory solves this second problem.

But it is not comfortable solution because for each nested animation I need to define it in rpg.toml:
spritesheetDirectories = ['animations/blue', 'animations/fire_bullet']

@Samarium I fixed problems with playing animations for multiple graphics simultaneously.

My code was:

player.setGraphic('hero');
player.showAnimation(['hero', 'fire-bullet'], 'attack', true);

instead of

player.setGraphic(['hero', 'fire-bullet']);
player.showAnimation(['hero', 'fire-bullet'], 'attack', true);

I had no idea that I need to set graphics before playing animation.

But the second issue with loading nested animations in the directory is still valid
