View character equiped items.

[SP6MEN]

Hello, i would like to know if is possible, or better, if it has already been made, to view character equiped items.
It was possible with old 2D Iso games like Diablo, T4C, ... but it is possible to code the same thing with MMF2?

Yes, but it takes a LOT of animations to make it look right.

For one item, you can use your character's "action point" as a location to always set the item to.

For multiple items, the easiest way is match, frame for frame, every appropriate character animation with an animation of just the item. Have the hot spots in the same place and then just set the items to the same position, animation, and animation frame as the player.
So basically when the player is running, his plate armour, sword and helmet (for example) all play a matching "running" animation.

Does that make sense?

Exactly what Dynasoft said. I was originally going to do this for Core of Innocence... but the amount of additional animations would have just been silly. Granted it would have been AWESOME, but waaaay too much work to realistically do with just one person on artwork.

Thanks a lot for hint
It shouldn't be too difficult with a few animations to start.
