Required Sprites
Every character must have what is called "required sprites". These are sprites that you may not necessarily be using for your animations, but must always be included in the character's SFF. These sprites are necessary for your character to appear correctly when thrown.
- Use only these standard frames when making a action in the .air file that characters beside yourself will execute. For example, getting thrown animation.
- The horizontal component of "Axis" means around the center of the character, unless specified otherwise
Standard getting hit
- You MUST follow the numbers exactly.
- Axes labelled "where feet would be" should have the axis approximately between where both feet would be, if the character was made to stand with his center of gravity fixed in the same position as that required frame
- Axes labelled "midsection" should have the axis around the waist area
- Axes labelled "head" should have the axis in the middle of the character's head
- Some numbers, such as 5000,1 to 5000,9 are for you to add intermediate frames if you choose to do so.
- See Diagram for an example of how the sprites should approximately look and where the axes should be placed.
