from the code provided you want to use the PNG "hilltop_01.png" for the animation idle. so you need to specify the basename (basename = "hilltop") in the definition of the idle animation. maybe you need to rename hilltop_01 to hilltop_1 as the code expects images with the suffixes _0.5, _1, _2 and _4.

it seems we still may have a misunderstanding here. I thought you would like to use a still picture aniumation with only 1 file. the suffixes _0.5 to _4 are referring to a scale and not a sequence and we only use file animations for single image anims. However if you want to use them you need to rename again ( I assume your sequence is all at scale 1) to idle_1_00.png to idle_1_03.png. you may look at our test file at file animation test repo to get the full syntax. But as file animations are kind of deprecated I strongly recommend to generate the proper spritesheet animation after you got the addon working. for this you might use the wl_create_spritesheets executable built with our website tools.

No, not a misunderstanding. There are some immovables with only one image and another which is animated.
Ahh Thanks a lot, now i got it to work.
Maybe a wiki article "Addons Immovables" would be better than digging into the source code?
Yes, of course. After finishing the add-on. Thanks again Top Quote |

I didn't read this because the relevant paragraph is below the deprecated parameter Top Quote |
