Just what I needed!

This will save me countless hours.

Simply amazing

I would give this system 6 stars if I could. It’s well organized and documented, extremely powerful and useful. The amount of time you could save using this asset would make it worth much more than it’s cost.

All you have to do is:
- Add objects to a sequence and move them around
- Create an armature using armature_create
- Add "bones" (those moving objects) to the armature using armature_add_bones
- Bind the armature using armature_bind
- And finally, update the armature in the step event using armature_update

Included in this asset are the essential scripts needed to make the system work, full documentation, and an example project!
I hope you enjoy it and I would love to see what you create with it!!!

Spoiler: Bugs

v1.0.0 - Currently, there seems to be a bug where animations will "pop" up and down when changing between them when you import the example folder I am addressing this bug now. In the meantime, if you re-import it sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't...I have no clue why but I'm going to try and see if I can fix it internally. It might be an issue with Game Maker's sequence importation but not sure.

V. 1.0.3 - Changelog & Bug fixes

V. 1.0.3 - Changelog & Bug fixes

- [FIXED] - The "Bounce" glitch. Now regardless of GM having sequence importing issues it will work fine. I have it set to a wait timer so when animations change it waits 1 frame and then updates the animation.
- [FIXED] - When creating animations at first they would "Grow" to the correct positions. This was also fixed with a wait frame. Now animations appear at the correct coordinates 1 frame after they are created.
- [ADDED] - *armature_set_xscales*, *armature_set_yscales*, *armature_set_alphas*. These became more apparently necessary to me once I tried creating different kinds of animations

Future optimization ideas
- No longer needing objects for bones, instead, it will read sequence struct data and have armatures draw everything based on data. This would increase the performance of the system by quite a bit. As it stands right now, Each bone and armature are separate objects. So one humanoid model can consist of 7 - 20 separate objects.
