Question - IDE Pyxel edit imported animation problem

[Spelfantast]

Hi.

I havn't found a solution to this in game maker or online so I post the question here.

I use pyxel edit for making my sprites and animation. In pyxeledit you can input the speed of individual frames in an animation to make it look more smooth or natural.


However, exporting this to gamemaker as a gif only imports the frames not their individual length. Therefore the animation looses its smoothness.


Did any of you guys have a similar problem? How did you solve it?

Thank you so much in advance.

You would need to set the frames manually through code or the use of a timeline. GMS does not support setting frame timings on an individual frame-by-frame basis in the editor, or alternatively, simply copy the frame that you want to last longer over several frames (this will have no penalty as GMS will detect that it is the same frame and only cache to texture pages ONE frame, even though it's repeated 5 or however many times)

Thanks for mentioning this, I've been meaning to ask about this for a while now. That's how I do it. Also handy to add an extra frame onto the end when checking "if image_index >= (image_number - 1)"
