I don’t think that’s difficult. Do you already have the anim, or are you adding a new feature to the game’s flute?

she wants to use the same anim but a different sprite, that is possible right?, also basically do what i said a new panflute type of item that when played it makes the bunnymen become followers (like the one man band) and the regular bunnys follow her  for a while (like the beefalo horn)

You can use this template. It’s not perfect yet and doesn’t have a crafting recipe. Try spawning "panflute_mod" — you’ll need to add a name, add an icon, and redraw it if you want.

Are you planning to change the animation while playing the flute, or just the art of the flute itself?
If it’s the playing animation, that’s quite complicated. But if you only want to change the flute’s art, then install Don’t Starve Mod Tools, open the folder exported > pan_flute > pan_flute01, draw over the two PNG files there, then check the pan_flute_mod.scml file with Spriter. After that, restart the game and it will automatically compile.

to be exact when playing the panflute the animation uses the normal sprite instead of the new one, so just the sprite of the panflute in the playing animation

I didn’t check carefully — I’m really sorry about that. I thought it was simple, but in reality it’s different. Try this code again.

Add this code right below the line:
inst.AnimState...

inst.sg.statemem.sound = "dontstarve/common/horn_beefalo"

Refer to the instructions on how to add sound here.
