Weapon animation while being held (Fancy!)

[Eusong]

I'm hoping to make a weapon that has an animation while being held by the player, but when I test it in-game it only shows one layer of the animation. Is there a way to make a custom weapon be animated while being held by the player? (Example: glowing sparkles circling around it)

I think you can make different textures for the equippable then swap the equippable's textures for an animation effect.

Mind elaborating? I don't quite understand what you mean.

[. . .]

e.g. you have 10 texture builds for your equippable & and you draw the little sparkles in the weapon's texture & reposition them in different places in each of the texture builds then you have a function which swaps between texture1, texture2, texture3, ect. Like how traditional animation is.

To my knowledge I don't think stuff a player can have/equip on them (symbols) can have Spriter anims

You can also make custom animations.

But then again from my experience the autocompiler doesn't exactly work for animations, so maybe not.

Hmmm, I might have to do that since normal spriter animations aren't working. Thanks for the suggestion.
