Most detailed 2d animated character designs

OK, I think I understood (a little bit). You can't do it the same way to mark a frame as leader? No, I see, it's not the same. So, waiting for R 6.

Btw: More than panorama turn I miss different way systems for NPCs in action which can move without bumping together

Hmm... not sure, but you could base it on the foot that has contact with the floor. I use the update animation position on new frame for walk animations rather than the default slide animation system, which means I can make a decent looking start walking animation & realistic-ish walk animation because I make sure that each frame is always aligned with the previous frames contact foot.

The gif example I provided in my last post is playing too fast for some reason. The original I exported from photoshop plays a lot slower so you can see each transition. I started with the idle character animation & then started the walk with a slightly extended left foot. It then plays until the right foot is almost back near the idle character position.

This is the first frame in the walk animation. Ideally a frame where the left foot was closer to the character would be more realistic, but unfortunately I don't have one. I think we will be using more frames for the walk animation for final version of ALLD game though, so I'll have more frames to work with.

P.S: being able to assign different way system to each character is an interesting idea, but it would get messy in scenes where you need to change the way system because something in the scene environment has changed such as the opening of a new path or a pathway being blocked by an obstruction of sorts.

wouldn't it be possible to track which frame of the walking animation was the last by setting a value on each walking frame?

then with some lua you could start the correct "end animation" by checking the value when the CharacterDestination coordinates are reached... 

Yes, also possible. But it's a lot of work & as you know most game devs are lazy & can't be bothered to do things if it means going out of their way to get something to work.

My gif example showed a single step of a character. Technically if the character stopped & the foot had already made contact then you would play that animation to the end or you would reverse it back to the beginning, however you've got a slight alignment problem as the idle animation will snap to the actual destination coordinate.
