Hello all. I simple need something explained. Like the title says I am creating my own airship. I have exported the default vehicle image from RPGMAKER VX Ace to use it as a reference but I am noticing that there are 3 sprites of each vehicle facing down, up, left, and right. Why are there 3 of each direction? I personally do not notice anything different about each of them. When creating my own airship will I need to do the same? Create 3 images of each direction? I can upload the image if you do not understand what I mean.

Thank you for reading :D

The three images are the animation cycle. It might be hard to see with the RTP because it's so squishy and crappy, but basically the sprite will animate like so:

Centre - Left - Center - Right... Etc. I don't know if it goes to left or right first (but it'd be weird if that really mattered) but basically it animates back and forth between the three.

Are frames for the movement,they create the animation when you move.
All the charset have them.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

If you look at a sprite for a human character it's much easier to understand why there are three for each direction. Left foot forward, standing still, right foot forward.

Haha you explained just right for me, thank you LockeZ.
I'm noticing that all the blimp does is move up and down 1 line to simulate it.
Same with the hot air balloon with the added propeller movement.
Thanks guys I completely understand now :)
