[RMVX ACE] PEARL ABS LIQUID - CUSTOM GRAPHIC PROBLEM

Is there a kind soul out there who understands scripting and/or the Pearl ABS script who can lend me their wisdom?

The issue is a little difficult to explain...

I'm using a 'Custom User Graphic' for my attack animations.

Here's how the animation SHOULD look:



The script uses the 'stepping animation' of a spritesheet as its frames.

The sheet looks like this:

(I've only done the 'up' attack until I get this issue fixed)

The problem is that when the sprite transitions from Normal to Custom, the sprite begins at the middle frame rather than the one on the left, so it ends up looking like this:



How do I get around this so that the animation plays smoothly?

I THINK it's supposed to play the custom graphic frames Left, Centre, Right. But, as you can see, it's playing Centre, Left, Centre, Right, completely disrupting the flow of the animation.

Is the solution built into the script? (Something I'm doing wrong?) Or is it something that requires some script tweaks?

Here are the settings I have for the 'tool' (i.e. the weapon). I've tried fiddling around with all of these with no result. Everything works exactly as it should except the way the animation plays.



Thanks in advance, y'all.
