[RESOLVED] Adding an animation to Scene_Title Options

[Guyver's Bane]

Well i'm in the midst of updating a certain script and i had a question lol. Is there a way to show a battle animation and define it's coordinates on the title screen?

Or

Have an character set graphic animate itself with its walking animation on the title?

Or

Have several different pictures cycle through themselves to look animated?

If you wanted you could just use Originalwij's Map Title script, (Direct Download link).

It lets you have the title screen appear on a map, his demo does a good job showing how it works.

That's if you wanted complete control over it, otherwise I can script one of the other options you mentioned.

Well i'm looking to add this into my Start_Screen script so if they're an easy fix i'd much rather have that . I'd definitely want the character set one whenever you felt like doing it lol.
