Details:
currently, in an animation, a [frame] image is automatically recolored based
on poison and petrification, while an [xxx_frame] is not, and an [xxx_frame]
is automatically flipped vertically based on facing, while a [frame] is not.
It would be nice to parameterize these things.
The simplest way would be to make a "treat_as_unit" attribute in each frame
which would control all the distinctions at once. This would mostly serve my
immediate purpose of constructing a standing animation out of multiple
mainline images.
Incidentally, one thing you _couldn't_ control per-frame is which frame the
orbs/status-bars are drawn relative to (since then you could end up with
multiple status bars). However, it seems wrong that the status bars are ever
drawn differently because of x= and y= offsets of the [frame] in the first
place.
It would be nicer to control things individually. I'm imagining the following
keys:
"recolor_for_unit_status" (default to true for [frame], false for
[xxx_frame])
"flip_vertically_by_facing" (default to false for [frame], true for
[xxx_frame])
"flip_horizontally_by_facing" (default to true for both...)
Speaking of horizontal flipping: If I want to draw an image relative to a
certain part of the base image, I currently have to make two/four separate
animations (or an [if]/[else] block), because x= and y= are in absolute
coordinates, not flipped when the unit image is flipped because of its
facing. It would be helpful to have separate attributes, perhaps
"x_directional" and "y_directional" (names I currently use in my own Lua
code's internal processing) which would shift the image to the right/down if
the image is not flipped vertically/horizontally, and left/up if the image is
flipped in that direction.
