Thank you for submitting an extension. The "platformer character animator" extension relies on player inputs which can be different from the current speed direction. In the case of the "rectangle movement" behavior, there is no input so you could rely on the movement direction instead without requiring a "rectangle movement" behavior. This way it would work for any kind of movement. The "face forward" behavior do something similar but for rotation instead of animations, if it can help: |

Hi thanks for the suggestion I changed the extension and now it is based on the difference of the previous position for all types of animations so I delete the use of "Idle traker" and "rectangle movement". I don't know if I should change the name extension because it only allows animations in the 4 directions so it is still “rectangular”. example: Extension.zip extension: RectangularMovementAnimator.zip |

Checking again I noticed an error in a description, this is the correct version: |
Description
Change the animation based on the direction of the rectangular movement.
I took inspiration from the Platformer character animator extension.
Automatically change the animation based on the direction of the movement.
It can flip the animation horizontally (Flip right sprites to simulate left movement) and play idle animation if the object stop moving.
How to use the extension
It can be useful to animate NPC and enemies with the rectangular movement.
To use the extension set the animations' names according.
