The every tick on Stage 2 was a test I tried but looks like I forgot to remove that and it does not do anything from what I can tell in that example.
But I will give the "Run Once A try."
The Array just determines the the character to display on screen as the player gets to choose their character on the layout previous. So this is what I came up with to display the character. There is only the one object, with the 5 character options that only have one animation..which is walking.
I like the idea of an idle but I'd like to to get the walking to work first :)
