Let's say you're animating a walking cycle. You doing this animation frame-by-frame. You need to make your character walk for a few seconds. To do this, you need to animate the same thing over and over again. You can use the copy tool to copy a costume and put it in order. But here's my suggestion:

Being able to select multiple costumes at once.

The reason I want this feature is so you select multiple costumes, then you can right click to delete or copy all of them at once without having to do all of the individual costumes. I think this would be very helpful when you're animating something very big frame-by-frame. If there's already a way to do this, please tell me because it would be very helpful for the animation I'm working on now.

Support- perhaps the ST could add shift-click and/or ctrl-click support for selecting multiple costumes.

Support as per this.

Support for a

Do costumes [ v] through [ v] with a wait of () seconds::looks

Block.

That's not the suggestion.

This and/or selecting via mouse drag.

In my animations, I use a custom block that does exactly what you just suggested, except without a drop-down menu. It looks like this:

define costume mix, start at (start), end at (ending), (secs) secs between costumes
switch costume to (start)
repeat until <(costume #) = (ending)>
wait (secs) secs
next costume

Edit: Wow, I just realized this was a really old post that hasn't been posted in much recently.

I think there really should be a shift click thing so that i can delete multiple costumes at once because i have lots of costumes i need to delete on one of my sprites.

(DO NOT IGNORE THIS!) Don't complain about necroposting. If no final decisions has been made in the topic and the necropost adds to the topic, it's fine.

This sounds like a pleasant way to do onion skins. Support!

MEGA SUPPORT. As an animator it’s a pain when I realize I’ve made a mistake and have to delete like 10 frames. This would save SO much time and would be useful basically everywhere

lol I animate every single frame i never copy and paste stuff

Total support, perhaps also users could be able to copy and paste costumes? This feature (the originally suggested feature) would be really helpful when animating.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHH ULTRA SUPPORT HERE, this will help animators alot

Support. This would help not only animators, but gamemakers as well, such as me. I have multiple player sprites and I need to put 8 costumes in two other sprites from the first one, and it would save a lot of time if I could just select all of them and drag all 8 to the other two. It would be a huge help, honestly.
