Falcoa Pearl ABS Actor + Weapon animations

[Gyldstrand 0]

Right now when I use a bow and fire it, a graphic of a bow appears and proceeds to shoot a projectile graphic. I would like to change the actor graphic to another graphic of him drawing back the bow in a shooting stance when I press the attack key and then reverting back to normal once it is released. I would also like to use this same approach for shooting a firearm, swinging a melee weapon, etc. Basically I need specific actor animations assigned to specific weapons. I think this can be obtained by the use of switches but... I suck. I don't know a whole lot so the more detail the better. Help me make the greatest RPG Maker game the world has ever seen. Thanks.

Do people still do this or am I late to the party?
