anim_rotate - Paper Mario Rotate Animation

This script is the isometric equivalent to Paper Mario animations. If you want a true Paper Mario rotate animation you will just need to change the top right, and bottom left corners that way on a platformer 2D plane the players front side will expand.

Examples:
Video: https://i.gyazo.com/ccdbf7a781866e663f9 … b91f86.mp4

[NOTE]: This may not work as intended when your texture pages are set to automatic cropping.

To effectively use this script, the calling instance must call it every frame, once the direction variable has been changed. So on the first frame you are looking left, the animation should be called, the player will still be facing right, when the animation finishes you can use the returned true as a reference to flip the player's image_xscale.

Expand///anim_rotate()

/* This script is used to animate the sprite rotation mimicing
     the paper mario style with out the need for seperate arm
     or leg sprites
   
   Make sure to account for player direction as the sprite will
     rotate in different styles based on the direction it rotated
     to, for instance when the player walks right, then up, then
     left. the front side (right) of the sprite will shrink at 
     it rotates to give the illusion it is further away from the 
     camera.
     
   Returns: Bool (True when animation is finished, False for any other state)

return returned

[EDIT] There were an absolute ton of errors in the code, updated to the new system. It also now supports image scale flipping. Although you should set the flip after this script returns true.

[EDIT 2] It's amazing this code works at all from how I wrote it, I'm rewriting the system now to vastly improve this. I have no idea why I have unused variables, and why some of the math is done the way i did it. I guess I was just excited to have this finished.
