Directional Movement?

I'm thinking about putting in some retro sprites in my game, and the only problem is the perspective is off for rotational directions. There would need to be a separate sprite for the north, east, south, and west directions. Since players can move using the up, down, left, and right arrows, would it be possible to update their sprite in real time as they're moving so it reflects this? 

Not without using an API script.

That's good to know that this feature is possible. Are there any existing API scripts in which could accomplish this or would I have to homebrew it myself? I checked out the API github and I could not find anything myself, but most scripts I did check out just provided the download links with little to no information / read me on the features.

Here is a script from the page on  Isometric play . I can't vouch for it, since I've never tried it, but it might be a good start. According to the documentation, it flips left and right depending on direction of movement.

I'll have a look at these all. Thank you guys so much for the support!

Sorry for the bump, but I just now got around to implementing the directional movement and I am having some problems. Silvyre's second link <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2778056/script-t" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2778056/script-t</a>... provides the perfect solution to my problem as I am also using retro-styled 3/4 perspective sprites. I tried implementing the script as per the post, but I get an error that reads as below: Your scripts are currently disabled due to an error that was detected. Please make appropriate changes to your scripts and click the "Save Script" button and we'll attempt to start running them again.&nbsp;More info...

I tried removing that statement and tinkering with it to some extent, but to no avail. I'm absolutely sure I implemented the rollable table tokens and its associated icons as per what the link said, so I'm pretty sure this is a problem with the code. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Fixed the problem! Turns out you need to specify an additional attribute called "Rotateable?" and set it to "Yes" for it to work for tokens.

Glad to hear that you've resolved your issues! Thanks for sharing your solution, and happy rolling!
