I am trying to make a game. I am wondering what each of the slots on the hero battle graphics editor are. Do you define them yourself?

No, unfortunately you can't define them yourself.

There is a word in the top right that gives you a hint about what each frame is used for.

Here are the frames:

"Standing","Stepping","Attack A","Attack B","Cast/Use","Hurt","Weak","Dead"

Two tidbits that aren't quite common knowledge:

1) The "Attack A" sprite doubles as a victory pose when you win a battle.
2) The "Dead" sprite will never be seen if you are only going to use one hero.

You also see the hero walk and attack graphics in shops...

When I discovered this I had to change my plans :-S

Oh, some of my characters are fairly large, so there was little remaining space to put their arms when they wind up in attack A and swing in attack B - I like to make the graphics as large as possible.
I was making them lean back when winding up and lean into their strike in attack B - use their body weight.

I wanted to extend their arms outside the battle graphic using weapon graphics.
But, I thought that this would look weird in shops - they would just wave their stumps around. Haha.

Anyways, no biggie. I just changed some graphics so that they fit. They don't lean now, so there's room - which looks fine anyways.

I just mention this because it's worth knowing that battle graphics can appear outside the battle context.

Hey - in our bright, enlightened future of battle scripting, will be user be able to define their own battle movements? Like ... dash in, the victory dance, etc.

The hero also uses his "Attack A" picture when an ally uses a heal on him (instead of "Hurt") and his "Hurt" graphic when he lands with a "Land" attack (I'm pretty sure).
