I am trying to figure this out. I am making a game to where the hero starts off young, but gets older,(look changes) and still keeps his old level and stat.

Any Idea?

Okay..When you go into the walkabout and hero picture editors, you can see their set numbers, right? Those are the IDs of the sprite sets.

So let's say you want your hero, named 'Hero Dude', to change his walkabout sprite to set 4.

You would simply use the command;

I think I get it. He will stay that way for good right?

That is correct. Unlike the maptile-altering command, this one is permanant (Until you change it again).

You need to use 'plot:find hero' to get the position of the hero in the party : most hero commands operate on this because you might have several copies of a hero in the party (even though findhero only lets you look for the first copy, yeah, confusing).

Thank you all very much. I really think I get it now!

Thanks!

The Cacti gave you a link to the command that changes the hero's palette.

Chaotix · Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 2:28 pm Post subject:

Okay. To give me an idea, to change Hero "Indego," from walkabout 0 to walkabout 2, and change pallet from pallet 1 to 2, what would it look like in all.

(If i can get a glimps, I can figure the rest on my own I am sure...)

Is this your first ever script? There are several things that need to go into a script file in order for it to be recognized correctly, and to recognize the commands you're throwing at it, before you even start telling it what you want it to do. If you are unaware of these things (include statements, script definitions, etc), you really should go and look at the tutorial first.

If you are asking about your specific script needing more commands to accomplish your desired effect, well, those two lines will change the hero's appearance. Now if you want this to only happen at certain times, or after a certain time, etc, then you will need more. Furthermore, if you want it to happen, the script must be called (activated) by something in the game. Can you give us a little more detail on what you have tried, and how it has failed?
