from sprite to character????

[BoogerGrl]

I got the individual character sprites imported....
and i have all the views done and in order
but the sprite doesn't show as a character.
How do I turn my imported sprite into characters?

Also how do you deleted an imported character?
And I can't find an animate button anywhere either...
or is that only in script?

It's only by exporting an existing character from your ags game, that you can create.CHA file.

If you want to create a new character, just do it in AGS, by importing sprites into the sprite folder (PCX, BMP or PNG files only), creating views and assigning view to a character...
There is a good tutorial in the AGS Manual which explains how to do so.

Ok, I didn't have my character assigned to the view....
Maybe the tutorial skipped that part?!?!

But how do I delete a character once its imported?

[Dorcan]

Eh for the moment it isn't possible  
Maybe in a future version of AGS

Im sorry im new in here and im not sure to where post this.
Im interested to make a own playable character in my game, so where do i begin? Do i have to draw character via computer or etc from side, front, back ? And also how i  can animate my character?

Thanks for your help in forwards

Thren, a character can have either 4 or 8 views. 8, if you do diagonal walkcycles.

Draw all the individual sprites for the different directions (side/up/front) and import them. You assign views to your character ingame and animate them with the animate command. Just do the tutorial, it's all in there.

SSH's walkcycle generator could be of help: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=26501.0

The contribution thread too. I made a generic walkcycle here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=14864.msg520576#msg520576

Oh, and please don't post the same question in different threads.

Im very sorry for repost, i hope i can make a good game someday
