Ok. I've looked over the manual/tutorials, did searches and nothing seemed to have quite the answer I was looking for. Help please. I made a floating eyeball intended to be the player character. His name is Lars and it took me a little while but I got his graphic(s) in the game. However, the "character" Lars has the default craptastic but lovable roger showing up for some reason and I can't figure out how the heck I'm supposed to make the darn thing recognize that I want the graphics from Lars sprite to go with Lars the character, not Roger's sprite(s). In the meantime I'm using Death (from RON of course...who else has a Death char for free? heh) as the player character because I'm stressing over this one. (I'm guessing that this is probably gonna be something really simple that I should've already figured out but was just too impatient or something. *blush*)
Does the BFAQ (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Graphics%2C_Characters%2C_Text_%26_Rooms#Creating_your_own_characters) not help?
- Import your sprites.
- Assign the sprites to a view in the 'View' pane of the editor.
- Assign that View to the Character in the 'Characters' pane.
Remember that you can't directly create .cha files - they have to be exported from AGS after you've made yu character as above. (Also in the BFAQ (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Graphics%2C_Characters%2C_Text_%26_Rooms#Importing_.CHA_files_from_Photoshop.2FPaint_to_AGS).)
...I'll try again per your instructions. Thank you for your post.
"Assign the sprites to a view in the 'View' pane of the editor." THAT's what I was missing!
Yay, now I get to see Lars float around in the game I'm working on.
Since this is answered in the BFAQ...
Locked.
