Create 2nd Char & Switch Icon

[Arjunaz78]

How can i create a second character and put in to other room?I mean for example i want a 2nd character to save her friend from prison,while the main character currently stuck in prison and cannot do anything..

And i want create a switch icon that player can click and then change the 2nd char as a main char. otherwise player can switch back to 1st char later..

I know i can use the;

Code: ags

cEgo.SetAsPlayer();

as the scripting code but i don't know how to put it on room scr. or global scr. besides i think i need to put another scripting code to it right?
and for the switch icon,can i create custom GUIs or i need to make it as Object?

THX.

You'd put the switch button on a GUI.

As for the button's code:

Code: ags

  if (player == cEgo) cFriend.SetAsPlayer();
  else cEgo.SetAsPlayer();

Or the short version:

Code: ags

  character[(cEgo.ID + cFriend.ID) - player.ID].SetAsPlayer();

Keep in mind that coding a two-player character game is a good deal more complex than a standard game; if you're having trouble with stuff like this already, maybe you should improve your coding skills first.
