Title: Changing Characters [ABANDONED]
Post by: on Sun 05/12/2004 16:07:58
This has been stressing me out all day and I can't find answers anywhere. How do I change the stupid Roger character to another character (like Guybrush Threepwood)? I've tried everything! I have the animation images and stuff like that. Can someone please help? Good day.

1) Import the images into AGS.
2) Put them into a view, so they animate as you want them to.
3) Assign that view to the character. Go to the 'Character' window, and change the 'Normal View' to the number of the view you just created.
4) Read the manual, and the Beginners FAQ. (http://bfaq.xylot.com/) This is explained in more detail in one of them, I'm sure.

I've already tried that. I have managed to create everything in this; converstations, rooms, objects, inventory, but i can't do the characters!

a) next time you use all caps, your post will be deleted.
b) does your new character have a script name.
c) everything ashen said is what you are to do. you'll need to give us a step by step description to see what youve left out. its not hard

You've got to tick the 'this is the player character box' in the settings for the character you're using. You probably tried making a new character when people meant you should use the roger character and just change his view. Either way works fine.
