Creating an NPC - beginners problem..

[Sylee Games]

Hi, can anyone help please?

I have created a 2nd npc character, looking towards diologue now.. and set start room and co-ords, and followed the tutorial - but am all thumbs getting the sprite in

I used the ROTN template when starting the game, but using my own room graphics etc,
I'm sure there should be another npc sprite already in the set i loaded in no?
if i go to the room the npc should appear in, is just not there.

Look in the editor, and make sure you select "characters" from the drop-down menu (it defaults to show Nothing when you first open the room). You should be able to see the character there.

You don't directly assign a sprite to a character; what you do is put the sprite(s) in a View, then assign the view to the character. If you only have one sprite so far, just create a new View, add three loops to the first one, then set your sprite as first frame into each of the four loops.
Now assign the newly created view as the character's NormalView and the sprite should appear in the preview section.

If you still can't get the character to appear, make sure you didn't accidentally draw a walkbehind.
