Multiple characters appear

[Nixxon]

How can I make mulitple characters appear on screen after a certain event?
should i just have them start there after fade in with invisible views... then change the views when i want them to become visible?
Is there a better way?
Thanks, appreciated

Keep them in room -1, which is sorta like the void of the action games, and when you need 'em, just move them with the character[CHARID].room function.

Like:

character[BOB].room = 3;
character[ROB].room = 3;
character[DON].room = 3;
character[JON.room = 3;
character[MACY].room = 3;

if you need Bob, Rob, Don, Jon and Macy in room 3.
