Title: Multiple characters
Post by: on Fri 20/02/2004 22:12:59
I was planning on having multiple characters in my new game. i was just wondering how to do this. You wouldn't switch back and forth and they are in seperate worlds. Basically halfway through the game, the character changes. and you are in a different place.

If there is a tutorial for this anywhere, just point me to it.
Thanks in Advance

Just look up SetPlayerCharacter in the manual. It's really not complicated at all. You can switch player characters at any time during the game, and each character has its own inventory and animations, so it's easy to set everything up.

I was thinking, maybe, setcharacterview would be better, and setcharacter for talk as well. It might be easier than doing checks on inventory items to update to the new char.

I was not undermining Bens suggestion. From what I read, I believed this is what was being asked for better.  Yes, Bens idea will work just fine, too.
