Characters

[fben1990]

I have drawn a character for my game but it says it needs to be saved as a .cha file I use paint shop pro 7.0 and I can't see any way that you can save as a .cha. Please can someone help me thanks.

well, I would yell at you for not reading the ags beginners faq, but it seems to be down.  

so... .cha files are files only made with ags.  used for when you import or export characters.

you can, however, import each frame of the character into the sprite manager, and then go to the view manager, and assign the sprites to walking frames for upward, downward, left and right movements, and even talking animations.  you need at least 4, i believe for each movement/direction. then go to the characters manager, and create a new character, and assign him the view you just made.
its very simple, but if you have any problems, just reply. we'll sort this out.
happy adventuring

AGS Beginners' FAQ is back up, and for good, so everybody take note.
