Visually Changing Equipment
TUTORIAL by: Grafikal007
Purpose:If you equip any equipment large enough to be seen visually on a 32x32 sprite, it will change the appearance of your character(s). [Note: This won't work for in battle, unless you have a script that sets your sprite as your battler.]
Pros:- It's freakin' awesome
- If you wanted, you could just forget about your stats and make yourself look pretty when you walk around
Cons:- Takes approximately FOREVER to do correctly and you need a depth of knowledge on conditional branches
SCREENSHOTS:Not really applicable. Just imagine your character looking different for each thing you equip.
PREREQUISITES:Step 1:
Spoiler for:
----Gather images that contain your character wearing every single combination of armor you plan on including for them to wear. [Yes, I realize that it is A LOT, just check my demo ...

Now, this may seem a bit confusing at first, however once you get the rhythm of making the branches, it will get easy.
Note: Looking at the demo's Common Event may clarify a lot of your questions.
Also Note: In the demo, if you're not wearing any chest armor at all, you'll retain your character image even if you change your helmet or cape. As soon as you put on a chest armor, the image will change appropriately.
