be able to select the character you want to play as and start from there point in the story .
just like in wild arms 2
You chould do that with events i think
Yeah. You'd need choices, switches, and the like. It could get a bit confusing but it's a good idea.
yeah it could easily be done with events, if you need an in depth explanation just let me know
it can be done with choices and swithches and it can get a bit confusing aswell

yea i'm going to need more on explanation please
alright, make a map that is blank but walkable
set the main character as a wisp or something, and disable the menu
put 3 events (1 for each character)
make them on key press events.
on each one, make them ask, do you want to play my story?
if yes,
then have them teleport to another map and change the character to that
of the one they are playing
then have them activate a local switch
page two of the events should be if local switch is active, and be totally blank
at the end of each character's story, have the player teleported back to the map where
they select the remaining characters, disable the menu, and change the sprite back to
the wisp or w/e, along with adding +1 to a variable
on the first map, (the selection map) there should be a parallel process that reads how many
characters are done, when they finish say, all 3 chars, the variable would be 3 and they parallel
process would teleport to a cutscene for the beginning of the real game
I hope you could understand at least some of what I tried to get across :)

Over on hbgames.org, Raziel made a script just for this! Check it out. (http://www.hbgames.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10053) It requires the SDK. Also, check out page 8 for Jereth's upgrade of the script; with both SDK and non-SDK versions.
