Hello
I am trying to implementing a Visual Novel style in VX, and while it's nothing spectacular I rather have it working than not ;D
So, I order VX to post a image that take up most of the entire screen (this is to serve as the backdrop setting), then I want actor images posted and erased as I order while text and user choices dictate the flow of things overall.
However, things go bad quite fast in VX, The 1st posted "backdrop" image posts correctly over the entire screen, but as I call in the actor images to be posted on "top" (over) the backdrop image everything just go wrong as they are posted UNDER (lol) the backdrop image...
Please look on posted image: code.jpg - any directions on how I best can have this to work the way I want? :blizj:
The very best regards

Use wait commands if you want it to wait or something. That's what they're there for.
Show Picture: 4
(Put a "Wait" command here if you want Picture 4 to hold on screen for a little, before Picture 1 [the face] blasts on the screen.)
Show Picture: 1
(Put a "Wait" command here if you want Pictures 4 and 1 to hold for a little bit before posting the text.)
Text
(Put a "Wait" command here if you want it to hold Pictures 4 and 1 for a little bit after the player reads the text.)
Erase Picture: 1
(Put a "Wait" command here if you want Picture 4 to hold on screen for a little, before Picture 2 [the face] blasts on the screen.)
Show Picture: 2
(Put a "Wait" command here if you want Pictures 4 and 1 to hold for a little bit before posting the text.)

Erase Picture: 1
Erase Picture: 4
60 Frames = 1 second in VX
So figure out how long you want to wait between text messages and pictures and then use the correct number of frames.
Also, Whatever is labeled Picture 1 is going to be placed first, Picture 2 will be placed second, therefore Picture 2 will be 'above' Picture 1. Your background image is Picture 4, make it Picture 1 and your faces should be Pictures 2+
Just wanted to say: thanks a lot! Now I can go back to my project! ;D
