Title: Stupid frikin damn event
Post by: Ayden on December 22, 2005, 01:59:18 AM

Ok I know this has to be like the simplest thing ever but I CANT FIGURE IT OUT!!! I'm using RPMXP and when you go  to the events and then the suport file thing that has like the smoke, and the fountain, and the lights and stuff, I want it so the fountain looks like its squirting the water, and the fire on the torch is moving, and the smoke is coming fromt eh chimney. But everything I have tried wont work!!! Can any one tell me how to do this? Also can you change the icon for your XP games or is that like not posible?

Make sure you have the 'move animation' 'stop animation' checkbox checked in the options field, and your autonomous set to 'fixed' and the trigger is set to parallel process. That should do it.

I find that just having Move Animation checked does the trick  :?

Oh, yeah you're right dwarra, my fault. The stop animation box just makes it so that the character or whatever will stop moving when ya talk to 'em.

I'm having another problem with support animations, only the bottom part of the graphic is displaying. I have move animation, stop animation checked and Autorun checked. What can I do to solve this?  :D

Why do you mean by the bottom part? You mean the bottom four frames on the charaterset? Is it a support event (as in a fountain or something thats animated but not supposed to move around) or an NPC?

It's a support event, smoke. It's animating fine, but only the bottom half of the image is being displayed.

You'll just have to take my word for it that it animates fine.

Thats very strange, I've never seen that.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you should check your tilesets in the database, and see if the priority of the roof tile thats above the smoke in your screen is set to *5...

I don't think that would make it do that, but that's the only thing I can think of.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully you'll get some mod attention, or someone who knows more than me.
