How does one go about making a sprite appear in a nice little text box, as a choice? :O

This can be done many ways, but lucky for you I have 2 mins to make an event for it and a screenshot for you!

First make a new character in the DATABASE and name it unknown, edit the part in the DATABASE and make UNKNOWN the starting person. Make his picture be something oter then a real person...maybe something in support, then do this:1

if you want it to be a pic of the characterset, then use paint and crop out the pic of the character looking stright ahead, and save it as a diff file.

where it says "show picture' insert your own picture into the game folder, and import it into the materialbase under pictures. and select it. (the picture should be of what the person will look like

By what I said I ment like, In show Choice have the choices as sprites, not text.

I'm going to have multiple sprite choices per class.

ooo, Im not sure, but I think that isnt possible to show pictures as choices...I will try and fool around with it, but you would always have the characters lined up side by side and move the arrow under each and then have it say "select blah blah, Yes or no" if no then you can move it to the next person.....

ok , so I attempeted to make a pic show up as a choice...it dose not work for any script I tried...The best I could get is this screenshot (don't worry about the looks, just look at the layout...I put it together in paint in like 1 min so the pics are crap...so anyways what do you think? since your first request can't be done:

That could work.

But I swear one of those /(Insert letter here) commands is to throw a sprite in.
