Shapeshifting Potion???

Etular · May 04, 2007, 12:22:44 PM

I heard of somewhere that there is a shapeshifting potion item made using common events but i've searched and haven't found any... Please can someone point me in the direction of one?

like when you use an item you change your graphic?

in the database under item click common event set it to an empty one.
now go to common event tab and click that common event.
on the right Use w/e command you want to happen when the potion is used. (Change actor graphic)

I know how to do that, it's just i'm stuck on how to only make it last so long (e.g: Drink Snake Shapeshifting potion, Walk around as snake X no. of frames, Turn back into human).

alright, after the change actor graphic put:
<> Wait 200 frames
<> change actor graphic (Back to normal)
<> Erase event

It just turns him into a snake, freezes him on the spot for 200 frames then turns back to human.

P.S: If you like I could add a copy of the game so far.

EDIT: I wanted him so that he could move AS A SNAKE for x number of frames not stay still.

Have it so that when you change graphic, it turns on a switch. Make a common event, set it to parralel process, make the trigger the switch that turns on when you change graphic, and put what Nouman said (minus the Erase Event) in the common event.

abbbbbout what I said? I mean there is a normal WAIT command. if you put a wait command using set move route it will make your character wait not the event wait.

make an common event And make a timer
( it should show it at the top right corner)
Make it so you change into a snake the after
The time you set Change graphic to normal

Than you have and item make it call the
common event and then your done
