[Beginner Tutorial] Character Blinking

[jaraide]

Okay, the first thing you want to do is create a common event. Make it a parellell process. Call it something obvious, like "BLINKING" or "Character Blink". Note that this does not work with the RM2003's switch front character mode, but really, who uses that anyways?
So in the Common Event thing, enter in these commands:
<> Variable Operations: [0001: BLINKING] set rand 1-3
<>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: BLINKING] = 1

Code Select Expand

wait: 0.1 sec[code]
[code]change hero graphic: graphic with eyes shut

Code Select Expand

wait: 0.1 sec

Code Select Expand

change hero graphic: normal hero graphic
<>End
<>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: BLINKING] = 2

Code Select Expand

wait: 1.0 sec

Code Select Expand

change hero graphic: graphic with eyes shut

Code Select Expand

wait: 0.1 sec

Code Select Expand

change hero graphic: normal hero graphic.
<>End
<>Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: BLINKING] = 3

Code Select Expand

wait:  2.0 sec

Code Select Expand

change hero graphic: graphic with eyes shut

Code Select Expand

wait: 0.1 sec

Code Select Expand

     change hero graphic: normal hero graphic.

<>End
This way, the hero blinks what seems to be intermittently, and sometimes blinks twice in quick succession and stuff. It's a very neat and subtle addition to your game.
Something to consider when fine tuning the blinking feature is that in real life people blink about once every four seconds.
