A few questions...

[Bekka]

Hey, I've got a few quick questions (all for RPG maker xp).

1. Is there anyway to get text to come up on the screen for a certain length of time?

eg - I want to click newgame and a screen scrolls up showing places etc. Whist thats happening I want some text to appear on top, and then go off once the images have gone. Anyway to do this instead of having the user click?

2. Anyway to teleport without setting up every square on the map?

eg - You walk off the left side of the map. Do I have to manually put in every square, or is there a way to set the program up to automatically calculate where to send me?

3. Are there any good sites to learn how to script at? I think I might need some to use with my game so I'm interested in learning. Also how long would it take for me to pick a decent amount up?

Thanks to anyone that helps!!

2. Yes. There's several ways. I made a short demo in RMXP a while ago demonstrating a way: http://rapidshare.de/files/16511102/BigWorld.exe.html

1. First get the pictures you want to use, back them up and edit them. Use Paint or some other program to put text in the pictures. Second make a AutoStart Event and add the following code

Code Select Expand

Show Picture : 1, 'Name of Picture', Upper-Left Coordinate (0,0), (100%,100%), 255, Normal
Wait: XX Frames
Erase Picture : 1
Keep repeating this till your intro is finished.

2. Create a single Event and make it Hero Touch, then add the teleport trigger and then use the simple CTRL+C and CTRL+V to populate the sides

3. You can also pickup a couple of scripts from http://www.rmxp.net/forums/index.php?showforum=87 and learn by using and editing them, however you have to put credit for the original author in your Credits.

4. The file is there, the site just requires you to navigate a little... well A LOT compared to me FileFront downloads...
