What I want next to the text in a message window is a picture of the person who is talking...
The way I want it to look rather than having a head shot is to have a picture of the Sprite, so you can match up that image with those in the game...
May be have a light coloured backing behind the Sprite and the text to the right of the sprite... May be have also have a anim you can add to that sprite of a mouth moving so it looks like the sprite is talking....
The way I would envisage this working is a script... Have a message window call to an Event and super impose it into the Message window....
I suppose if you make it so it calls your sprites in the window from a certain map screen, you can place all your sprites in that map as Events and name them as the names you want them... then on the message window use a look up like script entry to find Event name on certain map and inplace it to the message window... that way you can make monsters appear in there, and if you want them animated you predetermin it in the Map screen on the actual event...
I hope that kind of makes sense... (So all I want is a Message window that you can attach an event to appear off set to the right, it means making the message window a little larger and some way of adding an event tag)...
I could use this for all sorts, like when you find an item it could appear to the right, When you complete a Section I could have a little animated event run... Like killing a creature the message could read "Triceratops has been slayed" and an Event anim of the creature falling down...
But the main funstion I want is for talking to other Characters in game...
