Title: pictures
Post by: Kass on December 21, 2006, 06:42:55 PM

In my game, I have some pictures put down on the screen. Ther's two of them. (both monsters that I made into pictures) They activate on auto start. Have no transparency or transparent color,and the allow event to overlap is checked.

This what happens. Only one picture shows up, and the other picture only shows up when in between things (taking the place of the other picture), like right before opening a menu, or right after I close a menu. Then it changes back to the other picture.

I need to know hot to put both of the pictures on the screen at once.

You have to make sure both pictures arn't using the same number. You've probally got both of them using picture # 1. You need to set one of them to picture number 2.

Just a note, I advise not using Auto Start for continously showing pictures, use Parallel Process instead.  Auto Start prevents the activation of other events and some more iffy things of the like.  If you do use Auto Start though (only to do something once), then make sure you get rid of the event/script after it's performed (switches, variables, erase event, etc...).

I have indeed tried switching picture numbers. The same thing occurs. I may just have to show one at a time.

(let it be known that I did try to use the wait command-then erase the picture, but it didn't erase the picture anyway.)

Try taking a print screen of your event script, it will help us help you.
(Press Print Scree|SysRq on your keyboard to copy an image of your current screen.  It's above Insert, to the right of F12.  Then, paste the picture into a program such as MSPaint, and save as a PNG or JPEG.  Attach the picture.)

I tried that too! It said the picture was to big.

hold on, I have an idea about the pictures. It may not be accepting them because it's a psd. does anyone know how to change psd.'s to png.'s. It's somewhere in this forum, but I can't seem to find it.

....

psd means you have photoshop.

Hence, save the psd as a png.

Not that hard.

However, if you don't have photoshop, just hit print scrn and paste what you want into paint, then save as a png.

I think that'd horribly screw up the image, dude.

Hey. Problem solved. Thanks Bluhman.

Edit:Oh,wait that was meiscool. Dang it. I would have hoped I'd never need to say thanks to meiscool. (by the way, is meiscool a male or a female? 'It' keeps changing 'It's' gender.
