A Fixed Picture?
« on: September 25, 2007, 06:11:17 PM »
I'm relatively new to the picture thing, and I was wondering if there was a way to make a picture stay in the same place on the map rather than staying stationary on the screen. I've got a couple of landmarks I'd rather not have floating on the screen following the hero around...

Is there a way to do that, or should I try building the items into a chipset?

I think you can put the 'images' onto a char-set and place them on the map as stationary events.

That didn't seem to work too well, the picture followed my character well beyond where it should have been. So is that a glitch on my version of the program or did I do it wrong or what?

I'm thinking glitch, because when I uncheck the box the same thing happens.

Usually that should work, but what you could do is make an event on the map. make it a parallel process, make two variables, set one of the variables equal to the events x possition, and set one to its y possition. THen display the picture at the variable possition of that x and y possition.

So it'll look like

[x pos] = event x possition
[y pos] = event y possition
show picture at [x pos] and [y pos]
wait 0.0 seconds

Hell Yeah! Just recovered all my old rm2k/3 games from my 10 year old, broken laptop hard drive that had been formatted and had a new OS installed on it. Oh, and I did all of this from my phone. WIN

Judging by the fact that none of this has worked, I'll try ugrading to version 1.08 or 1.09 and seeing if that helps. Thanks for the advice, and I'm sure it will work for anyone else on any other computer, because that's how things go for me.
