Hello, I just got RPG Maker VX Ace and oh my gosh I am having a problem.
So, in the beginning I am trying to do name input and gender. The problem is once I test play it, it will only work on male and it won't change to female. I am so confused!!! I watched three guides for it and I am still having a problem. What am I doing wrong???
:kaodes::kaosigh::kaoeh:

YET
The female picture shows with the input name but not the female character!!! Only the male once I transfer it to adifferent place

In your 'Female' branch where you have "Is this correct?" you have "Yes" twice, the first time it does nothing - however, that is the command that the engine will be trying to execute.

Watching guides/tutorials is not usually the optimal way of learning something like this. I strongly recommend that you have a look at Andar's compilation of info for new users, especially the playable tutorials he links to - one for events, one for Swtiches and Variables. Spending a bit of time on this now will save you a huge amount of time and frustration in the future.

Additionally, always give all actors a default name, never let them be unnamed even if you plan to let the player Name them.

1) the default Name will be placed in the event Commando, where it currently lists [] only.
As soon as you have several unnamed actors you will be unable to identify which actor the current command is targeted AG.

2) some players are lazy and don't want to Name their actors, give them a default for Vetter readability.

check your system.. make sure delete your starting party...
theres nothing wrong with your event... its working fine with me when i tried to run your event.

here event i recreate again

but theres a problem with your event.. if player choose female, and then he decide to change his mind to male... you will find problem with input name prosessing on male side.. since your charather already changed to female before...

to fix this.. yuou need add again change actor images to male below charather label

The starting Party is defined in the system tab in the database.

On my journey of character rework: I had this character, she was meant to be just a princess that joins your party. And at long term she was just uninteresting... So I tweaked her to be a rebel agaisn't the royalty before meeting up with the party.

Quick tip for any other ametuer pixel artists! When trying to create a colour palette, enabling Antialiasing can speed up the process of creating different shades! Just place your lightest colour and your darkest colour next to each other, select both pixels, and stretch it out!
