Hey, I new, and I need a way to change an events sprite while said event is running.

For example, you're talking to an npc and they know how to shape-shift, and their sprite changes from a villager sprite to a king sprite.

Under the event commands in the second tab, under the movement there should be "Set Move Route" in the set move route you should be a "Change Graphic" option. (Make sure that the event you want to change the graphic is selected).

Well, one way to do that is to make a second event page. You can set the graphic differently for each. Make the dialog, and whatever else you want, then add "Set Self Switch" a little window will pop up, I believe the default settings are all what you want, but if they aren't already, A is the switch you want (you can do the others, they're all the same, but it's a bit disorganised) make sure it turning on, Next, make a new event page, set the graphic to the new desired graphic, then add whatever dialog.

The result will be that, when you talk to the peasent, he says whatever, and the converstion ends, the sprite is now the second specified, and you can talk to him a again with the second set of dialog. If you want an event to only ever happen once, do the same thing, but leave the second page blank.

RMMV
Both of the above answers are correct.  Which approach you use will depend on what you want to happen AFTERWARDS.

Is the change only going to happen during the conversation, and when you finish the conversation (or when you leave the map and return) do you want the NPC to change back again?  In that case, the Set Move Route > Change Graphic would be the way to go.

If you want the NPC to STAY as the new sprite, even if you leave the map and return, multiple event pages and use of switches or self switches is the way to go.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
