Cutscene help

[Forgemaster]

Quick question, how do I replace an actor or character image during a cutscene? I'm having some people get killed in a cutscene and I want to replace there standing bodies with damaged ones.

I'm not on my computer at the moment, so I can't provide screenshots but there may be an event command called "change actor icon" or something along those lines. If it's not in the main list, you can access it in the "set movement route" command.

It's on the 3rd event page. Called "Changed Actor Images", I believe.

you need to use multiple event pages and switch them to a page with the different sprite using general switches.


Theoretically is is also possible to change an event's sprite with the command in the move route, but that won't get stored and will revert to original when reentering the map later.

Thank you for mentioning this. I've had some issues in the past wondering why things reverted on changing maps.

@Andar Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think it's alot simpler if you just use the change actor (edit)graphic event command.


You can change it back right after the scene. No need for more event page clutter than necessary. If you're anything like me, most of your big events have a few pages already. The change actor graphic thingy does the "switching" for you. Much less of a "thing". So it eliminates having to use an extra page and an extra switch(or self switch).

@Mako Star: change actor command only works on actors, not on events. It is thereby limited to actors being killed, not NPC characters standing around in a cutscene.
