Event help please

[jrockwv]

So i was wondering if anyone knew how, and could maybe explain how, to get an event to roll in a different area without having to make the party members invisible and transfer it to the location of the event. For example, my intro to my game starts before you even see the main character, yet the only way i know how to get this scene to start first and show right after you hit new game, is to make your party members start out as a blank non existing character and having it start in the area of the intro. How would i start the intro without having it set up this way? Or say i wanna show a event that takes place somewhere else that the players you control aren't at?  Any help would be awesome! I'm trying to figure this out on my own, but i've been at it for about a week now and it's just got my brain all in a jumble and makes me wanna chuck my computer out a window >.> Any help is greatly appreciated

That's how it's normally done - by making sure in the System tab that transparency is ON and putting your player's starting position where the cutscene is going to happen.


If it's one where there's a lot of movement and you want the camera to follow, you could simply do a Change Actor Graphic to set the first actor's sprite to the NPC you WANT the camera to follow. Then you don't have to move an NPC AND the player at the same time. And just use Change Actor Graphic at the end to put them back to their real sprite.
