How do I change the main character?

How do I change the main character? I want to start my game with the main character being a kid then later change him into a different sprite.

There's an option on the 3rd page of event commands, under System Settings, called "Change Actor Graphic", that will permanently change the sprite an actor is associated with.

Jericho, you can also change the Database.


Open Ace and look for the Database button (or use F9, the button looks like a piece of paper with a blue corner), and look at the Actors tab.


Double click on the existing graphic to change its initial value.


Use narcodis' suggestion when it is time to change them to a grown-up.

Omergah!!!!!! What happened? I did Narcodis' method and I get "unspecified error" POP up forever....I cant make it go away!!! >_<

Do what grandmadeb said. Go to database then actors tab then you can change the graphic of the first actor (Eric). ETC

It also sounds like you have a script error. See if you can't fix up the database to fix it first. Then try moving the scripts below Main so that they're disabled until the error stops.

Then try reinstalling the broken script back to default to see if you can reuse it.

I got it I just did some parallel process action and just removed the child from the party and then added the grown up version from the event commands

I have a similar question. I hope I don't offend you by asking here instead of opening yet another topic.

In RM VX Ace is this quick option to place the main character on the map. By default the main character is character #1 Eric. Is there a way to change this setting in the project to another character on my list? For example to make hero#7 Rick the main character without tampering in my database.

Or is this only possible by changing m scripts which would make it easier to copy/paste Eric on Hero#11 and do the same with Rick to Hero#1?

Thanks and greetings

Open the database, go to the System tab, top left.

Ohh, ah. Now that's embarassing. Thanks.
