How to change main character sprite later in the game.

[SeikoAllure]

I'm trying to make a horror/thriller game and I want to know how to change the main actor's sprite later in the game.


Example: She nice and clean at the beginning until a certain event and then she becomes muddy or bloody.


Thank you in advance.

In the Event Commands on the third page, there's the command "Change Actor Graphic" under "System Settings". Is that what you want?

@LadyBaskerville I think so, thank you so much!

You could also create a new character in the Actors Database window. Add that character and remove the other after the muddy incident. This way, the character doesn't accidentally revert back to what he/she looks like prior to the Graphic Change.

I don't think that having a new actor is the way to go.  For example, you would have all the bother of ensuring that the new actor had exactly the same exp as the old, was equipped with exactly the same gear, etc. etc. If you have allowed the player even a smidgen of customization, you have that nightmare on top trying to replicate it.


There is no chance of the character accidentally reverting to the old graphic - you have to do an event command again to change it.  Once changed it stays that way.

Does this work for all actors or just the main character

Yes, the event command can work for all actors.
