Ugh, I feel like such a noob. This is probably a very simple question, and just me being a dumbass, but I don't know how to select the whole sprite as an event graphic. (I'm bad at explaining, I know, so i have an image.) rpg probooo.png

How would i make the selection box bigger to fit the whole car sprite?

I want my game to start off by a car travelling a long a road, then dropping the main character off. I made the car event, but as you can see, i can't make the whole car the graphic. So it's only part of the car.

Thanks.

Try placing a "$" in front of the image's name. If the name is "rpg probooo", rename it to "$rpg probooo".

Having an "$" in front of any character picture, makes the selection 1/3 of the total width and 1/4 of the total height, whereas when it doesn't have a "$", it's 1/12 of the total width and 1/8 of the total height. Keep that in mind for future use. Try to also read some tutorials for some of this basic info. It will make your job much easier.

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.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such?
