In need of help for a Character to appear

[Kikanai]

So I'm creating a "Cheat Device" as an item to use (via "Common Events"). I want to have a fairy appear in front of the hero, when the player chooses to use it. But I don't know how to do this. Is this even possible? Would I need a script? Please help.

...Also I'm sorry if this was asked before or if this is a silly question. I'm new to all this stuff...

Thanks!

A similar question was asked in the MV forums on this site. (Google search)
You would need to have an event on each map with 2 pages, 1st page would be blank, 2nd page with the fairy and a switch activating it.
When you use the item, call the common event. in the common event turn on the switch. Set the position of the sprite to just above the player.
That would be the only way. I have not heard of a script that could make events.

Set the position of the sprite to just above the player.

But if I set the position directly on the map, the fairy will only spawn on this single tile, not next to whereever the hero is. So I guess this isn't possible. Well, no fairy it is then.

Anyway thank you for your quick answer!!

@Kikanai you can set the position by finding the player x & y then just subtracting 1 from the y to place the fairy with a set event location command

Really? How does this work? Could you tell me step by step, please?

You use two variables (control variable command, select game data and change from map ID to player x and player y) to get the player position, then a third control variable command to change the coordinate do a position Nest to the player, then use set event location with those two variables for coordinates.

I suggest you follow the link "starting point" in my signature to the variables guide if you don't know how to use variables.

Thank you! I'll check out "Celiannas Variables Guide" you linked in your starting point signature!

And probably most of the other stuff as well...
