Is there something that can show me.....

[mrbeardretrotv]

Is there a tutorial that can show me how to change a tile (ex. a book closed) to another tile (ex. a book opened)? Maybe I'm just missing it and it's right in front of my nose? I tried to google it and see if I can find something, but I've had no luck. Or maybe I'm just looking for the wrong thing?

Meow if you give me a bit I can make little tutorial with pictures.

Just use an event with two pages. On one page, the book is closed, and on the other, it's opened. Use a switch or self switch or something to activate the second page. If your images are from a character sheet, make sure you check the Direction Fix box on both event pages. No need if they're taken from the tileset.

Please use meaningful thread titles, so we can see what you need help with before opening your thread (it saves a lot of time if people know they can't help, you get views by people who are interested in the subject rather than just a lot of noise, and it also helps people who might be searching for the same thing later). Pretty much every person who posts here wants someone to show/tell them how to do something.

Yeah Shaz's explanation is good.
I'll save picture tutorial for another day. I'm actually working on my game right now, (furst time in a while meow)

Ok sorry about that Shaz.
I wasn't exactly sure if I was posting this in the right area or not. I hate to also sound dumb, but I'm not sure what your talking about either? Basically what I'm trying to do is make an event where the player walks up to a closed book on a desk, gets a choice where to open or close it and have the tile switch to an open book if they choose to open it.

You are not dumb, but if you just got this software and having a hard time with it, @Andar has a nice set of tutorials that will help expand your understanding.
As for the images thing, first if you have a closed book image, and an open book image that match your needs, right click the spot you want this "event" to be at..
Click in that checkered box area where you can choose what you want the image to be and click the closed book to select it.. Set your trigger to Action Button.
In the 'comments' section do a Show Text of like "Would you like to open this tasty looking book and feast on the plethora of knowledge?"
Then do a Show Choices with the standard Yes No as your choices..
In the "Yes" area, do a Control Self Switch and Choose A. Leave No empty.
Now Create a new page in the event, and in the Conditions click "Self Switch" and choose A.
Then double click in that checkered area where you can choose the Open Book Image. Once you do that go over to the Comments section and put in whatever you want for show text or give an option to close the book.. To close the book, you can do like Control Self Switch and turn it off there, that will return you to the first page of the event.

I hope this helps. Meow.

Oh ok! I get it now, thanks Sauteed Onion! Yeah I'm still working on my 30 day trial. I'm hoping to make enough to buy it because the game I'm making is going to take some time.

Well, it's on sale on Steam now. I think the Summer Sale is going on until um.. July 5th? yeah, something like that.
Say, if you want to, you can always come over to my profile and talk about fish! Or other food treats. Meow. I keep it G and PG there. > _>
