Kiss plugin

[The A.C Gamez]

In The game i have been working on theres a kiss cutscene it would be cool for a plugin that you choose two images of the characters then it will make them kiss

Images like facesets? Impossible. Images like charsets? Impossible too due to different char dimensions. Not to mention, the program cannot edit pictures for you. You have to do the work.

You can do this without a plugin. You just need a few different pictures\busts of the characters you want to kiss, and one of them actually kissing. Then, just use the move picture command to move them closer together during the cutscene. You can do a similar thing for sprites, only you just use move routes rather than move picture.

Why not SumRndmDde's Actor Select?
Select one character, store it in your default variable (we'll call it "Actor 2", you'll see why in a minute), then copy it to a NEW variable (call it something like "Actor 1", -- as the plugin only stores actors to a single variable, so you have to do some legwork), then select the second actor.

Then just compare Actor 1 and Actor 2 to determine which actors you're gonna have mack on each other.

Technically impossible. Even if someone made such a plug-in you'd have to provide all of the images yourself to show it, which would mean you could do it just as easily yourself at that point. Computers can't render images they don't have, short of advanced CGI techniques, and even that is done via massive cubic spline interpolations which would...well, let's just say you'd need an ex DreamWorks animator to have any shot of that happening.

May wish to look up the information on how Monsters INC was done. DreamWorks once published public info on it, and just the main monsters face was 700 math equations. So unless you want to reduce your entire image to thousands of math equations (which YOU would have to provide), it's not happening.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't think OP wants to animate the kiss.
I mean, what's wrong with having character sets of every available combination (time consuming to make, but not impossible), or pictures showing them mid-kiss?

There's no need to over-complicate things.

 

[bgillisp]

But that is not what their post says they want. It says they want to give it two images, and the plug-in does the rest, which is not what you are describing.

@kwanzaabot shortly after the OP read a plugin was impossible, they created a request to edit certain two characters. The answer therefore is, either they can't draw them kissing or are lazy.

Hey, fair enough.

But saying it's "impossible" just writes off the entire idea as pure fantasy and helps nobody.
On the other hand, if he's willing to rein in his idea a little and make some adjustments to his expectations, it's perfectly doable.
