question about airships

[ScytheX]

sooo how big can one be? because i kind of want to use a large one that me be like 4x4 or 2x6 ( or 6x2? )

kind of like the Lunar whale from Final Fantasy 4:

Sprite sizes are not fixed, any sprite can be any size as long as the sprite structure is valid.

However, even in larger sprites the engine will only react to the bottom center 32*32 pixels as the true vehicle. You need to keep that in mind for the visuals.

ah i see

so there script for this kind of thing is there?i kind of remember some kind of thing for ships but i don't remember what it was.

well anyway thanks for letting me know this makes things easier for me ^^

 

[Andar]

You don't need scripts to use a large sprite, that is already in the engine by default.

You only need scripts if you want to change the default behaviour of the vehicles.

ah ok. then is it possible to make it where you go inside the ship , like going in to a room or something and then going to a control panel that starts it up and makes it fly? this is also something that was in FF4

and to make more then one ship event as well as attach events that moves along with the with the ship?

Problem is, you have to pay for it on commercial projects.

It may not be exactly what you want, but I think it's close.

sorry to re open this but i wanted to check something. is it possible (mostly with a script) to have a large ship sprite that's like this

Wide: *going left and right*
O O O
O O O

Tall: *going up and down*
X X
X X

This is a completely different question.
I think you would be better off starting a new thread in RGSS3 Script Requests.

Explain what you want - perhaps being a bit more explicit. Is it that you want to the same sprite to be passable if the player is going side to side (all those O marks) but impassable if they are approaching it from the top or the bottom, as indicated by the X marks? Or maybe you mean something completely different? Your explanation is not very clear. You seem to be asking if the same tile of the sprite can be both O and X if the sprite is 3 tiles wide and 2 tall. But then, what happens to the 3rd column? You see how confused I am with your description.

your making seem more complex than it is. im talking about the tiles and i use O and X so it didn't look messy.

But as O and X are routinely used on this site to indicate passable and impassable tiles, this is confusing.

So are you asking if you can have a sprite that is 96 pixels wide and 64 pixels high? If that is what you want, the answer is yes if, and only if, you format a sprite sheet correctly, so that the 12 images (3 down, 3 left, 3 right, 3 up) are arranged in 3 columns and 4 rows. They have to be evenly distributed, so your sprite sheet will measure in total 288 pixels wide and 256 pixels high. The file name must begin with the symbol $ so that the engine knows this is a single sprite sheet, and not a normal 8 character sprite sheet.

If that isn't what you were asking, then you will have to explain more clearly what you want.
