Talking actors while playing and moving

[eikira]

Hi


I am pretty sure, people already asked such a question, but i just did not found anything that helps, probably because i searched for the wrong tags/words.


So i am very new in RPG Maker, i had RPG Maker ACE but was never into it. Now i bought MV and started a real project.
I have many problems, but i do learn a lot of things thanks to a great quiet hardcore community in this field.


Let me show you first a bit my scenario:

I want to create like a commander and later add soldiers. The commander asks something, and the soldiers scream their answer back.


So and that "dialogue" i want to happen beside the players FREE movement on the map.


Of course i managed to create the simple textbox, and i also know how to make a route for the player character. But i would prefer to move freely and even more awesome it would be if i could define if the player is like 8 'stepps' away, the "bootcamp chanting" would not be displayed anymore.


In other words, i want this endless back and forth screaming by the commander and the soldiers just happening beside anything what is happening on the map. That means that merchants etc. have also to interact with the player while still the warriors in the corner doing their thing.


My english is not the best, but i hope everybody get it, what i want.


Thanks for any help.

Try the Random type Under the Autonomous Movement in the event editor.

thanks for the suggestion but this does not help.


maybe because i set my commander as the event himself with him as the image of the event.


also i added a route to his image, like he is walking left and right while he ask his troop. his soldiers will also be just an empty event only with their actor sprites, so that the baloontip, when they scream, can pop up over them.


is my way wrong of doing it? meaning seting an event, choosing on this event the image of the commander and make him move left and right? but i see no other possible easy way of making him walking and animate him...


for better understanding i will post the event screen and the route i made for him:

Hum, by default, when text is displayed, you cannot move. Like said before, Yangly's gab window allow you to show text and still be able to move. 
To stop the event while you're too far try using this :

it's in portuguese, but it's pretty easy to understand, and it should do the work.

yes, thank you. that is a way. but not the cleanest solution i think...


the problem i have with this is, how i can make it endless?


if i use the loop option in the event editor, 1. it does not loop the gab 2. for some reason the framerate drops to 14...


it should be like such a dialogue:


commander: Text 1


soldiers: Text 2


commander: Text 3


soldiers: Text 4


commander: Text 3


soldiers: Text 4


loop from Text 1

loop without condition is a bad idea. It makes the engine having a LOT to do.


If youadd the same gab text to the list, it will be delete. I will give you more help after my work if needed.


Same here. I didn't use a lot this plugin myslef. I will give you some explanations when I will be able to use RPGM.

Here's you Gab window problem !

Spoiler

Change the base wait time and the time per character to what you want (60 frames = 1second)
 


About the MogHunter's plugin, I don't have the time right now to make tests with it.
Download his test demo and search (it's the map with the ghost and the chicken).
