please post a screenshot of the event pages, then we can tell you - there are half a dozen different option what might have happened, from you forgetting to place a sprite to turning transparency on to having no page with fulfilled conditions to several other options.

the "Print Screen" button doesn't actually print...it creates an image of your current screen. If you go into 'Paint' and press Control-V, that image will appear in Paint for you to save..

its usually on your own keyboard key. PRT SC, Print Screen could be 1 of them. usually near the ins, home, page up areas.

not related to rpgmaker. it basically copys your entire desktop view. meaning it would be best to crop off extra stuff in paint if you do not want to show the world your desktop etc.

yup, that is it. once you print screen,

CTRL V into paint.  COPY the part  you want to show us using the square crop tool on paint. open a new page on paint and paste it. save as jpeg file. upload here.

some keyboards require you to hold the FN button on your keyboard and print screen button together.

Afraid that is not all of the event. You cut off the left side of the event, and usually errors like you describe are due to errors in setting up that left side. Is this page 1 of the event? Are there other pages? Things like that will really help with the debugging.

As it is, with all you posted, all I can tell you to do is make sure that switch 002 is on, as you have the event set to run when switch 002 is on. However, if there are other pages after that, discard that, as RPGMaker *always* runs the highest number page that meets the condition.

No, it is not complete - the most important parts are outside or hidden behind the taskbar.
Best guess - from what I can see behind the taskbar, you haven't selected a sprite for the event - that's why it is invisible. you need to click on the "Image" field on the left side and select a sprite for the event to become visible.


Next time, don't use [prtscrn] for screenshot, but use [alt]-[prtscrn] as that will limit the screenshot to the active window.

Then we need the screenshots of the girl event to check what might prevent the display.

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
