Battler Overlay, For the Basic XP Battle System Options

[kaimonkey]

I'm just trying to make a simple script, but I need to overlay an image (or another battler) over each battler in battle. I'm just having a quick look to see if there is a simple way I can see to do this buy fingerling with the sprite_battler, game_battler, or scene_battle code.

Is this possible? Or more importantly is this simple? This isn't a request, so I won't go into detail, all I'm after is somebody to say "Oh, try changing this function within this class, and do whatever you were going to do"

Thanks for the help.

I'd edit Sprite_Battler's update method.

[Show/Hide] List of necessary changes

Change from this:


to something like this:


and you can simply make an overlay image
The main bit of code is the blt, the block transfer, which overlays the overlay_bitmap over the existing bitmap, at x, y = 0, 0, and the transferred overlay is at 100 opacity (100/255)

Thanks, that's a huge help. I will be able to finish my simple little script now. I'll edit this when it's finished, and post it. Thanks!
