Is there a way to make cutscenes where the main character isn't on the screen? Like a way to hide the main character? For my game, at the beginning the character is lying down and that is a different graphic. There will be some cutscenes that he won't even be in.

Right now, the way I'm doing it is to put the main character behind an object, then later teleports the main character to the screen when the cutscene is over.

Change the character graphic to none

thankyou that works perfectly!

Sometimes I change the player graphic to something else entirely for cutscenes where I want the camera to follow another character for a while.

Why would he do that when there is a proper event command for that?
It is called "Change Transparent Flag..." on the second event tab.
