Hello everyone. I have been tinkering with RPG Maker Xp for ages now, made headway into several games, never finished anything.
But now that my girlfriend is on my team, she is keeping me in line, and basically making me finish a project. @.@.
Poor me, tongue.gif.

Anyways, we would like to know how to make a animation through events, Basically switching back and forth between two tiles (or more..) the entire time to get the effect of fire. As it is now, we have it looking quite lame, with this dinky non billowing flame.
We just want to add an effect of realism, is all. Plus, it bothers me. So yeah. ^.^.

Screenie:


Thanks,

It's fairly simple, you just need to check either the "Move Animation" of the "Stop Animation" in the bottom right of the event screen. "Move Animation" means that the event will anamate if it's moving (if you make it walk or something, this is mainly for peopel) and "Stop Animation" will make it animate while it's stationary (which is what you want for fires and stuff.)

Thank you for such a fast reply, it worked like a charm. And made me feel like an utter newb. Which I am, apparently.
There are just so many gosh darn buttons in the Event Screen, I was bound to miss one. ^.^

Again many thanks.

No worries xD.

If you're ever stuck on what a button does, you can press F1 or right click and press "What's this?" to get a really handy tooltip. Surprisingly, they're pretty helpful and are all over the place xD.

Thank you so much for the advice. ^.^.
It means a lot. I usually get chewed out for being a newb on other forums. But here, everyone is so kind and warm.
Makes me feel welcomed. ^.^

Again thank you, and sorry for my mushy rant. wink.gif
