Fire Emblem Style Talking


Well in Fire Emblem, you always saw how when multiple people were talking, one unit was grey when they weren't talking, this tutorial will teach you how to make similar events.
First your going to have to have the correct pictures, you can find the half-body pictures of all the normal sprites in the instalation package in the folder, pictures, in the folder Extras.
So if the install package was in your documents it would look like this:
My Documents/RPG Maker VX 1.02/Extras/Pictures

The next step is to event the talking.
When creating the scene, have atleast 2 people on screen.
One will be on the left side, the other on the right. You might want to use a picture editing program like Adobe Photoshop or paint to create a flipped form of each picture you are going to use, other wise every one of the pictures will be facing the same way.

One will be entirely on the left side, it should be:
Origin Upper Left
X 0, Y 0
Zoom: Width 100% Height 100%
Opacity 255

The other on the right side should be
Origin Upper Left
X 325, Y 0
Zoom: Width 100% Height 100%
Opacity 255

A picture that has a higher number will be displayed ontop of every lower number picture. So you can put a background picture as 1 and every character picture will be ontop of it.

Step 3: Talking
Now, when the taking event is initacted, the play might be confused by who is talking. We can remedy this by making one picture greyed. To do this, remember what picture will not be talking and go into Tint Picture command. Put in the number of the picture you want, then change the grey to 255 in 0 frames. So if you wanted picture 2 to be grayed it would look like this:

Number: 2
Color Tone:
Red: 0
Green: 0
Blue: 0
Grey: 225
Time: 0 Wait for completeion? (Yes)

When you want to have the picture to be talking again, change the grey to 0

So that should be the end of this tutorial, just make sure that you erase the pictures at the end of the event.
(Using faces in the show text event is optional as well as backgrounds.
