Face graphic?

[soranthus]

Hello guys, you know when your character talks in the game. How do you get his face graphic to come up next to his writing??
If you know what i mean.

It's a built-in feature in VX.
For XP, there's a couple of scripts, message system scripts, with this feature.

Well i only have XP so what scripts to i get?? and firstly how do i use them??

 

[Dargor]

You should use a script named Ccoa's UMS. I think it's the best message system for XP.
Just do a forum search, using the search engine in the upper-right corner of the page, you should find it.

To use it, just open rmxp, then open the script editor (it's with the database, materialbase and sound test), you can also press F11 to open it.
Then scroll down to the end of the list, create a new script above Main (just click on Main and press Insert) and copy-paste Ccoa's script in there.

Check for it over at RPG Revolution. She is still active there, so you will get the latest version, and
also support for it.

Are you sure your picture is in the right folder?  If so, is it the right name?  If you don't see any errors, do a screenshot of your event page and give me your image name.

My face graphic is in the right folder "graphics/pictures" and the face graphics name is 'locc face' and in the npc event command 'script' i write in $game_system.face_graphic = "locc face" and it says it cant find it when i talk to the npc??

It may be due to the break between the two words in the name. Try manually hitting Enter after the "=".

Alternatively, you can use the commands \face[locc face] and \name[locc] in the message window, which should achieve the same effect.

OMG!!! DUDE! your a legend at making games and fixing them!!! thank you so much it worked, all i had to do was press enter after '='!!
God! all day i have being trying this and now i'm finished with it!! thanks!  :thumb:  :thumb:  :thumb:  :thumb:  :thumb:  :thumb:

Dam, another problem occurred. When i use the face graphic, my text sometimes goes of the text box and u can't see what it says. Now whats going on?

Its just the way it clips the text. Be wary and use the arrow in the box as a notification of when your text will cut off.

A lil' testing and you can feel the right length of the text can go before clipping.
