How would i put an icon over an events head?

[Sobeman459]

Script Title:Icon over event

RMXP or RMVX:
XP
Detailed Description:
What i want to do is in a script snippet in an event is to place an icon over(if the event is a character) the characters head if a switch is on.

If any other info is needed please let me know.

I don't know much about scripting, but couldn't you do the same thing with "Show Animation"? O.o

or show picture.

export the icon you want into your "pictures" folder.
Then go to common events and create a parallel process event that assigns The event you are talking about's x-cordinate into a variable called x and the event's y-cordinate into a variable called y
bellow these commands, add "Show picture" at "variable" then select the variables you made. Get it?

 

[Sobeman459]

yes but im going to be using it in multipule events at once thats why i would like a script

bump

I made a script for this. Just search EITD (or Event Icon & Text Display)

Probably find it on google if you can't find it here.

I cant find it on here or google. If you could point me into the right direction that would be great. Thanks.
