I'm newish to RPG Maker. I need some help!

[fett8802]

I made a small game in RPG Maker 200 like 8 years ago. It's been a long time and I've forgotten most of the stuff. One thing I remember is that I could never get the graphics the are obviously there for movement (fires, waterfalls, crystals, etc) to animate. I've search and looked back about 10 pages and didn't find anything related to this.

So, my question is; I'm attempting to have those crystals in the support group of graphics to glow. There are 4 provided pictures each. Any help would be wonderful. I just want them to glow on screen while my opening cutscene is playing. Thanks!

Open the event and check the box 'Stop Animation'.

I feel stupid now. Thanks for the help!

How about making your main character invisible?

What do you mean by invisible? If you want him to not show up during a cutscene or whatever, it's simple.

In your event, remove all party members from party. When you want them back, just put them back in (if you're doing an opening cutscene, you can just delete all starting characters in the System tab, and add them in later).

Try Move Route and select "Change Opacity"; set it to 0 in 0 frames (if you just want your character to blip out of sight). Then it's just a matter of making the opacity 255 again when you want to make it reappear. Works for all other events, too.

Or you can change the actor graphic to none.
