Question| How to make flashes to the game

[deathreaper123]

Well,
I have a question bothering me for some time - I want to make in my project option that every time you enter a city or a major place(Example Nablia Forest, a place that there is a major battle in my game or a main city) there will be a flash animation in length of 5 seconds for example that will show the main place of the area and the name of the place,
my question is that possible, if yes so how

I have little knowledge in RMXP so if there is a way without scripts, I prefer that someone show me that with a pictures or with link for some good tutorial in the web for it.


thanks

Well, you could have a "Show Picture" (second page event) with which you load a picture in your picture folder (a PNG with the name of your town), wait 100 frame (20 frame = 1 second) then "Erase picture" the one you just showed.

As for the major place thingy, you could save in 3 variable you Character's Map_X and Map_Y (Character's Player Map X/Y), as well as your Map ID (in the last part, "Others") if your "main area" is on a different map then where you enter the town or so. Then, transfer the player to that place (make sure you make the character's graphic to none), show the picture, transfer back to your original place using the variables (note : variables are only needed if you can enter the map from more then 1 place).
