Scaling down character script

[hayato]

I have a world map in my game, and I need it so that when the characters leave any major town/castle/place/etc, their character sprite will be shrunk so that it fits with the world map.

I'd like the character sprite to look as similar as this when shrunk:

can anyone concoct me a script that will do that? thanks.

Uh, why don't you just shrink down some character sets, and use change graphic? Wouldn't that be easier that using a script?

I think a script would be easier..

But in general you don't know what char the player is... so you can't decide what graphics to use unless you know that the main player is always the same or you keep track of who he is.
However I must have something on my HD done with scripts, it only requires an event called world_map...
I'll be back when I find it.

Would it really, though? Or are you just being lazy? I can't really see anything here, that's so complicated, that it requires a script.

If I did that, then I would have to create multiple resized characters for all of my party, being that the player can change which character is in the lead.

Alright, I guess I didn't take that into consideration, but I really, still don't see the problem. Would it really be that difficult? Whatever.

I think Mode 7 has a feature like that.
