VX Question - (Intro / Cutscene Events)

Hey guys i have an EVENT VX question...


*i made a new map consisting of a parallel process event, but in order to activate that the player has to be there right? so...i made the map tint BLACK then after a few messages it appears... so...it EXPOSED the PLAYER....how can i make the map event work without exposing the player? thanks guys, i hope i hear from you soon god bless and good Night :)
 
I think I get what he is asking, but I could be wrong.
If my assumption is correct, you want a screen were the map and everything on it is visible but the character is invisible, right? The easiest way is to have the first actor in the intial party not have a characterset sprite. Leave it blank. Then, when you want to make their graphic appear, use the "Change Actor Graphic" command in the Event Editor.

^ It would probably be easier to just delete the entire starting party from the database and then add the ones you want at the end of the cutscene or when you want him/her shown if you don't want the player to be seen at all during the parts that he/she isn't supposed to be shown. Least ways, that's how I always did it because if you were to change their actor graphics to none, then you'd catch a quick glimpse of the player before he/she disappears.
