Hey all,
I know this may seem like a stupid question, but how do I make it so the player can choose their own character from a list of actors? I'm pretty sure it's possible...just not sure how...Any help would be appreciated :)

Make your game start on a blanc map
Make sure that in the database on the system tab you have no actors at the initial actors window
You can have a autorun event that draws images or just a textbox with choices.
Make it so you must chose one character and when this is done use a Initialize character command with the character from the database you want.
After this the event just teleports you to the starting map where the person you chose will stand and start with the game ;)
I only have one question/comment about that...I use the multiple starting points script, so how would it work with that?
i'm in the making of a script that allows you to select a class, how your character looks, starting position, race and the whole nine yards.
but dunno when i have it finished
I might have possibly found a workaround for this until you can get that script out...I'll let you know if it works :)
I'll wip sumthin up real quick.
EDIT; Easy eventing... a boy/girl from each class and boom a couple of conditional branches and you've got progress.
I'm still having a bit of trouble with this...currently, as a starting character, I have a squirrel. I don't know if I want the player to be a squirrel when they start out xD
Bump...I tried this:

But the only problem is that it does not work with Winkio's Blizz-ABS Party HUD (http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=2206.0).
I've also removed the multiple starting points script and came up with a different way for the player to start in a different area depending on which race/class they choose.
If anyone can make a fix (preferably winkio) to the above problem, I would be very happy.
Thanks,

Just start with the HUD off, then turn it on once you pick a character. Not that hard.
Thanks for the help :)
