Script to change actor sprite[resolved]

[jcsnider]

Ok I searched this time 

I am looking for the small script that would change the actors sprite...

[Fantasist]

Can't you do that with the ""Change Actor Graphic" event command in the 3rd(?) tab? o.O

[jcsnider]

yes, but, I am not doing an event I am in the scripts 

[Fantasist]

use the "set_graphic" method. Get the actor you want and execute the method. Example:

$game_actors[ACTOR_ID(in database)].set_graphic(charset_name, charset_hue, battler_name, battler_hue)

[jcsnider]

Ok, i will try it.. it looks as if it gets the char graphic from the database...

Is that what it does or does it do like Setplayer graphic = "graphic name"
I have no idea what i ma really talking about, it just looked long to just set player character graphic

[Fantasist]

That function gets executed when you use the "Change Graphic" event command. If you observe, you'll be selecting 4 things there: character graphic, it's hue, battler graphic and it's hue. That method only sets 4 variables to their respective values. If you only want to change one of those 4, read the variables you don't want to change and put them in the set_graphic method. For example, if you want to change only the charset graphic, do this:

actor = $game_actors[ACTOR_ID_IN_DATABASE]
charset_name = "Your charset name here"
charset_hue = actor.character_hue
battler_name = actor.battler_name
battler_hue = actor.battler_hue
actor.set_graphic(charset_name, charset_hue, battler_name, battler_hue)

Or, you can make those variables attr_accessors so that you can direrctly change them.
