Need Help: Floating Icons
02-22-2010, 09:07 PM
Hi, first time poster. I'm new to the rpg maker community.
Ive been looking through the forums and reading some things, I am on a quest to find a particular system I want to add to my own game.
The system I have in mind I have seen on a few youtube vids, it is when a player opens a chest or receives an item an icon displays above the characters head then floats down into their sprite with the icons image shrinking as it goes.
Now I completely understand switches and variables. I am also good at editing graphics in GIMP. My problem is I have no script knowledge. I do understand code(C++ and java), but scripting seems different.
If anyone could either show me how to do it or just paste the code I would greatly appritiate it. I never plan on producing anything commercially btw.
Thanks.
