Changing sprites for battle and vice versa. [RESOLVED]

[Sniper]

Well I'm using the Tankentai 3.3 English Version 2.0 Side Veiw battler script and I was wondering, is there a way to change that script or the game's original scripting so that the database set sprites for the character appear when you're walking around town but as soon as you get into a battle, the game calls up a different set of sprites for that character?

eg. Walking around town as a human girl but when she gets into a battle with a slime her sprite is that of a mecha.

It does not drastically affect the story however it will affect most if not all scenarios that involve any kind of combat (such as after using the Water Mirror) as well as any scenarios that do not involve combat (shoe shopping in Skadi)

Those bracketed bits might as well not be there since you don't know what they're about XD

 

[alphaao]

No, I understand that they involve your story, but nothing more then that. Basically, for those events, just put a square of eight events around the main character indicating whether she should be in the mech or outside of the mech. That's what I would do, but it depends on what happens with your scenario's that depends on whether or not that would work.

 

[Sniper]

Well the character which we've been calling a "she" is actually a he (not that it really matters) and I will have to go down the parallel process road because he doesn't so much get into the mech as he transforms into the demi-god-organic-mecha... XD

I guess this is sort of solved but not really, no one really bothered to help with the actual problem except you.

 

[alphaao]

Oh my! Lol. Well at least we have a temp solution to your problem. If I come up with something I'll let you know of it with a post here.

Just put _mech at the end of the mech version's filename. (guy_mech.png or whatever)
This goes after ATB (1.1).

 

[alphaao]

Only problem is parts of it are in japanese, which could cause conflicts with other scrips and possibly the game itself. Is your game able to handle japanese Sniper?

Unfortunately it doesn't work, for one there is no ATB (1.1) in my Script Editor, so I tried placing it in the add ons section, just above main, and below both the Sideview 1 and Sideview 2 scripts and it did not work, and yes I imported a graphic called $lawrence_mech which was of a tank and the non battle sprite was $lawrence

@alphaao
Part of the Tanekntai script is still in Japanese and it works fine.

ATB aliased the make_battler method so I rewrote the original. Without it we need the original method name.
Does it work with this one?

Ok, that I did not know Sniper.

It works perfectly! Thanks BwdYeti, I shall credit this to you in the....credits... XD
