To transform a main character on demand simply follow these steps

1. Set up an event that is parallel process

2. Give this event a conditional branch based on a key on the keyboard, such as Z

3. When the condition is met Put a change character graphic command and switch the sprites to whatever you wish, such as a monster.

4. Then, add another conditional branch to the same even, only change the key to A, or whatever you wish, and make the graphics change back to the original character sprites.

Now when you are on the map pressing Z or A will switch you out from one form to another on the fly. Of course, it's recommended that you add an animation and sound to this for better effect.

Also, You can use this to create simple challenges, such as only being able to do certain things or complete certain objectives while in one form or the other.  This might not be anything special for you pros out there, but I thought it was an awesome idea, and I'm sure other newbs could use this information to better their game.  Sorry, I dont have any demonstration pics.

Thank you for viewing
