To change the main character from the game and play, for a short or perhaps the remainder of the game, as a whole new character? Like your hero makes a choice early on, and he can either complete the game normally, or he makes the wrong choice and is later killed off (say).
Can you actually do more than just change the hero graphic halfway through the game? And if you can't, will this nifty little trick be added for 1.0.1?
Cheers

Hello Gaviiiiin,
Yes, this is very possible. You can change the hero's graphic and alter his stats(if you want the character he is going to switch to become to be bigger, or smaller, or whatever). You can do this as many times as you wish during the course of gameplay, and for as long as you would like.
I would recommend that if you choose to do this and have the original character be able to be played again, that you store all the stats of the original character into globals so that later on you can recall and reset them. Same with the graphic. Just store in a global which graphic the character is occupying, and if they switch to a new one look up the graphic and the stats associated with it(done with an event) and change him over.
Not a problem at all.

If ou need a guide to how to do all that, "Picquilarius's Guide" does that with the dragon Neo. Although the graphic does'nt change in the example, Neo's attributes do and all you need to do is adapt the concept to change the graphic as well. You can change with a dialog event or put an event trip on your map. The guide also gives good examples on setting up globals as well. The guide has been a great help to me as well as the insights Straytoaster gives us. I check in two or three times every day. One day I'm going to get going on MY game.
I bought the aninations for the sword fighting in Poser 4 and hope to get the fighting graphics posted sometime. If I find the time I might just remake the whole Hero Warrior annimations and add the battle animations. I was pleased to see as much interest in the Poser animations as there were.
