Intro

Hi Guys,

I want to make the intro to my game a bit more... well good! haha

Rather than Start game > New Game then bosh you are in

Is there anyway so you hit start game it will come up with say text and pictures giving a bit of the games story, then fades you into the starting area?

If so can someone help me on how to achieve this? :)

Thanks

Just make a map called "intro" and have the starting position there. You can make the player transparent, and have an event where some scrolling text appears

See I already have that but I want like it to flip through pictures, and if I do it your way, wouldn't that first show the player then trigger the event, or is there a way to start an event before the map shows?

Basically I want a Picture of a 'old book' scrolling through text about "Elsaria and whats happening" and then it fades into a castle room where you are in the middle of a war! ha

In the database, on the system tab, there is an option to turn transparency on. If you have that clicked, your character will be transparent before any events. You could find a book parallax image and set it to your intro map. Then have the scrolling text saying whatever you want. If you want to flip through pictures, you can create an event that shows different pictures.

Then it would be a quick little event on the map where the war is to turn transparency off, and fade in

Thanks, really appreciate it, I will give it a shot now :)

Is there anyway to put animated pictures up? (or a looped giF?)
