Setting up my character, please help!

Alright, so I've begun to use RPG Maker and so far it's pretty simple... 

I've set my character up and got him how I want. The only problem, I'm not sure how to implement him into the game itself. I set an event for a character starting point, but when I start the game he doesn't show up. It shows the area I want him to, but he's no where to be found. I've looked all over and I can only find Scripts for making a character and tutorials on how to use the character generator. Neither of which help. Unless you can tell me where I'm suppose to put the scripts. I've tried placing them in the script editor under Main, but that did nothing when I start the game. 

you need to go back to the basic tutorials, in this case to where they show you how the starting party is defined in the database, system tab (top lrft area).


Follow the link in my signature to the tutorials and sample game you need to familarize yourself with the engine.

While in "event" mode, (F6) right click a square, go to "set as starting position" select "player"

If he still isn't showing up, go to the "system" tab in the database and look to the top-right. Under the "options" panel, make sure that "Transparent ON" is NOT checked.

After that I'm out of ideas

Did you remember to put them in the party? That the game isn't just starting without players?

My character is in the party and I don't have transparent on. It's still not working :|  

Then post a screenshot of your system tab and your actor to see what you've done wrong.


Best test the settings in a new project on a new map with nothing else (no events) on it, you might have placed an event turning transparency ON or something similiar.


If you make a new project and change nothing, starting the game should have the actor visible on a water map.

Here's my screen shot of the system: http://postimg.org/image/s4nh1hxkx/00dd4ad9/

My actor: http://postimg.org/image/orf8es401/51c53436/

your actor has no sprite selected, that's why he isn't displayed on the map

It would be that simple n_n Ugh, haha. Thank you!
