Sleeping and waking up

Yo, im new to the RPG makers. I had never heard of them until i saw MV appear on my steam-page on sale. After a bit of research i decided to buy it and haven't regretted it. But enough backstory, I've begun working on my first game (fully expect it to be not great, just making it for a few friends and to test my skills) and in the into the P.C. falls asleep near a campfire to be woken up by a party member. I've got everything where the P.C. walks up to the fire, says a few things, then the screen fades to black, says some more things in the middle of the screen, then fades in. What i need is to somehow have the P.C. be laying down when the screen fades and then to get up after a dialogue exchange.

If i did something wrong with this post please let me know for future reference!

I've moved this thread to MV Support. Thank you.

You need to make a sprite for them to be laying down, then use change move route -> change graphic of that event. Then after the dialogue change, change move route -> Change graphic of that event again.

Just be careful as you will also have to move them to a moveable tile when this is done too!

Thanks! Will do! I'm not great with sprite making/editing so do you know of a member of the community i could ask?

If you really don't know what to do for the sleeping sprite (if you can't get some sprites online I mean), you could always use the character generator. There's a generated sprite which is for KO actors, but I guess we could imagine it as asleep (although they really look more like KO lol)

I tired that, my P.C. is a kid sprite and their battler page sprites arent the same size as the walking sprites. (not sure if this applies to other sprites) Meaning when selecting that sprite it either cuts of its feet, part of the head, or is completely halved and displays the head on the other side of the feet.

That does not sound right. Can you include a screenshot?
