How would the animation break out of the loop, via a press button or after a certain number of loops?

I did a similar feature for an old project in VX Ace albeit using events, though I haven't tried MV yet. I'm sure it can be accomplished just as well. Although the only thing that made it easier was onscreen map encounters and not random. It was easy for me to store enemy's stats to variables then do formula to do AI and damage. If that's what you had in mind, i'd be happy to offer some insight.

You're probably pressing the wrong button. Playtest your game, then press F1 to check which buttons are mapped to your keyboard. C Button doesn't necessarily mean its the letter C in your keyboard. By default it is the Space button.

Rather than having all Youtubers as playable characters, why not have most of them appear as minor/supporting and offer the main characters skills/items/weapons/armors/etc. that makes a reference to their channels? Having over 50 playable characters (I can think 12 is plenty enough as it is) is heavy work in implementing dialogs and story plots. How would you be able to highlight each character that sets them apart from the rest? How would the gamer choose which characters to choose in their party?

The original script only checks whether a switch is on or not, but doesn't check if a bust exists or not. I seperated the conditional contents of the Draw_Bust, and inserted it to a new method check_bust. Thanks to Chungsie's suggestion using exist? I used this as a condition to check first if a bust exists or not, then flip the switch used by the script according to the result. Glad to see it works, I didn't test if manually flipping the switches on/off would ruin the script, you can try it but I'd advise keeping it dormant lol.

Sorry solution was not working.,, I forgot that I had a switch turning on and off at a particular event during testing lol. Nevermind that.. Still working on it.... Okay try this: It replaces the following methods: draw_face draw bust and adds a new method: check_bust Copy the following and paste it to your Bust script Starting From line 184... alias yamibusts_draw_face draw_face def draw_face(face_name, face_index, x, y, enabled = true) check_bust(face_name, face_index) return draw_bust(face_name, face_index) if $game_message.bust_enabled? yamibusts_draw_face(face_name, face_index, x, y, enabled) end def check_bust(face_name, face_index) @bust_sprite.mirror = false if face_name && face_name != "" folder = $game_message.bust_folder name = "#{face_name}-#{face_index + 1}" if File.exist?("Graphics/#{folder}/#{name}.png") $game_switches[YamiBusts::ENABLED_SWITCH] = true @bust_sprite.bitmap = Cache.cache_extended(folder, name) else $game_switches[YamiBusts::ENABLED_SWITCH] = false end else @bust_sprite.bitmap = nil $game_switches[YamiBusts::ENABLED_SWITCH] = true end end def draw_bust(face_name, face_index) off_x = YamiBusts::WINDOW_TYPE_OFFSET_X[@background] off_x = $game_message.bust_mirror ? -off_x : off_x off_y = YamiBusts::WINDOW_TYPE_OFFSET_Y[@background] @bust_sprite.x = self.x + off_x @bust_sprite.x += self.width - @bust_sprite.width if $game_message.bust_mirror || Window_Message.auto_mirror(face_name) @bust_sprite.mirror = true if $game_message.bust_mirror && YamiBusts::SHOW_BUST_MIRROR || Window_Message.auto_mirror(face_name) @bust_sprite.y = self.y + off_y - @bust_sprite.height @bust_sprite.z = YamiBusts::BUST_Z_INDEX $game_message.face_name = face_name # for addon script end Tried it and it works, credits to Chungsie!!

Each frame dimension must be 192 x 192 For more specific info you can consult the Built in Help File via pressing F1.

@chungsie, I think the OP is aware of this and wants to have the script show normal faces if it can't find the Bust for convenience. tbh its troublesome as well as confusing, in switching on and off if the Bust character is in heavy dialog with a minor character. I'll try my hand in checking out the script and finding an edit, hopefully this will be a good exercise.

Thanks for all the helpful tips and advice everyone, I totally appreciate it. This will help me tremendously with my writing. tbh I've never made a habit of using color tags besides pauses lol. But will have to experiment on that.

You can Turn OFF Switch 9, or whatever switch you've set up so it can use normal facesets. Turn it ON again to activate busts again.

I'm not much of a writer, but it always made me wonder how to write dialogs and adding the usual sighs or the occassional stutter without making it look annoying, particularly in videogames. Do you add any style or formatting when putting sighs/sobs/hiccups/gasps in your dialog. Or it doesn't bother you at all. Would love to know what you guys think.

I like the shade of green it looks good, but I find the trees too repetitive at the bottom, maybe put some large pine trees(like in the center left) to have some variety. Also the squareness of the upper edge portions of the cliff tiles, don't really do the parallax background justice, perhaps rounding it off could soften the blockiness. The tree on the right side of the map near the edge shouldn't produce shadow at the edge and the autoshadow is present in the right side of the map, but not in the left.

Just tried out your project, and apparently the Switch 1 is bugged for some reason. I tried another unused switch, in my case 81, and I was able to progress through the next map. Weird.
