Got a lot of Requests on this one.
(This is for RPG maker 2000)
The following tutorial incoperates a lot of Rm2k Elements and puts it all together as an opening movie. It's for a game that doesn't actually exist.. so if you wish to create a game from this opening movie.. go ahead...
First Make A map (where your first scene will be and set your hero's start party Position there. Next Create an Event anywhere on this map and make it Autostart. Then add The command to make your hero Transparent... (This is only if you first shot doesn't include the hero)
(It should look like this)
Next set up you characters on the map.
For the Opening bit.. we're going to have a boat sail up to the land and it's going to offload our main villan and a lacky.
So Make a Event on the water of a boat (Rename it to boat) Then make Two events on land where our Main villan and lacky will be. (Making sure that your have their Graphic Set up)
Name them after the main villan and Lacky and Make their Condition A switch.. (We'll call it Offload)
Our Opening movie is now ready to be made!
Go to your Autostart event.
After the Hero Transparency Command. Use the Move event Command To move your boat forward To the land.(you may want to count how many Blocks it has to move)
In This Example it moves six.
Then Click Wait Until moved (In some versions the command is called Wait) It's Circled in red
Change the Switch Offload on.
Next let's have some Messages!
Set Main Villan Face:
MSG: There it is... The Key to Ultimate Power..
Set Lacky Face
MSG: But Sir...
Set Main Villan Face:
MSG:I Know.... The Universe Provides it's own Soloutions.. If I take that.. Some Goody-Two Shoes WIll ALso Receive Ultimate power..
Set Lacky Face
MSG: Then We hunt him down and kill him Right?
Set Villan Vace:
MSG:No You idiot.. If we Kill him.. The power will just pass on to someone else........ What we do is cast him into the Kimara Desert!
Set Lacky Face:
MSg: Oh Ok..
Set Villan Face:
Msg: Yes.. Thats why I'm the Villan and your just a Lacky... We Kill him before he gets too strong... Then the world is MINE!!
So Far the event looks like this
Now we have Our main Villan Move Towards The Item.
Just for effect he'll move a bit slower.. So Set the Frequency To 6 or 5
And Once again, after the movement Command Click wait until moved.
For the fun of it let's show a picture of the item.
And some more Dialogue
Set Villan Face:
MSG: Yes it's mine!!!! Ultimate Power is MINE!!!!
Flash the screen Two or three Times
(So do that two or three times)
Then Erase The picture,
Make your hero Visable by Setting the hero Transparency to normal,
Then Clear this event, (See how to clear a event for more details)
Then Teleport away to your hero's house
The final part of this event should look something like this.
Now go to your hero's house and make another auto event with your hero waking up and jumping outtah bed.
Some dialogue here
Show Hero's Mom face:
MSG:OTYO!!!! WAKE UP! IT's BREAKFAST TIME!
Show Hero's face:
MSG.. Mumble... Mumble.......
Show Mom's face:
MSG: Come On I'm making Waffles!
Show Otyo's Face: (otyo Being the name of out hero)
MSG: All RIGHT!!! WAFFLES!
Have your hero jump out of bed
(Like this)
Now clear this event... and your done...
Now for some theory.... You can use other elements in your opening movie. Also a cutscene would be made via the same mechanics. And Your opening movie can be as short or as long as your want.
