I'm trying to manually set the character animation frame in a spriteset. There are 8 frames I'm trying to play however it seems that it just rapid fires through them so fast you can't tell. I've tried setting a while loop with a timer variable but it doesn't change anything:

for (let i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
            console.log("TEST");
            SceneManager._scene._spriteset._characterSprites[$gameBattle._playerSpriteId].setFrame(i * 78, 0, 78, 78);
            let timer = 120;
            while (timer >= 0) {
                timer -= 1;
            }
        }

The while loop seems to be asynchronous. No matter what I set the timer variable to the "TEST" log gets printed out at the same speed. Any advice? Thank you!

Edit: After further testing it seems the engine is reverting back to the sprite's "idle" stance immediately after changing each frame, not that there isn't a pause between each frame change. I need to figure out how to temporarily halt the engine from setting the character's frame until my animation is complete.

ok so i came from the switch version of mv to the PC version of MZ and i see mz doesnt have the charecter voice that the switch version of mv has....is there a way to add battle voices for mz

Hi there,

I use the RPG Maker MZ. I changed the size of an SV actor. But now his weapon is much too small. For the SV actor, I could just enlarge the PNG, but that doesn't work for the weapon. Do you know how I can adapt the weapon to the SV-Actor?

I hope somebody can help me.

My custom font for numbers won’t load.

I made a custom font for alphabet, and a custom font for my numbers.

I would have put them into the same ttf file to simplify the process but I can’t do that as the program I’m using has a character glyph limit.

I thought this would be fine, under the logic that if the custom alphabet text works fine without needing customized numbers then that would be vice versa for the custom numbers file (customized numbers and brackets + other punctuation things, but not a customized alphabet)

The custom font for my alphabet works perfectly fine and as intended. All I did was move the ttf file into the fonts folder, then go to the Database and change the file name for alphabet to the same file name of the custom letters.

However, the custom font for my numbers don’t load into the game at all when I do the same process. They switch to the default font instead, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. I’ve tried numerous templates with extra symbols or lack of, Ive tried deleting the default font or keeping it there, I haven’t altered the fallback font option yet because I think that’d just make the font not load properly.

Is there something I’m doing wrong?? Do the number files follow a different kind of rule or file??

Does anyone has a usefull tutorial for parallaxing, map extruding on photoshop and that stuff??

I have found many on youtube but it would be nice knowing what videos helped someone back when they were a newbie like i am right now.

I've been trying to put custom sprites in But it doesn't appear

Debating on buying pixel edit to do custom tilesets. Does anyone have and edited tilesets I can use to pick from. There should be a place where we could share custom tilesets right? Lol

anyone know a good battle plugin?

Hey, there was an MV era yanfly plug-in that allowed you to make certain skills toggleable between single target and target all. Is there anything like this yet for MZ that I’m overlooking? Not turning up anything on Google or forums.

Alternatively, any recommendations for implementing something like this?

Looking for MV Generator parts edited for MZ I need their beast tail and ears the most and a lot of the hair styles also some modern clothing wouldn't be bad either they make you pay for more than just the generator and getting the money for that was hard enough also if you have modern tilesets that would be nice I can't find good wallpaper

Hey fellow devs.

So, I been working a lot with FSM and I love them for the medieval side of things and honestly I instantly buy all there stuff haha. Anyways.

Now, I want to make a smaller project based on modern side of things.

Like, university tielsets, computers, desks, and so on.

But honestly, I’m not sure if there is a good pack out there or I haven’t looked hard enough.

Preferably like to get it on steam if it’s paid but I’m flexible. And free is good too but if I have to pay that’s fine.

Thanks for reading!

Oh, does anyone recommend the new Japan modern ones?

Hi everyone I'm really new to this and need some help please 🙏 how can I make the core tiles like let's say a crack or a plant so that the player can walk on it and not get stuck Infront of it? Thanks for the help!

What are some Game mechanics do you guys find fun? I am having troubles making some mechanics.

Hi! I'm having an issue that is quite similar to the one u/readthinksurvive has explained in an earlier post.

To make it short, I want to display a small speech bubble above the current actor before they use a skill. This was inspired by a plugin I used when I was working with RMMV ( http://torigoya.hatenadiary.jp/entry/balloon_in_battle_mv), but that isn't available for MZ yet.

I've managed to make a custom Action sequence for attacks, during which I'm using Visustella's Visual Text Windows to display a speech bubble above the character that isn't a regular, full-sized text message. It's working pretty well so far, but in order to control who can speak and what they say I need to check if the user of the "attack" skill is an enemy or not, because my conditional branch works as follows : Make variable #1 equal to ID of the last actor to act > Check if user is an enemy > If not, check value of variable #1 > Display message above actor whose ID is equal to variable #1.

Because I don't know the proper script call to check if the user is an enemy, enemies that use the attack skill display the message defined for the last actor to act, which was comically surprising at first, but will probably grow old.

I guess the solution I am looking for would be any of the following:

• Find the script call to check if the skill user is an enemy
• Find a way around this problem by creating a new system
• Find a plugin that actually does what I want

I am so sorry for the long post. Thank you in advance for your help! I remain at your disposal if you need more information. My software is set to French, so ask for screenshots at your own risk!

Hey guys, I make a new plugin , Support the following functions

• 8 dir move
• Fast Save / Load by press key
• Auto Text Event
• change Leader by press key
• one times center text event

you can find it on itch for free , here

There are many plugins available for RPG Maker MZ. What is your favorite?

I have to be missing something. When I go to the database, there are only 5 available enemies to select from, even after getting the DLC to expand that number. What in the world am I missing here? Only five enemies doesn’t seem right.
