Are you really tired of not seeing your character because (s)he blends in with the map?

Create two switches.

 

Name the 1st "Arrow System"

Name the 2nd "Arrow Display"

 

Now do the first common event. Name it "coordinates"

Make the trigger parallel process

Condition switch: Arrow System

 

Do this:

 

@>Control Variable: [0001: X] = Player's Screen X

@>Control Variable: [0002: Y] = Player's Screen Y

@>Control Variable: [0003: A Variable] = 60

@>Control Variable: [0002: Y] -= Variable [0003: A Variable]

 

This adjusts the coordinates of the picture.

 

Next

 

Make another common event, name it "Button" (Or whatever you want.)

Trigger: Parallel Process

Conditional Switch: Arrow System

 

@>Conditional Branch: Script: Input.trigger?(Input::L)

@>>Conditional Branch: Switch: [0002: Arrow Display] == OFF

@>>>Control Switches: [0002: Arrow Display] == ON

@>>Else

@>>>Conditional Branch: Switch: [0002: Arrow Display] == ON

@>>>>Control Switches: [0002: Arrow Display] == OFF

@>>>Branch End

@>>Branch End

@>Branch End

 

Lastly, make a new common event. Name it "Arrow Pictures."

Trigger: Parallel Process

Conditional Branch: Arrow System

 

@>Conditional Branch: Switch: [Arrow Display] == ON

@>>Show Picture: 1, 'Arrow', Center, Variable [0001][0002]), (100%, 100%)

@>Branch End

@>Conditional Branch: Switch: [Arrow Display] == OFF

@>>Erase Picture: 1

@>Branch End

 

Screenshots:

The forest!

 

Where am I?

 

Oh, there I am...

 

Any questions, comments about this system?

Interesting...too bad you can't get the button to move...though I bet I know how you could, but it would be hard...by move I mean like...move up and down, as if pointing to the player...if that makes sense...

Well, their is a Script like this somewhere, which allows you to do exactly the same thing.
