[XP] Emoticon Script

[Obsession 3]

I've seen alot of projects around using emoticons. I'm curious to know if there is a way to do this effectively, just like in RPG maker VX. I've searched high and low for one, its not urgent, but it would be nice if their was one.

There is an Emoticon Animation Sheet. I've used it for one XP game that was never finished :( I had almost every Emotion all set up. I liked the "Sweatdrop" one the most, the way it sounded, though the "Anger" was funny as well :P

 

Edit: Good knews, I found the script :) Give me a few moments to get it into here (for some reason, the codeboxes hate me :( )

# $scene.emotion(id, ev)                                        #
# Now if you are using the default file and also placing the    #
# emotion on the main character, the sentence is reduced to:    #
# $scene.emotion(id)                                            #

You'll need the EmotionIcon Picture from VX.....

How to use the script.....

Save this file in the Pictures folder of you project with the name Balloon.png (you can change the name, but don't forget to then change it on the DEFAULT constant. It's Balloon.png no balloon.png. (Case Sensitive apparently)

[warn]The ID of the Event is not the one you see on the name (like EV001) or the info bar at the bottom right of the map editor of the RPGMaker XP. If it says it is 1, it is 0 (substract 1). Player is identified as -1.[/warn]

Also the name of the creator of the script: Ánemus.

I think that'll do.

 

Edit 2: I think somethings wrong with the Warning Box, some kind of picture isn't showing.

Just given you some rep for that. Thanks for the script. I'll fiddle around with it, see what works and maybe even implement it. Thanks.
