FELIXFLYWHEEL'S PROFILE

is there any reason you used a call common event with a conditional branch rather than a parallel process common event with a trigger switch?

The video doesn't show how to do it, it just shows the product of this technique.

A single parallel common event that checks the terrain ID of the hero's coordinates and changes the character set to WalkingInGrass.png when in grass, and NotWalkingInGrass.png when not would be the best and most practical method of doing things.

:O! I'll give that a try. Do you know how I would go about setting that event up?

First off, you'll need to make sure you've got a specific terrain ID set aside for the "Grass" (lets say Terrain ID 2).

You'd need three variables. Two to store the X and Y coordinates of the hero, and one to store the Terrain ID of the tile the hero is standing on. (HeroX, HeroY, and TerrainID).

In Common Events, set up a Parallel Process event. In that event, start with setting the HeroX and HeroY variable to the Sprite "Hero"'s respective X and Y coordinates.
Then get the Terrain ID of the tile at (HeroX,HeroY).

Then set up a conditional branch following that.
If TerrainID = 2 {
Change Hero Graphic to Walking in Grass
}
Else {
Change Hero Graphic to Not Walking in Grass
}

At this point it should work in theory. There might be some tweaking needed, and this will definitely interfere with events that try to change your hero graphic in the future. For that, you might want to set the entire common event here to only be active when a switch is on.

Hope that helped.
