How to properly kill off a minor character
Tbh I should've worded this a lot better.
I'm mainly talking about development, how much development does this character need to make the death more "sadder" as people put it. It takes place in the middle of the game but how much screen time does this minor character need in order to make the player feel sad for the character dying.
Maybe I should stop making bad jokes in my help me topics.

How to properly kill off a minor character
(I dunno if this should be in help or game design so help seems like the best answer).
So I have this character that pretty much shows up a couple of times in my game.
He's not a party member, just a important NPC.
And I want to kill him, but how?
Killing off a party member is pretty easy to do well (formeanywaysbutIdigress). But not a minor character, they don't have much screen time as the main crew. So how can I kill off this character well? Make him have an impact and not just "Oh he died, alright."
If you want an example on how I did it (aka tried), I pretty much adding a short flashback before the "emotional scene." But I feel like it's forced.
I need help killing someone in a good way please.

The entire point of this status is to have one continuous stream of quote-tags! The bigger the better!author=MarrendYup, that was LockeZ, in an effort to perfect the pyramid.author=pianotmI think that may be LockeZ's doing.author=KylailaIs... there an extra quote-tag in here? Looks like it started popping up around here.author=pianotmI know!author=KylailaWonderful.author=InfectionFilesIt's happening! The words are starting to go off of the page! This pyramid will break all records! (Except the important ones...)author=pianotmWe already have tons of languages tho. Will I need to learn a second Japanese?author=KylailaTower of Babel! blah blah blah blahauthor=kentonaWith this pyramid, we shall climb the heavens!author=KloeWE OFFER PRAYERS TO YE GODS. FOR WE LOVE YOUR GRACE AND POWER THAT ENABLED US TO CREATE THIS BEAUTIFUL PYRAMID.author=InfectionFilesYou guys are going to anger the gods...author=KylailaI really want an icecream...author=InfectionFilesYAASS <3 <3 <3author=pianotmRIGHT?! <3author=KylailaIt's so beautiful ;__;author=pianotmIt shall be the greatest pyramid that ever was!author=LockeZIT'S THE PYRAMID OF LOVE!author=pianotmOh, you did that! I thought that was an accident!author=InfectionFilesPianotm, a couple posts up, you somehow accidentally turned my fake-end-quote tag into a real end quote tag. How did you do that without breaking the structure? There must've been one more end-quote than start-quote after you did it, but the pyramid still went all the way down. Anyway, I just fixed it.author=pianotmRecords were meant to be broken.author=InfectionFilesIt's possible we are also breaking the record for most posts on a status!author=LockeZOne line pyramid that does NOT have the structure of a 2D triangle, tyvm!author=InfectionFilesThanks man! and fuckauthor=CashmereCatOK!! Entire pyramid is now one line. Also this isn't actually a pyramid. It's 2D, so it's just a triangle. Sorry.author=LockeZYOLO!!!author=pianotmOh yeah. You're right. I guess all it takes is one person to fix that for everyone. And that person ain't me.author=InfectionFilesYou guys know you don't actually have to hit enter after the [/quote] before you start typing, right? You don't even have to hit the space bar. You could have made this entire pyramid as ONE LINE but you failed.author=CashmereCatPyramid building intensifies!author=pianotmLet's do this thing!!!author=InfectionFilesI don't know what's happening!author=pianotmNew goal, people! Let's make RMN's first solid gray pyramid!author=InfectionFilesCompactor engaged! This is a wall of memories :,)author=InfectionFilesPage break resolved! EDIT: Actually, with the quote boxes collapsing, we've probably already made it as high as we can go. Let's see how tightly we can compact them!author=pianotmWait! It's a tornado now when you scroll up quickly! Well, not on a page break. :(author=InfectionFilesWhen we get to the single letters. Even then, would it ever be truly destroyed? It has marked its place in history. The biggest pyramid ever!author=DyhaltoWe can already see the quote boxes collapsing in. How high can we go?author=KloeYeah I had to go eat because of this. And we will see if this pyramid can stand the test of time or the weight of its burden.author=pianotmThe 65535th brick will collapse the pyramid.author=InfectionFilesI'm hungry now, dammit guys!! >.<author=TungerManUSpicy Tuna, Alaska Rolls, Dragon Rolls, California Rolls, with wasabi! Thai curry and apple juice to compliment it! Nobody's ever come up with a meal this fantastic!author=pianotmHoly shit indeed. *chuckles* My mouth is simply watering over these things. And the workers need water! But on the hush hush I think I'll keep this Apple juice to myself. ;)author=Kylailaholy shitauthor=InfectionFilesThai, apple juice, and sushi! Be still my beating heart!author=pianotmOh god yes! It's decided then. *orders Thai food* It's a good apple juice, regional produce! Enjoy~ I look forward to a good feast. After so much work, some festivities sound very appropriate, AND welcome! I wonder if the workers who remain will be able to join us again for this lovely feast.author=KylailaHmm, how about we get Thai and Apple juice tonight, thank you Kylaila *sips glass* and tomorrow we have feast for the ages! Starting with Chinese and then mmmmmmm mmm mmhm sushi! Now that sounds like a battle plan!author=InfectionFilesI love Chinese and I love Thai food. I also like pizza, but the one thing I'll take above all else is sushi.author=SoozI asked, and they stopped delivering for tonight. We CAN get some Thai food or some delicious pizza, how's that sound? I can't imagine a better end than delicious food. I still have some apple juice too *pours a glass*author=Luiishu535That sounds delicious, Sooz! But I also want some Chinese food. Can we get that delivered to the booth? Back to you, Kylaila!author=InfectionFilesI made okra and tomato curry today.author=KylailaSpeaking of Steam Greenlight, I'm quite fond of Chinese food.author=InfectionFilesIt really is. *chuckle* This beautiful monstrosity is sponsored in part by Tumbling Apart and Adaeus, Rogue Planet. Get out there and subscribe or even better vote on Steam Greenlight!author=KylailaHow lovely to be here today, isn't it? There is little to add, I think we should let the viewers admire this work of art and beauty by themselves! Those smooth walls, the many people buried in the walls - I mean, showing their engraving and personal touch to this huge construct. Truly, truly a work for eternity.author=InfectionFilesYes it is, Kylaila, yes it is. We are coming to you live from the sunny beaches of Tampa, Florida. The pristine waters make a perfect backdrop to the events unfolding here today. Anything to add my wonderful co-host?author=KylailaIT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!!author=KloePYRAMIDS! TRIANGLES!

Pyramids are involved, after all.author=SoozThat could be really soon at this rate, hahaha!author=StarSkippAlso I am looking forward to when the first post is just a stream of single lettersauthor=InfectionFilesPharaohs are already gods by definition.

Also, Coca Cola! I know I like a refreshing glass of iced Coca Cola while building a pyramid and I'm sure the workers on the ground do to. Ha.
THANK YOU.
God is dead, and we killed him.
This community is amazing
This community is more open than others.
Of course it ain't perfect, but no community is.
But pardon my irrelevant opinions, welcome to RMN!

Not the best way to go about this, man. The shame is that you didn't have the patience to just ride it out and now you're quitting? I say it's a shame because it seems like you have some real promise and potential, it's just that your attitude leaves a lot to be desired.
Like a lot of hobbies, this one takes time and maybe even more so than some. Especially when you have the hopes of releasing it to a mass audience so easily and readily like a place like RMN or any RM sites.
But I hope for the best for you and implore you to not quit game development because of anything that's been happening recently.

[SCRIPTING] [RMVX ACE] Adventures of Victor: The case of the looping animation
Maybe I should've written a better title.
So here's my issue, I want a simple animation loop to resemble charging magic or whatever. You could do a parallel process but the animation will flicker, and that's a no no.
So it seems Victor's script is the only one out there that allows a animation to loop without flicker, or at least I hope so.
However, his instructions are very vague. Or maybe I'm stupid idk.
So in a cutscene, I want my actor to have an animation loop. I typed in the comment call exactly how the instructions said it, but I always get this message.
Script: Loop Animation' line 450: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method 'add_loop_animation' for nil:NillClass
The comment call in question is <actor loop animation i: x> (i being the actor ID and x being the animation ID).
(By the way, it's not a script call. It pacifically says to use a comment call).
Also, I tested it on a blank game. Same thing happened.
I also have the latest version of Victor's Module, so it ain't that either.
The script in question is here
EDIT: I found a different script that does practically the same thing, link is here.
