Archived First Post

Hi everyone, I've come across a problem while trying to make a menu and I have absolutely no idea why it's not working, I don't know if I'm missing something or if it's a bug:

As I understand, pictures with a higher number should appear on top of those with lower numbers, right? (For example picture #5 should cover picture #3 if I place it at the same spot). -> If this is wrong maybe that is why it doesn't work.

sorry for the annoying lettering in the middle, I don't know how to remove that.


I'm making a menu that works both with mouse and keyboard (I got that part covered), but I decided to "animate" the pictures with "move picture" command. The first NPC works perfectly with 2 pictures as a transition, but if I try 3 pictures (the second NPC) it gets stuck before finishing the "animation". I only change 1 thing between those two NPC:

These start with full opacity:
Picture #1 - closed eye
Picture #2 - empty speech bubble
Picture #3 - open eye (the event starts at this option)
These invisible:
Picture #4 - one dot on the bubble
Picture #5 - three dots on the bubble

If I hover the mouse over the speech bubble or use the keyboard, the open eye picture goes to 0 opacity (so the closed eye picture remains visible), and the pictures of one dot and three dots of the speech bubble show up progressively. When I go back to the eye the process gets inverted.

Here I moved the old picture #5 into picture #6. Now picture #5 has 2 dots on the speech bubble, and picture #6 has the final image of three dots.

I put the "two dots" picture (#5) between the "one dot" (#4) and "three dots" (#6), but for some reason picture #6 never shows up on top of the rest.

I have tried to change the number of the pictures (#10, #20, #30...), change the order they appear on the autorun page, I have tried to include a waiting time between them even if it ruins the event, just to see if the picture popped up and it still doesn't work. I have tried to check the "wait for completion" on the move command and same result. If I don't erase that picture #6 it stays on the screen when all the rest disappear, so I guess it does show up but under every picture.

I really don't get it.
