A small plugin to control faces in message windows via plugin commands. This can be useful if you let your players have variations (alternate outfits, for example) that affect faces, but you don't want to copy and paste every message for every variation.
Changing player's face and sprite is very easy with default event commands, and some plugins let you select this specific actor face (the one used in the menu) for messages. But this plugin lets you manually select which file and which face, which I needed for my project because I use different emotions for all characters, not just their menu face.
Features
Plugin commands to override next messages' faces, selecting filename and index (specific face in the sheet).
How to use
Before a text message you want to be affected by this, you would use a plugin command like so:
>filename: the filename of the face sheet you want to use. Without including .png. Filename must not contain spaces.
>number: the position of the specific face (also called index). You have to start counting from the upper left, which would be 0.
Example, if I want Harold's face, I'd type:
This will affect every message after this command, even those that originally have no face. So if you want to go back to RPG Maker default, you have to add this plugin command:
One could think, "
what is the point of this? I'd still need to set up conditional branches for this and type the full command. Example, if variable is 0, BFface Actor1 1. If variable is 2, BFface Actor1 2. This is basically the same work as putting the whole messages in the conditional branches".
And that's a good point! If you're not super against copy-pasting messages, this doesn't save you that much time. But for one you don't have to copy all messages again if you decide to edit them later on, and it's also convenient for me because I use a translation plugin and I've had to copy and paste messages in all translations. This is manageable if it's just 3 messages, but the variations will increase and... I really don't want to do this 10 times each, lol.
