So I was just putzing with getting the visual overlay of an item for a character. And regardless of the filename I use. I'm not getting anything. 

I'm using VE-Visual Equip:

Using this function:

<change actor visual>    <change event visual>

#  settings                 settings

#  </change actor visual>   </change event visual>

#   This comment call will add a new visual part to the actor or event.

#   Add the following  values to the info. The ID, must be added, other

#   values are optional.

#     id: x        : actor or event ID

#     name: "x"    : equip part filename. ("filename")

#     index: x     : equip part charset index, if using 8 chars charsets. (0-7)

#     hue: x       : equip part hue. (0-360)

#     priority: x  : part display priority. (default = 0, can be negative)

 

[i put down.]

 

<change actor visual>

id: 2    #  and I've tried 002 for the actor.

name: "$Ninja helmet Male small.png"  # I've even tried removing the .png from it. Still doesn't work.

index: 0 # I'm using a big version of normal sprites.

hue: 0 # I don't want to change any colors. 

priority: 0 # says it's the default.

</change actor visual>

 

Now I'm not going to go into the little tiff I'm getting with the event creator not changing actors. But let's just say I ended up saying saying forget it, I'll just start out with the ninja hoodie. 

 

The helmet is attached. But the actor himself is still the same. 

 

What am I doing wrong? 

[Didn't know if this is supposed to go to Scripts or Support. Technically it's a script issue I need support with. But at the same time, it's a support problem.]

 

 

Also:

 

I try using a simple. Event Trigger [touch a crystal, stuff happens so I can focus on fine tuning all the animation, characters and effects.]. 

 

But even putting a text box saying it's been activated followed by: Change Actor Class: [EMP1] [Monk] ; or what I was originally doing: Change Actor Graphics: [EPM2]; '$EP PC Male', 0, 'None'. 

Followed by another text. "Something is happening".

 

Then add Item. [for the ninja helmet]. I both don't receive the Ninja Helmet, and my actor stays the same. Even though I get the text pop ups. I mean that should be fail proof. All I'm doing is changing actors, and giving myself One helmet.
