So? Would somoene know how to designate a part of the master palette for a (16 color) sprite?

Thanks in advance fo the help!

Could you elaborate? I'm not totally sure what you mean. Do you want to be able to modify that part of the master palette with script commands so that you can fade/tint/etc a sprite onscreen?

I would like to store the walking grafic palette of my heroe in a part of the master palette. Then, I will fade the colors and my heroe will stay the same. (as "bright" as before the cutescene start)

Feel free to ask further questions if you still don't understand!

I hope to add the ability to imoprt multiple master palettes into a game at some point. Without that feature, this is a bit trickier:

Have a look at 'How do I customize the master palette?'

Choose a section of the palette. Things are far easier if you use a row of 16 colours somewhere (prehaps you don't need 16 colours) and keep the rest of the palette untouched. It would be a good idea to choose a set of colours you don't use very much.

So start with the default 'Master Palette', and replace a row with the colours you use in the 16 colour palette for your hero. Create a MAS file, import it, and create a 16 colour palette for your hero sprite that uses those 16 colours instead of where they appear elsewhere on the palette.

You need to make sure that none of the rest of the graphics in the scene use that row of colours. One way to do this could be to wipe that row with black, import the .MAS file, and check all your npc and tile sprites.

When you're done, reimport the original OHR .MAS palette (or other palette), it's ohrrpgce.mas.

Ok, now the tricky bit. You have to write a script that:

1) Changes the master palette to the modified one
2) Changes the hero sprite to one using the modified row of colours
3) Fades out the rest of the palette
4) Resets the palette (or prehaps fade back in)
5) Resets hero palette

BTW: Important note: You might want to display a textbox when the palette is faded out?

Uh, I'll discuss the rest of the details in another post. What do you want to display onscreen when everything but the hero is faded out? Do you want to fade everything out to black or just make it dimmer/grayscale?

I will see what I can do with that later. Anyway I would like to know how do I use while loop in my autorun map so that my script interpreter don't overload.

I would also like some advice to use correctly global variables in runing and stoping while loops combined with autonumber scripts. Are there important things to know about it?

Thanks in advance for helping!

Seeing the script in question might help. I have used global variables in my while loops before, I don't think that there is anything wrong with that. The important thing is to avoid calling the script again while the old one is still running (or at least, that is one important thing). For example, if you have a map autorun script that has a while loop to make it run indefinitely, and your map has doors that lead to itself, everytime you go through a door you will call the script again so that you end up with many copies of the same script running on top of each other. My first suggestion would be to have a tag that keeps track of whether a script is running. Something like this:
