I Got about 20 different people e-mailing me and I've been able to help with all of them except one, which I am still working with that person. Yet I also got a unique piece of e-mail, and they fixed the one pixel error that you KEEP getting. He said on his computer that it work perfectly but on mine I get the one pixel not working the first time but is fixed the next time around.(The one pixel will fix itself about half way around so it doesn't really mess you up except if it keeps repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating and repeating AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) ================================================================================================= Why Did I write this? ================================================================================================= This question sound pretty stupid but the reason I am answering this is because I read "Death Force's quick and easy guide to making clouds" and it didn't work right. BUUUT it did lead me to a much better cloud animation. I'm not trying to insult him but he probably didn't wanna sit there for another 5 hours like I did struggueling to get it to work. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be writing this so THANKS DARK FORCE!!! ================================================================================================= What Has To Be Done ================================================================================================= Whenever there is something I don't tell you to do just leave that as default. ================================================================================================= OK this is where it is alittle different ================================================================================================= 1. ) Make an event on the map that you want to have cloud's on. 2. ) Set the event to paralell process 3. ) Now create a cycle 4. ) INSIDE!!!!! the cycle insert a show picture command with these commands: Picture Number:1 Select Picture:Morning1 X coordinate :0 Y coordinate :120 Transparency :50% 5. ) Also INSIDE!!!! the cycle make another command Move Picture: Picture Number:1 X Coordinate :320 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% Movement Time :300 (30 seconds) Make sure to check the wait until done box! EXTRA ADDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:End the cycle here then create another 6. ) Now inside the cycle have an erase picture command and set it to erase picture 2 7. ) After the last command insert another move picture: Picture Number:1 X Coordinate :640 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% Movement Time :300 Make sure to uncheck the wait until done box! 8. ) Now make another show picture command: Picture Number:2 Select Picture:Morning1 X Coordinate :-320 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% 9. ) Then make another Move Picture command: Picture Number:2 X Coordinate :320 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% Movement Time :600(60 seconds) Check the wait until done box this time 10.) Erase Picture 1 11.) Move Picture: Picture Number:2 X Coordinate :640 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% Movement Time :300 Uncheck the wait until done box 12.) Show Picture: Picture Number:1 Select Picture:Morning1 X Coordinate :-320 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% 13.) LAST ONE... FINNALY HUH? Move Picture: Picture Number:1 X Coordinate :320 Y Coordinate :120 Transparency :50% Movement Time :600 Check the wait until done box ================================================================================================= What the finished product should look like ================================================================================================= Parrallel Process Events Commands <>Show Picture: 1,Morning1,(0,120) <>Move Picture: 1,(320,120),30.0sec(W) <>CYCLE <>Erase Picture: 2 <>Move Picture: 1,(640,120),30.0sec <>Show Picture: 2,Morning1,(-320,120) <>Move Picture: 2,(640,120),60.0sec(W) <>Erase Picture: 1 <>Move Picture: 2,(640,120),30.0sec <>Show Picture: 1,Morning1,(-320,120) <>Move Picture: 1,(320,120),60.0sec(W) <> :END Cycle <> ================================================================================================= Troubleshooting ================================================================================================= Well after you are done Test Play and go to the map which the event is on wait the 30 seconds and if it doesn't cycle correctly look over every thing and if that doesn't fix it e-mail me and I'll see if I can help you out. Also before you e-mail me split the 60.0 second times into 2 30.0 second times instead thanks to ArchMage for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== My E-mail address is Trosstar@go.com =================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================== ================================================================================================= Other Stuff ================================================================================================= WAAAAZZZUUUUUUP I'm finnally done with this SOB I've been working on this thing for 3 hours straight, one of the reasons It took me soooo long is I am soo tired at this point.
