I. Intro
--------------------------------------------------------
This tutorial is fairly n00bish, but i was asked the question
not long ago and decided to write a tutorial on it.

Simply, when you have a certain item equiped, it will
change your characters appearance to look like that!
--------------------------------------------------------
II. Whats needed?
--------------------------------------------------------
| Switches |

0001 : ChangeClothes

----------

Make sure that 0001 is only on when
you want the hero's clothes to change, so
during scenes where the hero GFX changes,
make sure it isn't on. Remeber, you will need
your own GFX for this.
--------------------------------------------------------
III. Source Time
--------------------------------------------------------
This shouldnt take long, you don't even need
to know variables!

Make a common event, that is a
parallel process, call it something like
'ClothesChange' or such. Make it turned on
by your 'ChangeClothes' switch. Mine is
0001. =)

The rest is very easy, create a fork condition,
when Hero 'Alex' (or your hero) has 'Cheese'
(or your piece of armor) equiped. Then inside
that, change the hero GFX to the GFX u want
it to be! Repeat the fork for all the pieces of
clothing you want to use. It should end up
looking like this!

<> FORK Optn:Alex- Cheese Equipped
<> Change Hero's Walk Graphic : Alex->AlexCostumes1-3 Set
<>
<> END Case
<> FORK Optn:Alex- Taco Shell Equipped
<> Change Hero's Walk Graphic : Alex->AlexCostumes1-5 Set
<>
<> END Case

And so forth.

That should do it!/

A big pile of n00bishness, that probably wont
come in use for anyone!
