Now you can add your own character's messages and pictures! All you gotta do is:


Add these in your character's init.gml: (you can only put one message and 1 pic for now)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

bbc_msg = "The amount of message is about this long so please do not go
beyond this length with each line please. I hope you understand."

bbc_pic = sprite_get("bbc_pic")

-------------------------------------------------------------------

bbc_pic is optional and sprite name can be anything you want. You just need bbc_pic variable. (If you plan to add a unique pic)
Make sure the sprite size is 102x72 for the sprite (not extracted by x2 size)
If you don't add that it will use the charselect instead.

Also you can use animated strips for your bbc_pic if you like to.

If you want to force your special message to show in the stage, simply add this in your character's update.gml:
(it's better if you have no other characters in the stage and being player 1. The below code is purely for testing purposes only.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

with obj_stage_main{ special_news = true } // REMOVE THE CODE WHEN YOU'RE DONE

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Please remove the above code when you're done with it. So it doesn't break the stage's message system.

this code's purpose is that you force the stage to show your message always:
with obj_stage_main{ special_news = true } <--- this whole line i mean.
as i said, it's for testing purposes only. normally you shouldn't add it
