Then go to Verge, then Tutorials, and you'll find a few there. But he's missing some of the most important ones(geared at newbies) done by aen, so you'll have to wait for tatsumi to release his zip full of articles that he said he'd make. Until then, you might be able to find something useful at the URL above.

soemwhere in the map.vc, it will say setplayer(0);
Since the ones map in Maped are given an index number before the ones made in vc, it makes your problem. So, instead of
setplayer(0); here's a longer/better way to do it.

In system.vc add this line:
int player_char;

and in the map.vc, change the entityspawn command to
player_char=entityspawn(...); // keep the x,y,charfile
then add:
setplayer(player_char);

ok, please tell me EVERYTHING that needs to be in my system.vc file and my test.vc file (map.vc). How do I make the entity, Greeter, talk when I hit enter?
