How to Make an RPG Overworld
An RPG overworld is the map or background of an RPG project. It can often scroll with the main character's movement to allow the viewer to travel among a rather large world. Other objects such as enemies in the world need to therefore have positions relative to the scroll of the background. The player's perspective is looking down at the character, rather than the player looking at the character from the side. Шаблон:Note

Enemies in an RPG often move to bring more excitement and challenge to the game. An enemy who remains still may not be as difficult to defeat as one who moves.

The first step is to create the enemy sprites, which can be drawn in the paint editor or imported. Enemies may have movement that differs from one another. To generate random movement in the over world, the following script can be used or relate to one's needs:
Create a variable named "battle". When the battle starts, this will keep the battle from repeating over and over again. Lastly, use these scripts:
