Multiple Character Switching

edited January 26 in Technical Q&A

Hi everyone!

Hope you are doing well -- for my next game, I'm exploring a couple of engines (AGS, Adventure Creator, etc.) to handle character switching. I know that AC does have character switching, but is it possible to do something like Gemini Rue, where people can switch between multiple characters and their scenes at the click of a button?

I'm hoping to do this for 3 characters (not 2), hence why I was curious to know if AC can handle this, but here's an example of what I mean!
Also, would I have to do anything special for the save system when I handle this?

Any help is appreciated, thank you! :)

  • Yes - if you define multiple Player prefabs in the Settings Manager, you can use the Player: Switch Action to switch character. AC will handle any necessary scene-changes automatically.

    AC will also keep track of each Player's scene and position for you - no need to deal with that manually for saving.

    A tutorial and video on AC's player-switching feature can be found here.

  • Awesome, thank you so much! :)
