From Spheriki

Creates a new person.

Contents 1 Usage 2 Examples 3 Notes 4 See also

Usage

• name string. The name to be given to the new person.
• spriteset_filename string. The path to the Sphere spriteset file for the person.
• destroy_with_map boolean. If true, the person will be unloaded if the map changes.

Examples

CreatePerson("aegis", "aegis.rss", false);
AttachInput("aegis");
AttachCamera("aegis");
MapEngine("field.rmp", 60);

This is the same example from MapEngine(). Note the first line. It means, "Create a new person named 'aegis', using the spriteset 'aegis.rss'. When the map changes, don't destroy this person."

Notes

• This function is traditionally used to create people that persist between maps (i.e. destroy_with_map = false), but it makes map-bound people at runtime possible too.

• For people who appear mostly in the same map, consider laying down persons using the Sphere IDE's map editor instead.

• If the mapengine is running, the created person is created on top of the entry point. If this is a problem, you can resize the map, place the entrypoint on that new part of the map, then downsize the map back.
