This tutorial will teach you how to create two NPCs, and have them talk to each other and do other actions. It is based off a scene from the modification "Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes."

Temporal Flux Tutorial Disclaimer

This tutorial involves Temporal Flux. Since these tutorials are not meant to augment your game, you should make a copy of your Chrono Trigger ROM for use with these instructions. This not only backs it up, but will prevent you from unnecessarily changing and overwriting your clean copy, which you probably want to still play time to time, no?

In this tutorial, you will use and learn the basic, following skills and commands:

  • Creating an NPC
  • Making an NPC face a certain way
  • Using NPC animations
  • Correctly structuring conversations and actions
  • Moving NPCs and making them disappear
  • Preventing the party from leaving the scene in progress

Getting Started

As stated above, this tutorial is based off a scene from Crimson Echoes. Specifically, we're going to have Bandeau, the ferryman who appeared at the end of Chrono Trigger, argue with the new Medina elder, a Blue Imp. After a couple animations and appeals, Bandeau will storm out, while the Blue Imp will go to the window to gaze and ponder the turn of events.
