Preventing add hero() From Changing Walkabout Sprite

[kylekrack]

I have an overworld map that changes my hero's walkabout sprite to a smaller version. I used replace walkabout sprite on the overworld's autorun to do this, and I notice that adding a hero causes the walkabout sprite to revert to the default. The same hero is still the leader of the party, and caterpillar mode is disabled. Is there a simple way to prevent this from happening?

Furthermore, is using replace walkabout sprite on a map's autorun script the most effective way of temporarily altering the leader's walkabout sprite? I do not plan on allowing the player to change the order of the heroes in the party, if that makes a difference.

You could re-apply the "replace walkabout sprite" command again right after the "add hero"

But what I think would be easiest is to use the "set hero picture" command. It is not slice based, and is specifically for changing hero picture in a way that persists until you do "set hero picture" again to change it back.

Oh, that's much easier. That totally slipped my mind. Although at this point I've already worked out all the issues, so it may not be worth going back and changing it all. I'll have to remember that one though, for some reason I always forget it exists.
