Why Did I write this?
=================================================================================================
This question sound pretty stupid but the reason I am answering this is because I read
"Death Force's quick and easy guide to making clouds" and it didn't work right. BUUUT it did lead me to a much better cloud animation. I'm not trying to insult him but he probably didn't wanna sit there for another 5 hours like I did struggueling to get it to work. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be writing this so THANKS DARK FORCE!!!
=================================================================================================
What Has To Be Done
=================================================================================================
Whenever there is something I don't tell you to do just leave that as default.
1. ) Make an event on the map that you want to have cloud's on.
2. ) Set the event to paralell process
3. ) Now create a cycle
4. ) Before the cycle insert a show picture commandwith these commands:
Picture Number:1
Select Picture:Morning1
X coordinate :0
Y coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
5. ) Also before the cycle make another command Move Picture:
Picture Number:1
X Coordinate :320
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
Movement Time :300 (30 seconds)
Make sure to check the wait until done box!
6. ) Now inside the cycle have an ereae picture command and set it to erase picture 2
7. ) After the last command insert another move picture:
Picture Number:1
X Coordinate :640
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
Movement Time :300
Make sure to uncheck the wait until done box!
8. ) Now make another show picture command:
Picture Number:2
Select Picture:Morning1
X Coordinate :-320
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
9. ) Then make another Move Picture command:
Picture Number:2
X Coordinate :320
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
Movement Time :600(60 seconds)
Check the wait until done box this time
10.) Erase Picture 1
11.) Move Picture:
Picture Number:2
X Coordinate :640
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
Movement Time :300
Uncheck the wait until done box
12.) Show Picture:
Picture Number:1
Select Picture:Morning1
X Coordinate :-320
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
13.) LAST ONE... FINNALY HUH?
Move Picture:
Picture Number:1
X Coordinate :320
Y Coordinate :120
Transparency :50%
Movement Time :600
Check the wait until done box
=================================================================================================
What the finished product should look like
=================================================================================================

Troubleshooting
=================================================================================================
Well after you are done Test Play and go to the map which the event is on wait the 30 seconds and if it doesn't cycle correctly look over every thing and if that doesn't fix it e-mail me and I'll see if I can help you out.
