How to add your own Power Ranger outfit to your character.

Its very simple. Just get a 23x36 canvas and draw your character wearing a Power Ranger suit at 1x pixel scale. You have full creativity over the design, it can be based on an existing Sentai or Power Rangers suit or it can be something completely of your own design. You can draw them with the helmet on or off.

The best way to make sure it looks like a Power Ranger suit is for it to be predominantly one colour with additional colours used to accent the design and for it to feature a belt (for most designs anyway). The helmet can be used to accent the design or you can draw it helmetless. If your character is female, female rangers usually wear skirts as part of the suits but not always, the Yellow Mighty Morphin and Green Dino Fury ranger for instance don't wear skirts. Non binary characters can be either or.

If you want some examples of different Power Ranger suit designs I have made sprites of every single Red Ranger that has been part of the series before, some of which cover themes which may be suitable like time travel, dinosaurs, ninjas, cars, magic, police, space and more.

Once you have drawn your design, save it in your character's files. Then go into init.gml and add the following line of code:

power_ranger_suit = sprite_get("your_sprite");

Where you can change "your sprite" to the name of the sprite you saved.

Finally go into load.gml and set the sprite_change_offset as follows:

sprite_change_offset("your_sprite", 11, 34);

Load up the stage with your character in it and the monitor should now display your image.

For characters whose size exceeds the standard canvas template it is recommended to make a helmeted design to not worry about the head being too big. There are several characters in Super Sentai and Power Rangers who change their shape significantly to fit in the suit.

Have fun, I look forward to seeing what suit designs people come up with.
