Title: Another issue...[RESOLVED]
Post by: Tye on January 27, 2007, 03:30:09 AM
Well, I want to make it so when my character goes somewhere else to do a quest or soemthing, he comes back to find a new person in aq place he's a;ready been. Like, for example, my character accepts a quest to go hunting a certain type of monster. When he defeats the monster, the person gives him a reward. when he goes back to the place to meet the person, a new person is in the place. Help?

use switches...after he kills the monster make an event and turn on switch ONE (or any open switch), if the new guy is re-placing the old one, go to the old guys event page, click add new event page at the top. Set the switch on the left to the same switch that will turn on after you killed the monster, make the image into a different person and WALA its a new person!

No, I mean, the other person is still there, but a new person is standing nearby.

By the way, how do you make an object have your player save?

ha, simple for the first one, instead of editing the ma's events, make a new event with the guys pic you want and set it to turn on with the switch you set to turn on after you kill the monster....and he will auto appear in the place after the switch is turned on..

also to make an object save is sorta hard and sorta not...Ill whip Up a demo for you in a bit.

here you go for the save point...I attached a demo...sorry I was sorta busy with a few other people needing help so the eventing isnt perfect but Im sure you can fix it. you have to hold up while touching the thing in the center then while holding UP press ESC to bring up the menu and now you can save...walk away from it and try esc and you cant save.  ;D

Yay! thank you so much.

But unfortunately, I have another problem. I have no idea on how to do the "Switch" thing... You think you could show me to a tutorial or tell me yourself? I really need help with that.

here I set up your switch events in case you need some visual help:

here is the monster:

and here is the guy's event

an easier way would be to have the monster give you an unuseable item after you beat it...then you set up the's event to show only when you have ____ in inventory...if you want to set it like this ask me

So, if the switch for the man is checked, then, once I talk to him, the monster will appear? Is that how it works?

no....set up your boss like how its set up on the first screenshot...then set up the guy how its in the second screenshot...the guy wont show..but when you beat the monster the guy will show wherever you placed the event at...
