Title: [RESOLVED] Could use some help here please.
Post by: Duelpro on June 23, 2007, 06:21:38 PM
I want to make a puzzle that requires the player to activate 4 different switches in
the right order to make a door open. I just need to know list of event contents needed plz.

well your going to need switches or a variable.
which one do you want?

for a variable you only need one.

and then a few conditional branches.

if variable = 1
control variable +1
Else:
Message: Wrong switch.

ugh.......which version is this for? 2000,2003,XP?

No one uses 2k, I think, because 2k3 is a better version of it. And I also think XP and 2k3 have pretty much the same eventing stuff.

Variables really are quite easy to use, and make this problem very simple indeed. If you arn't comfortable with them, I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with them ASAP, as they are useful in a wide variety of situations.

Try this tutorial, it helped me =) http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,14159.0.html

Give that a read, and if your still stuck, post back and Ill get you a screenie of how to do it with variables.

My god, SUCH A GREAT TUTORIAL! I learned a lot about variables.

TY TY TY TY TY!

But, how do I use these to make a switch puzzle?

Ok, heres what the first switch you have to hit should look like. For the second, just change the conditional branch requirement to "Variable XXX = 1", for the third, "variable XXX =2" and for the fourth "variable XXX = 3". other than that, all the events are identical! Then the last one can open a door, or whatever. Hope this helps!

There is something you can do. What you do is you get good at RMXP or any maker and help out the people on these forums when you can. ;D It's the gift that keeps on giving until it can't give no more.
