Title: [RESOLVED] changing diffrent map events?
Post by: mitoz on August 25, 2007, 02:59:21 AM
hey everyone i am using rpg maker xp legal.

I am trying to make it so that if an event happens on a certain map then the event on a diffrent map changes.
can someone post a tutorial for me.(prefer picture tutorial but you dont have too.)

also heres an example:
main character talks to event1 on map1 then a event on map2 changes.

sorry if this is not very descriptive but i didn't really know how to explain it.

mmmm - I did a quick writeup, then figured it was so easy that it'd only take a minute to get the pics for you too.

Here you go:

First, set an Action Button event on map1 for event1, have whatever dialogue you want, then set a switch ON (not a self switch).

Then, create TWO pages for the event on the other map.  The first page will be whatever happens if the player has NOT spoken to event1 on map1.  The second page will be what happens if the player HAS spoken to event1 on map1.  Use the same switch that you set in that original event, to condition the second event page.

Note, this will work whether the two events are on the same map or totally different maps.

The way shaz posted works.
My guess is that you forgot to set the Graphic on the second page. Check if you have done that.

lol - thanks Zeriab - I did forget to specify that you have to add the graphic to each page.  Believe me, been there, done that - it's a bit confusing when you forget :)

mitoz, you're welcome.
