Title: Chest open
Post by: Solundor on April 22, 2010, 09:53:02 AM

I can't remember how to make the Chest open
the only thing I can think is to use self switch for each opening sprite
can one one help?

You need to make it turn.
Try choosing a chest as your hero. (the one you can see on the map)
That way you can easily derive how to move the chest with a Set Move Route to animate it opening.
I believe you will also remember it better than if I just give you the solution.

*hugs*

Man i just did 18 events all with self switches and all with different sprites,
I'm going to leave it, unless you can tell me your way is better and why
but thank you for the response

HAHAHA 18 EVENTS?! that's the most retarded way I've ever heard.

Zeriab told you the basics. He's not into telling you the answer, he's into helping you find it for yourself so that it sinks in more.

But unfortunately he is gone, and since you're doing it just a dumb way, then I will tell you how.

ONE EVENT.

Make an event for your chest.
Make it 2 pages.
On the SECOND PAGE, turn on one of the conditions as a self switch (which ever letter you want, I use 'A' first.)
Back on the 1st page, make the event player activated.
In the event commands you only need 2 things. A movement command and a selfswitch trigger.

Movement:
   Face LEFT
   Wait: 5 Frames
   Face RIGHT
   Wait: 5 Frames
SelfSwitch A: ON

On your second page of the event, make sure that it's set to PARALLEL PROCESS. Make sure that the graphic for the second page is set as the chest that you want to open at COMPLETELY OPEN. (The last frame of the open chest.)

Now in the event commands, place whatever you need in there. The chest is open now. To end the second page, either end the event commands with a SelfSwitch A: OFF, or SelfSwitch B: ON and create new page that is the chest open and empty, or Exit Event Processing.

There you go. 1 event and maybe 4 different commands. Easier.

But if you still think making 18 different events to do this same thing is easier for you, then have fun, cause it's probably going to be similar to taking it up the butt for the first time...every time.

I think he meant that he made 18 chest events, not that he used 18 events to make one chest :P

Yes I made 18 chest events each with 5 pages long
so if I keep my chest events the way they are it will lag up the game?
If it doesn't I will just Keep Them

EDIT....................................

I tried it your way but it doesn't work with what I'm trying to do
what im doing is this

haha, well you only need 3 pages then. and if what i said didn't work for you, then you didn't do it right.

Condition: IF [Master Key] in inventory
Text: Do you wish to use the master key on this chest?
Choices:
Yes
Change Items [Master Key] -1
SOUND EFFECT
MoveCommand
Face LEFT
Wait: 5 Frames
Face RIGHT
Wait: 5 Frames
SelfSwitch A = ON
No
>
Else: N/A

2nd:

(If selfswitch A is ON)
(Make sure Parallel Process is checked)
(Event graphic as fully open chest)

Change Item [Your new shit] +1
SOUND EFFECT (item get!)
Text
You just received a new item.
SelfSwitch B = ON

3rd:
(If selfswitch B is ON)
(Make sure Action Button is checked)
(Event graphic as closed or fully open chest)

Text

You might have direction fix on or something. Your graphic will constantly face the same direction, so in the movement commands, turn that stuff off, then turn it back on when it's done.
