I am very new at this. I made alota ok maps (in my opinion) but I don't really have the feel of the triggers going on, if yah know what mean. I have a series of questions I need so I can get my RPG making groove on  :wink:

-How does the world map work?

-How can you work a party member switch (when you have more than 4)

-How do you add party members

-How do you take out party members

to add and change party members there is an event type called change Party and in there to add on use the Character you want to add, and select add to party, to remove select a character to remove and then select Remove from party that shoudl do those two

Thanks, but how do you activate a party member switch in the menu? Because all i see is a max of 4. I dont see room for other ones.

look up there in the sky, you'll see nice boxs called layers..
blue one is events layer, thats the only layer that allows you to "select the map"

as for over 4 members.. that's a script...

oooo... what?
lol no kidding
tell you what , make a common event link to the map, make the map unconsumable and only menu usable
when you click on the map use the show picture button and show a map (conditional branch so it will fit the map the hero is in) then do a para event on every map that removes the picture if they key (whateva) is pressed

Hey.  I have a script that gets you 5 party members, however the database won't allow you to have over 4 at the start so you need to use an event to add this 5th character [Figures <.<]
