Title: How to make a Tresure Chest (Screenies)
Post by: :) on February 11, 2007, 08:28:46 PM
In this tut, we will set up a good looking/working Treasure chest that will give the actor +100 gold.

First create a new event where you want the chest to be by right clicking on the map in event layer and clicking "new event"
Now double click the right where it says "graphic" and find a CLOSED chest picture.

1-Event layer
2-Where I clicked to make the event
3-Event graphic

Next double click on the right open white spot. Then staying on page one, find "Change gold" command and click on it. Then set it to increase and change it to 100

The X on the image is where to double click

Now again double anywhere in the box under your add gold command, and again on page one click "control self switch" and set it to turn self switch A - on.

Now go to the top of the event page and click "add new event page" oon the new page, again click on the grapic box, this time selecting a picture of the OPEN CHEST. also go down to the bottom of the event page and click "Parallel process" now at the top of the event page above the grapic, select the box for self switch and make sure its A. Now leave the right side empty and your done!

Maybe you could edit and add the graphic changing thingy to make it animated to satisfy the perfectionists?

In 2k3 i used:
Code: [Select]
<>Branch if This Event Down Facing
 <>Move Event: This Event, Turn 90" Left, Turn 90" Left, Turn 90" Left
 <>Change Money: 100 Add
 <>
: Else Handler
 <>Message: It's empty.
 <>
: End
<>
In XP i used:
Code: [Select]
@>Conditional Branch: Self Switch A == Off
  @>Set Move Route: This Event
   :              : $>Change Speed: 1
   :              : $>Turn 90 Right
   :              : $>Turn 90 Right
   :              : $>Turn 90 Right
  @>Control Self Switch: A =On
  @> Change Gold: + 100
  @>
 : Else
  @>Text: It's Empty.
  @>
 : Branch End

Wouldn't the thing change if you moved out/back into a screen?

Switches do the magic. You just can't use the same one for multiple chests. Unless you cheat with variables.

Ok, one thing Nouman, you forgot to take off "Move Animation", if you keep it on, it'll move thought the animations. 

Oh, it's the pictures.

Nice. No more talk about that because this is about your tut. This is good. Maybe you should add a side-tut where it teaches them about move events/change self-graphic so that it opens up?
Title: Re: How to make a Tresure Chest (Screenies)
Post by: :) on April 09, 2007, 10:10:58 PM
good idea. I will try and re-make this whole baby this month when I get time.

When Nouman made this I made mine at the same exact time. Mine had animation to it so the chest actually opened. I'm not sure if I deleted that thread or not though.

Edit: I can't find it. Nevermind. :(

Oh! Also, upload demo, maybe. Kind of retarded, but if anyone has troubles, they can refer to it. And so sad that it's gone.

no problem, sorry for it being so darn simple xD I never got around to make the advanced more detailed one.

Simple is good. Don't teach anymore than this and let them learn the other ways of doing things and such. :V
