My god....read many more tutorials.

1. Switches.
2. System tab in database.
3. What the fuck do you think the show picture command is for?
4. Set Move Route -> Random

1.  Either use the erase event, or make a new page and use a self switch. ( I believe.. But I'm also not too sure.)

2. Resources -> Import the title screen you want to use.  Database -> System, than change the Title Graphic drop down to whatever the new title screen is. 

3. I know it's possible, I'm just unsure of how to.  I'd search the tutorials forum, I'm sure you'll find something.

4.  No clue.


Sorry if I was no help.

1: you could problebly set it to auto start and then use the local switch to make it go away.

2:the title screen can be changed through the database...

3:i know u can enter pics but only 2k3 i think can use movies unless someone else knows how too...

4:ummm mobs? alot or ppl you crate a bunch of events and set them on random movement...


if you dont understand any of this or very little it might help to look at some tuts...

lol its a what darklord said but longer...

[Jalkson]

Make an event and put the graphics for the mob.

I guess he's learned fast but only the extreme basics. It took me quite a while. T_T And I still suck >_>

ok i changed it so have an even (just displaying some text) on autorun... in the end of the event i added "erase event" but still if i go to another map and goes back the event starts again... what do i do wrong?

Use a switch instead of erase event. Plus it will work if you do the 4 events surrounding thing. One switch. Hunt down Zeriab's signature if you don't understand them.

You need a script for displaying movies.
Unfortunately the only script I've seen is not very stable and is more trouble than it's worth.

I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND THE DAMN SWITCHES!!!
here is what i did:

page1:
@>text: my text that i dont want to loop
@>control self switch: A=ON

page2:  (conditions i set self switch A to on)
@>text: more text i dont want to be repeated
@>control self switch: A=OFF

and both page 1 and 2 are set to "autorun"
but it gets repeated... what do i do wrong?

[modern algebra]

Well, it is on autorun. Basically what you are doing is having the first page run, then you are activating the second page, then you are re-activating the first page. A simple solution would be to set another self-switch B ON instead of turning A OFF. Then make a 3rd page which is conditioned on Self-Switch B, and have it be an Action Key which has nothing in it.

THANKS! ! it worked!
