Event Trivia - mark has won!

Last updated 01-03-2006

Hello there and welcome to Event Trivia sponsored by your all time favorites: Zeriab and blueXx!

We are looking for 10 fresh eventers!

This is a forum game like Clue know from the forum games section.
The rules might vary a bit with two organizer instead of one.
Our goal with this topic is to spread knowledge about events in a fun and challenging way.
Our events will be from RPG Maker XP. Most of these will be easy to implement in another version.
There might be a few which cannot be implemented in the same way on other versions. We will not check the events universal validity.


To illustrate the heart of the questions we find nothing better than an example:
A standard event has the event commands

You don't have to consider how it is triggered.
What does this event do?
Assuming Switch 1 is on: What is the output of the event?
How many outcomes does this event have?

Answer the questions separately.

========================

Winner:
-11 point - mark

out of the contest: (in order of removal)
1. -7 points - Tsunokiette (after 2 questions, Reason:  tech issues)
2. -12 points - Percifit Citate (after 2 questions, Reason: inactive)
3. -9 point - ahref (at question 3, Reason: not enough time)
4. -15 points - thatsmypie (at question 3, reason: inactive)
5. -17 points - Ramiro(after question 3, reason: inactive)
6. -17 points - inmoriam(after question 3, reason: inactive)
7. -22 points - HaloOfTheSun (after question 4, reason: not enough points)
8. -24 point - deadly_diablo (after question 4, reason: not enough points)
9. -25 point - GilgameshRO (after question 5, reason: not enough points)

Rules:
Be sure to answer the events within 24 hours starting from the time the events are posted.
Be also sure to read the rules, and remember to PM either me (Zeriab) or blueXx with your answer.
Don't reply to this pm. If you have questions post them instead in the Event Trivia.
Posting your answer in the topic itself will lead to disqualification.

The rules in the below post also apply.

Tip: Read the whole event and do what is requested.

[blueXx]

don't expect it to be too easy, there will be some hard events.

so if you think you are the best eventer around (excluding me and zeriab) then sign up and try it out.
we will start easy and it will get harder with each round.

each event will have a set period of time to answer, 24 hours should be enough i think and every round someone will lose
(time periods may change if the questions are hard)

to make it clear, the answer can be full or partly(partly as in you got some of the stuff we wanted to hear but not all)
if you answer it fully you get 1 good point
for every detail you miss you get 1 bad point
the person with the least points (starts at 0, bad is -1 good is +1) at each round will find themselves flying away (scores are kept if you massed up even once you might find yourselves struggling at the bottom)
there can be more than 1 person out at a time

good luck and good hunting

It is a conditional branch. If switch one is off a message comes up saying switch one is off. If it is on a message comes up saying switch one is on!

I didn't quite understand what you meant but thats what I think you meant  

[blueXx]

it was just an example, it's a too simple question.
i assume you want to sign up so you are the first player

list:
*edit the list is moved to zeriab's first post*

[thatsmypie]

Some people on this forum dont even know what a conditional branch is  
Mayby you should reduce the player limit because it is gonna be hard gettin 10 members from this site that know what a condition branch is.

[Zeriab]

Your answer would be considered as a partiel answer.
The reason for this is you answer some of the questions correctly, but not all.
When answering you should split up your answer and show which part of the answer belongs to which.

As an example it should also have had an answer with. A satisfactory answer to the example would be:

What does this event do?
It is a conditional branch.
If switch 1 is on a message comes up saying "Switch 1 is on!".
If switch 1 is not on a message comes up saying "Switch 1 is off!".

Assuming Switch 1 is on: What is the output of the event?
A message saying: "Switch 1 is on!"

How many outcomes does this event have?
It has 2 outcomes.

Note: This is not the answer. It's just a correct and full answer.

[Tsunokiette]

[Ramiro]

Luck everyone, let

[King Anesis]

Well good luck to you all. I am quite expecting some good results and wondering what all your skills are. And I want to see if my skills are worth it as well. Let's get this thing started.

[Zeriab]

The Event Trivia is starting with the first question.
Be sure to read the rules on page 1. They have been updated!
Remember: Posting your answer in this topic will lead to disqualification.

Now the first event will be posted below this line:
===================================

We will start out very simple. Too simple you may say.
It's a very easy test to get signed up you could say.
Trigger condition is not to be considered. Non-Common Event is assumed as standard.
Anyway design and post an event that when triggered will display a message saying: "I rule at eventing!".
Now when you've done that:
How do you make the message window invisible so that only the next message arrow and the text will show?

[GilgameshRO]

Can we just cover both with the same event? (Because I am lazy.)

Better question: Should we show how to make the message window invisible with an event, or do we have to write it out with words?

[Zeriab]

Yes, you can do both things in 1 event.
I recommend that you also write it out with words.
This is of no big deal right now, but latter this could be the difference between it being a partly or full answer.

[ahref]

i kinda broke my copy of rpg maker xp i can fix it but it will take awhile
