[XP] Taking Event System Requests

[noobywoob]

Howdy y'all! 
Sorry just always wanted to type that....Anyway, I'm trying to make a puzzle thingy with 1 door and 6 switches, only 2 of the switches have to be stepped on for the door to open, you go up to the door and if the wrong ones are stepped on, a mini boss battle occurs...Else right ones are stepped on and it transfers you.
But this is beginning to cheese me off, i mean i am one test run away from ripping out my hair!

Problems im having with this are: more than 2 switches can be stepped on before you go to the door, resetting the switches as if they were never stepped on after the battle.

There are a few more issues i think, but i cant concentrate right now. So if anyone has any suggestions, im all ears...in a manner of speaking.

here it is.hipe this helps: (just open it, and see how i've done it.)

[noobywoob]

Thanks, yeah that helps out a lot!

[DarkGamer]

cool.any question just ask it. That's the easier way to do it i think. Variables can be confusing to new ppl on the program =)

good luck

not trying to be a noob but is there any way you could make a quest where you have to kill 10 goblins and everytime u kill one it changes from 1/10 Goblins Killed to 2/10 Goblins Killed???

There is a good tutorial on youtube for that. Well, at least it looks like it. It is a quest where you need to gather muushrooms, not goblins. But I guess it works the same way. The tutorial is from WillowSidHe. It is called 'Mushroom Gathering Tutorial'. Just make a veriable increasement after each goblin that is killed. Like:
>Start the battle
>Conditional branch: Switch 'quest started' = on
  >Variable 'Goblins killed or something' += 1
>end

And make the guy that gives you the quest:

-first page-
>Message box: Kill 10 goblins for me.
>Variable 'Goblins killed or something' == 0
>Switch 'quest started' is on


-Second page (if switch 'quest started' == on)-
>Conditional Branch: if variable 'Goblins kiled or something' >= 10
  >Message box: You killed them all!
  >Give reqard
  >Switch 'quest completed' = on
>else
  >Message box: You killed \v[number of variable 'Goblins killed or something'] goblins.
  >Message box: That isn't enough
>end


-Third page (if switch 'quest started' == on AND if switch 'quest completed' == on)-
>Message box: Thank you for killing the goblins!

But, I think the tutorial on youtube is way more clear.

Can you make me a jump system, please?
...and if it's not too much trouble, maybe you could make an item/money storage-and-retrieval one.

[Grafikal]

Search our forum for a jump system, there's like 2 around here. Same with money storage. You can't make an item storage event system. (Theoretically you could, but it's so god damn complex that you can't just build it and expect an easy share.)

[Miriku]

Okay...on the storage systems, you're right. The jump systems, however, the download links to the coding seem to lead to 404s.

[Kokowam]

I can work on it. I'll try and make one that's decent. Like everything I make, it's going to probably work but be horribly inefficient. That sometimes leads to it not working, though, lol. Just wait a bit.

EDIT: Wait, RMVX, or RMXP? It's the same thing for eventing, but you might not have one of the programs so you might not be able to open it up if I did it in one.

[Miriku]

RMXP. Sorry for the confusion. If it doesn't work, I'll tell you. Don't worry, I trust you!

[stripe103]

Is it possible to make a system that creates an event in front of the player automaticlly, unless there is something in the way? Like a Fire Making system.

[Grafikal]

What? Just call an event in front of the player. Track the player's position via variables, then move an event in front of the player by using those variables +1 to where the player is facing. What do you mean by firemaking system? Like making a fire anywhere on the map at anytime?

[stripe103]

What do you mean by firemaking system? Like making a fire anywhere on the map at anytime?

Yea, that's exactly what I mean

[stripe103]

Bumpedibumpbump!

I really need this. At least tell me like if I need a script or something for it.

[modern algebra]

grafikal told you how to do it though. You can set an event position by variables, so whenever you want the fire to be made, all you have to do is use Control Variable and get the X and Y position of the player. Add or subtract one from whichever of those variables depending on direction. Then use the Set Event Position to call the event to that location.

[Mjustin]

Here's a fire making system. It's not all that plug-and-play, but it should give you something you can expand upon and polish. You can light a fire anywhere you can walk, as well as campfires. To light a fire, press Z. You have to go up to your fire and put it out before you can light a new one. Your objective in the demo is to light the correct campfire in three different rooms. If you light the right fire, you move on. If you're wrong, you start over.

[stripe103]

Well,  guess it would work. *sigh* I'll try to explain even better. I have a item just called "wood" and for as long as the player have that item in possesion, he/she will be able to make a fire anywhere and how many as he/she want. But I guess that isn't possible. The ideal would be to make one event and then have it copied.

[Mjustin]

You could make it so it switches between a bunch of different events. That would be extremely complicated, though, and would probably lead to a lot of event lag.

[Grafikal]

The ideal would be to make one event and then have it copied.

what?

how long does the 'wood' last? Because all you need to do is A: What MJustin and like everyone else told you to do, and B: Include a variable to track how many times you've used the 'wood' to make fires and when that variable reaches a specific number, have all the wood from your inventory removed, or remove 1 wood or something. Easy.

[Kokowam]

If you want to make an infinite number of events with fire wherever you want to and whenever, it's really inefficient as you're going to need tons of events everywhere.

I feel bad for never getting back to that guy on the Jump System because I rarely look at these boards... >_>

[DarkGamer]

well, i think this is what you where looking for stripe...Just take a look...

"fle attached"

[stripe103]

That will work. Thank you!

<Dongeon-RPG Event system>



Summary
Hello. What i want is a dongeon-RPG event system .If you do not know what a dongeon-RPG is but still want to help (That's nice O_O ) look up the features,if you aren't sure take a look at videos about azure dreams or pokemon mistery donjons. Actually i asked first in script but a memeber told me it was an event matter... it's still out of my reach

Features Desired

• Work like an A-RPG
• Every time your character make a step or use an attack or an object it let the ennemys do same
• If you do not move,noone will.
• still have levels,experience and equipement
• powers can be used with some effects (1)
• you can have a partner following you and ai-fighting in your team
• You can assign tactics to your partner,changing his behaviour in the donjon(1)

(1)=If it's really too hard i can do without

Mockups


Games its been in

• Azure dreams
• Pokemon mystery dongeon serie

Infinites thanks for the one who may help me on this one.

mystery dongeon video :

I hope i'm not necroposting since the post is sticky... i don't know... well tell me

[Kidfox70]

I've watched the video and I've read your other post. I really think most if not all can be done with Eventing. At the same time, it could be done with scripts. But in my opinion, I believe the person, at least in the video, did both. Alot of that isn't hard if you know what you're doing. You have to be creative in the way you do things. The game from the video is just that, a game. Some one worked hard and long on it, and most likely it isn't some thing you can copy and paste. You'd have to take one thing at a time and really have a direction for where you're going. Which is why the game in the video works as while as it does. But again, I've seen alot of those things done by eventing. Take the mini map for instance, that is actually here on this site. Or at least something like it. The menus could be make using eventing, and called by common events. Again something you can do and search for here on this site. The battleing can easly be done with scrpiting (if you know what you're doing) and events. Though Eventing that could cause alot of lag. The two ABS scripts given to you on the other post are two really good scripts, check them. The same RPG elements can still be applyed. I hope I helped somewhat, I mean the game in the video took alot of time and work. 

**EDIT**
Also, taking a look at what you have listed

Features Desired

These can al be doen using Eventing. Easy.   
Maybe you should try to request little things. So people can help you with them. That way no one s over whelmed over anything...haha.

[Tashiki]

well for the fight itself ok even i can do it trough events the big problem is about it behaving like a dongeon RPG (turn based, each step take a turn and all that :/ )
