Noob who needs help

[KaoZ]

Hey,
I just recently got RPG maker 2003, I've noticed alot of people seem to be discussing an xp version witch im not sure were to get(haven't looked much either) but my main question lies in the purposes of switches, I somewhat got the concept of the fact that they put certain events in motion but otherwise im lost as to how they remotly function. i've searched a little and come up with the variable tutorial, but i believe before i can understand those i should understand switches. for example, this may be a very simple thing to do, but i am like the title says a noob: when i talk to a person and whatever he says is over, how can i(when i talk to him again)make sure he doesent just repeat the hole conversation all over again. I believe this might involve switches, and seeing as im a noob i would like to learn it regardless, if someone knows a nice site that explains it, or anything in general let me know, the "help" manual provided with the program just gives me a headache. aany help would be appreciated, thank you

You can get the legal version of RMXP for a 30 day trial at Download.com and then buy it for $60 thereafter.

Or you can download the free Postality Knights here at Crankeye by going to the main site...www.crankeye.com...look under downloads and it should be the first option available.

As far as helping you with RPG Maker 2003, I don't know because I don't use the program...only XP.

ok. You go to the event. add the message. Then find "Switch Option", and name it Manmsg2 or something. Then in that same event, make another page. Then to the top right, you notice 3 grayed out boces. Check mark one of them, and click on Manmsg2. Then, do whatever you want in the event. He wont repeat himself. "Hey how are you today hero?" (switch takes effect) "I thought I saw a chest somewhere...oh well. See you some other time!" boom, thats how to do it. If it is confusing, find a tut on it.
