[Solved] Encounter Repellant Item

Anyone know how to make a consumable item that repels random encounters like that of most poke'mon games.

It's a script, btw.

Could I use this script to be a temporary repel item?
If so do I paste : UEP_CONTROL_VARIABLE_ID in the notes box?
But then how would I make it last x number of steps?

I don't fully understand.

Just make the item trigger a switch, which triggers a common event that tracks the amount of steps in one variable, then see if that variable reaches that variable + x. Once that's over, you can just turn the switch back off. Figure out the rest.

Do an item linked with a common event...

I used a common event with a timer. When the timer runs out, the switch for the item turns off. How ever, when I attempt to use the item on the actor it makes that buzzing noise. Do I need to attach a hp + or something?

No, just change the scope of the item.

It works perfectly!  thnks cozzie and others.
