What do i do in order to...

What should i do to make events for:
An enemy encounter (As in a set encounter, not a random one)
A message to say that something is unlocked

I am TERRIBLE with events and may be asking more questions in the future.
Also, I'm not sure if this should go here or scripting

Scripting is for actual scripts written in RGSS used in the script editor of rpg maker.

I suggest you look at some beginner eventing tutorials to familiarize yourself with some of the basic commands. It will make things a lot easier for you.

As for your questions, there is a command in the eventing list that allows you manually bring up an encounter. Exactly where it is depends on the maker you're using, but in VX Ace, it's at the top of the third page called "Battle Processing".

"Show Text" will be the first command on the first page of event commands.

Both are eventable and both can be done using nothing more than a couple of switches, self-switches and variables. Though, it depends on your eventing style so you can also use Timer instead of variables.


I need more info on how and what you want to do, otherwise I'll be showing you how to make an encounter but it might not be what you are looking for. And if you don't have any experience using events, I can tell you pretty much exactly what most things do.

I can PM all info if you like
