did you do an 'Erase Event'?

[haloOfTheSun]

You can't do an Erase Event in 2003.

First problem use an switch, at the last part of the command line make a switch and assign a name, then make a second page and under the conditions set the switch for it.

To make events immdietaly happen use either of these two,

Auto-Start: The event starts as soon as you enter the map and it prevents other events from moving or carrying out any commands.

Parallel Process: The event starts as soon as you enter the map and it allows other events to move or carry out any commands.

switches would probally be the best thing, (sorry guy above me who just said that, but i want to say it too)

PAGE 1*Action Key*
"what ever events you whont"
~Turn Swicth X on

PAGE 2*Auto Start/Parallel Process*
~Change event X (grandpa) to X (dead image of him)
~Tint screen (all black or white)
~Wait X
~Change event X (grandpa) to X (Empty image, a good one to use is the tile set bit at the top left)
~Tint screen (back to what it was)
~Turn Switch X on

PAGE 3*Parallel Process*
"Empty"

i just did one like that and it worked fine.
