Problem with an event ... please help :S

[jackass666]

:O_o:    Guys... I have a problem... I have made an event with an auto start, when the map loads, it starts... but when I leave this place and I come back again, It auto starts again !!!!  :x  so... plz help me...

( sorry for not searching but I didn't have time)

Simple... Make a switch!

Make another page in the event and use the switch operator.

So you have a auto start event for example with a message.

Like this

@Message: Hey, my autostart works!

add this

@Switch: 001: <name>

and use the same switch on the left side of ur event menu on the 2nd page.

Then you won't have the problem agian .

[jackass666]

the switch should be ON or OF ?

[Blizzard]

Let it be ON, if the autostart should work (something like: Autostart ON) and OFF if not. On the left side of the event window you have PRECONDITIONS. Just set this switch to be a precondition for your autostart event.

Ahh ok... I fixed it.... Something else... I've just created an event  with an Action Key trigger.... and I want it to be able only for one time... How can I do it?

[Blizzard]

When you start the game, you will have an intro, right? Add into the intro a switch and turn it ON. Now make in your event this switch as a precondition and as the last command add the OFF turning of this switch. The switch disables itself after being used once this way. A good way, not to get lost in your switches is to name them. When you have a hundred or two, you won

You can also set a Local Switch A = On when the event is done, then make a second even page with the condition Local Swith A and leaving the rest empty

Yeah, this is also a solution, but I prefer mine, coz I can manipulate events with other events that way more easily. Too many local switches would confuse me too much, but by using regular switches, I have a good overview.

When I choose whether I'll use a normal or a local switch I judge how important the event is.

Remember that local switches are not encapsulated. Don't know what that means? Forget it.

Guys, look... I've made an event with a hero as a graphic... When i talk to him... he gets into the party... after that, I want him to dissapear... you know... I want to switch the event completely Off.... H O W ??

[Blizzard]

Use Erase event command combined with switches, so he won

[jackass666]

i don't only want him not to join the party again ,,.. but I want him to dissapear COMPLETELY after talking to him... (I know... I;'m a n00b_) :oops:

[Blizzard]

Here. Make your event like this. He will disappear and NEVER come back again. Turn the switch you
