Switches Question....

[Vonwert]

Ok, those cursed switches.....

Shouldn't an auto event on mode 2 that has the switch 1 triggering the event work?

It works with variables. But I can't seem to get switches to work. And I can't get the other trick of using an invisible event in front of the switch to work either.

Any help?

Yeah, those switches...

For what it's worth, here's something about the order in which they're triggered.

Also, check out this post from Obright's game forum. He has some other valuable info regarding switches.

I got it to work. Whoosh....

I just had to make multiple auto events, instead of using one even with multiple modes. It works.

Thank god.

Re: Switches Question....

So, an Auto Event can have its other modes triggered by variables, even if it's not on the activated mode?

Re: Switches Question....

Yes. I have a campfire scene that occurs when you have collected 6 pieces of wood. When you do, an auto event on the third mode begins.

But you have to use seperate auto events for switches. For some stupid reason it doesn't work like it does with variables.

When you do, an auto event on the third mode begins.

News to me.

Re: Switches Question....

That seems really strange that a mode that isn't currently in use runs its auto event like that.

Re: Switches Question....

My suggestion: never use switches. I've never had a problem with switches due to not using them.

Re: Switches Question....

I should clarify myself.

It won't activate on its own. You need to modify to that mode.

But using variable branches and changing modes, it all works out.



I am using the same technique on a couple puzzles.

Re: Switches Question....

Do you have any uploaded games Vonwert? I think I would like to see this campfire puzzel. Of course it will take me a while for me to convince my sister to drive me to gamestop or target...

Re: Switches Question....

I only have one RPGM3 game uploaded so far. "Whispers in the Woods".

I am working on "Siren's Reef" now.
