Event problem

[ezz1692]

Hello. I've got a problem
There's this maze in my game. It is an incredibly long maze. A reward at the end. How to enter? The'res a warp point in a house. How to exit? when you enter the maze, there's an auto- event.
Mode 1: Auto (named magician leaves)
Leave party: Magician
Join party:Miner
Modify mode: #2 Magician rejoiner
Modify mode: #2 Magician leaver
Mode 2 is empty.
You get out of the maze with a skill that a miner has enabling to escape the dungeon.

In the house, there was an invisible event, magician rejoiner, that has just been turned to mode 2. Mode 1 is empty.
Mode2: Auto
Join party: Magician
Leave party:Miner
Modify mode: #1 Magician leaver
Modify mode #1: Magician rejoiner

While playtesting, it says theres a loop.
Help please!
If it's confusing, tell me.

Ok...it's confusing.

...but I think if you just add a DISPLAY>DISPLAY-OFF event code to the event which keeps looping, it will fix the problem. If you want to change modes instead, make sure the blank mode is NOT set to 'auto'.

I want that each time I enter the maze, the miner enters and the magician dissappears, and viceversa when exitiong. If I display off, that'll only happen once.

If this doesn't help you, then take your time, and try your best to explain exactly what is happening. When is the loop happening, is it in the house, or in the dungeon?

There's no problem in RM3 that can't be remedied if you're patient...and I'll do the same to help you as best as I can.

Re: Event problem

Well, I think I get that the magician is the one who goes in the warper and the miner is in the maze.
Event Code of Warp Point in house
Keep only 1 mode.
Leave Party- Magician
Warp- Maze
Join Party- Miner
At exit, the warp or invisible event should have the following-
Event Code of Warp at end of Maze
Keep only 1 mode.
Leave Party- Miner
Warp- (Wherever)
Join Party- Magician
If that isn't what you needed help with, then I don't understand quite what your asking for.

Re: Event problem

You have to put the warp command last. Anything after the warp command will not run. Also, this SHOULD be fixing the loop problem, as well...hmm.

The 3 ways to stop loops:

- Display-OFF event code
- Switching mode to one set to 'button' or 'touch'
- Warping away from the event

I didn't know that.

Re: Event problem

Me neither...until I found it out the hard way...

There are actually other ways to stop a loop trap (V-C Branch, or Treasure requirement), but I thought it might be a good idea to stick to the basics at first. If you're still having trouble later, we'll go there.

The first event should: (in this order)
- Add character B
- Remove character A
- Warp to maze

Once you warp away, the event becomes null until you return to the house. It shouldn't matter, though...because this event shouldn't be set to 'auto' anyway...unless you set the warp destination from the maze to somewhere else. Otherwise you'll just warp back to the house and immediately warp back to the maze.

In the maze, the 2nd event should:
- Add character A
- Remove character B
- Warp back to house

You shouldn't set this as 'auto', or else you'll nullify the whole point of the maze, which is to get to the end. Once you've DONE that, the event can be set to 'touch' or 'button'.

Re: Event problem

Before the plan was of having the auto event in the room that makes the character change AND an warp point, but I think that the idea of having the event being also the warp point should work. I don't know what caused the loop yet, but I'll stick to this.

Thank you all.
