Another tip for using less charcters

[ezz1692]

Imagine you have to release prisoners from cells. An entire army. You would use up more than half of our NPCs. But there's another way.
You create a town, with 10 dungeon entrances (that would reach the maximum of events in the town: 20. Inside ONE dungeon, put as many people as you like. Outside ALL dungeons, put an event that, at button press, asks you if you want to go in (like it would ask you narmally). If you say yes, warp into the populated dungeon. Another one for the exit (explained on next post). Have all soldiers tell you "Hey, thanks for saving me" or something like that. Then display off. When you use the event to go out, make them display on again. That way, you would be entering 10 dungeons, saving 20-30 soldiers, using only 2-3.
PS. having a battle event in the dungeons would make it more interesting.

When you use an event to enter dungeon 1, switch the exit event to mode 1. Make mode 1 warp you exactly outside dungeon 1. When you enter dungeon 2, change to mode to to warp you exactly outside...

Or you could put an event that triggers before you get a good look inside the cell, and have it put a storyteller mode up. That way you don't have to use any ncps.

Hey! Hadn't thought of that! Good idea!
But it would look better with the NPCs. I mean, the player moving to rescuing them, opening the cell and talking to them makes the player participate more in it.

Can a town have dungeon enterances?

Re: Another tip for using less charcters

Dungeon entrances in towns are prisoner cells, not dungeons like caves and mazes. They are in events/ buildings/ normal houses.
