How do you...?

[LunarWingCloud]

I want to know how to make a boss be playable, then able to be rechallenged when a certain time is reached, like in Pokemon Pearl with the rival battle in the Fight Area, and other games I can't quite remember right now. How exactly can I do this efficiently and easily?

Make them a character. Have them join your party (and remove everyone else) for the playable segment, then when they leave, you can fight them again!

I don't want them as a team member, though. Like if you fight them in the morning, can I make an event that sets them to turn on the next?

What? I don't really understand your question. Do you mean make it so they "respawn?"

Do you want to be able to fight them whenever you please or something?

Try something like this:

Mode 1:
The Fight
Transition to Mode 2

Mode 2:
Wait for a day to pass (i'm sure you can figure this part out)
Transition to Mode 1

That might work... maybe...

OR make one event/model/character that you place in a town/dungeon/map who you fight: "The Boss"

Then, make a second/third/etc event/model/character that shares the same model (ie:gladiator, color 2) as the first, but place this one in a seperate location, so that the player will run into and fight the first model, then later in the game fight the second/third/etc.

You could also just make the one character, and AFTER you fight the character, increase his/her/its stats. Then have invisible events trigger the battles so that you only need "waste" one of your 100 total possible characters to pull this off.
