Can anyone help me with a few things?

[Haitoku No Honoo]

Well, I've had a lot of work and school since the RPG Maker 3 release, and I've had little time to actually dive into storytelling and events. So far, i've just been working on making my Classes, skills, people, items and few monters.

Anyways, I've finaly started working on the actual towns/fields/dugeons and events... I have a few questions.

1. Is it possible to make a set of events only repeat after exiting and re-entering the area? I have an NPC telling the player information, four different sets of dialogue every time the PC talks to him. After the last three dialogues, the fourth keeps repeating. I would like it to reset after entering the area... But I don't want it to keep looping every time you talk to the NPC... Right now i'm using the format: Messege > Change Event Mode # > End Event, etc, etc

2. Anyway to get the NPC to look in different directions while a during an event?

3. Do changes made to characters during the the game stay if that character is removed from the game and placed back at a later time. For example, PC has 10 STR , he gains 5 STR through a certain event... He is removed, will he still have the added STR when I place him back? I remember in RPGM1 they would keep all changes when removed from play.

Thanks in advance.

1. I think an Invisible autoevent that has a flag/variable that the NPC checks to see which dialouge to use would work. This should trigger everytime the player enters the town. Though I dunno what happens if he goes into a house and out of it. (will it trigger the autoevent?)

2. The rotate command on event codes. It has options on which char to rotate, angle, counter/clockwise.

3. Probably stays. Easy way is to just test it real quick.

luckily; it stays. I have character switches all over the game, so I had to test this myself.

Just use a variable control branch like this:

Var. Control Branch: Internal variable 1 (the NPC)
Option one: Variable=0
display first set of dialouge
internal variable one=1
Option two: Variable=1
display second set of dialouge
internal variable one=2
Option three: Variable=2
display third set of dialouge
internal variable one=3
Option four: Variable=3
display fourth set of dialouge

then, when you re-enter town, have an invisible event that does this:
Internal Variable one (the NPC again)=0
if you want it to happen every time he enters a house/inn/etc., just copy the event in front of each of the doors.
