There are many ways to do this...I will tell you the simplest

auto-event

run storyteller
display off (the auto-event)
-----------------------------
Another way

auto-event

run storyteller
modify mode two
(have 2 modes have the 2nd mode have a condition of some insane variable)
--------------
There are a few more ways to do this but use one of these

Re: I need help with something! PLease Help

Just switch to mode 2, then do add variable + 1. You use one variable as a multiple switch. Just add to it, for each event.

Re: I need help with something! PLease Help

A variable is like a switch or can be used as a conditional



If dan has a blue shirt then dan has a shirt

If dan has a blue shirt then he definately has a shirt


If you make two modes for the auto event and put a variable of lets say 1000 for variable one. Then unless you've changed the variables number to 1000 then the auto event won't go off.

So if you make an

auto-event that changes mode to a conditional auto-event with a variable you never reach then it will never go off.

So choose an internal variable you're not going to use for a buidling/character
variable you're not going to use.

I'm guessing my game doesn't like me...i've been up trying to get it since 3a.m this morning >.<; well i guess i'll just keep at it till i get it right.

Fine...I'm going to slowly walk you through it step by step

Set your starting point in the house with the event
In set it to invisible - next set it to auto-event
now add a mode +(now you should have two modes)
By using the arrows you should be able to switch between modes one and two, make sure your in mode one.
Go to edit the event code and choose the storyteller you want to run.
Next choose modify internal variable
(choose the heroes home as the variable to modify)

In the internal variable modify the screen should look somewhat like this

Unitthe building/unit/event your modifying)
Variable: 01
Change variable: you need to put in 3

Now choose modify mode, and change this event(whatever you named it) and modify it to mode two.

Now save your changes and go back to the beginning of the event where you see the arrow signs to edit mode two.

Don't go into the edit event code

Go to the conditions of the auto-event and make it so the building your in has to have the internal variable of 2 to activate.

If you follow and understand these instructions the auto event won't occur again.


If you're in play-test mode you're always going to see the event represented by a red dot with a question mark...when u actually play the game it won't be there it will be invisible.

I ALMOST got all that, just what do u mean by the conidtions of the auto event? And one mroe thing: THANK YOU SO MUCH

Re: I need help with something! PLease Help

When your in event code settings and your choosing auto/touch/button
right below that if u push the down button once are

"Event conditions"

You can have up to three event conditions to activate an event.

Think of it as a secret password to activate that event. If you have the wrong password or don't have a password the event won't activate. Of course if you didn't choose a password for the event the event will activate through either auto/touch/button.

Do you understand?

OMG THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY NO MATTER WHAT I DO ITS NOTHING BUT EVENT LOOP! I appreciate your help but im never going to get this. I need to figure out how to make certain events only happen once......but im never going to get this. i have no idea what im doing with variables AND THE MANUAL TELLS YOU NOTHING
......

[Aminveloscasin]

Re: I need help with something! PLease Help

variable = second mode ( event conditions = 2nd mode )

And if this "doesn't work" your missing a step...in which case I'll do it myself and completely walk you through.
