i need help (n00b here)

[Shishiwakamaru]

Hello, im new to RPG maker and 3 is my first so my problems are as follows:

1.)i need help using events to start a storyteller but when i try to play it, the storyteller keeps on repeating for eternity..... what can i do to stop it, i have already tried end event but it wont stop still.

2.) how do i use variables to set a battle/event to be only be accessible once and are there any other ways?

3.) how to ake a building inaccessible for a time and accessible again after conditions are met.

4.) Lastly, i need help in getting the exact equivalent of Str to actual Physical damage.

1.)i need help using events to start a storyteller but when i try to play it, the storyteller keeps on repeating for eternity..... what can i do to stop it, i have already tried end event but it wont stop still.

These both have the same answer. Pick a variable for your purpose and make a note somewhere (so that you do not reuse the variable for something else and ruin this).

You will need to create a "Value Conditional Branch" (from the Control menu) and set what you want to happen (storyteller / battle) in the bit where the value = 0.

Variables all begin with a value of zero.

Then, after your event (storyteller or battle) increase the variable.

In the bit where the variable = 1 just use event end (or nothing at all if it is the last line of the script).

Some people prefer to do this with modes, but they consume more memory and it is better for you to get good with variables early. Trust me.

If you want to know how this is done with modes, just ask!

Also, if your storyteller is in an Auto Event you may need the Modes solution. After the storyteller command, just use Add Mode (making sure the event has a mode 2!!). There does not need to be anything in mode 2, but it does need to exist.

3.) how to ake a building inaccessible for a time and accessible again after conditions are met.

Use the Modify Property command (found in Property Control) and adjust the "Entry Allowed" option as needed and when needed.



4.) Lastly, i need help in getting the exact equivalent of Str to actual Physical damage.

Nobody Knows.

The damage formula also takes into account other things like enemy defence and more... but they did not give us access to the bit that calculates that, so we can't modify it or even know what it is doing.

This is no RPGMaker 2, which is infinitely more customizable but far more complex (though far less dificult than people here make out... you just need some basic logic and math skills).

I hope that helps.

Good Luck with it.

Peace.
