Couple of newb event questions

[darksteel]

How do I get an event to start as soon as I start a new game. I'm new to scripting and know absolutely nothing about it. Also how do I get someone to respond when i ask a question. She says something and the answers come up, but i dont know how to link an event to the answer (let alone make the event =D).
thanks
Michael

Welcome to the Pavilion Michael.

EDIT - My mistake. I posted an answer to your question, but it was based on RPG Maker 3, so it won't do you much good. I entered the incorrect subforum by mistake. Sorry about that. Oops. You will find lots of helpful people on here with RPG Maker 2 though.

Re: Couple of newb event questions

There are a couple of options here.

1. Put the stuff you want to happen in a script and make it the Map Enter script of your first map (set up in General Settings). You set map enter scripts in the World Organization editor.

2. Make an action script and put it in the motion slot of any event and put that event in your map. Place this event on your starting map using the Event Placement editor then the World Organization editor to add the event placement to your map.

3. Make a content script and put it as the apply script of an event and set the event start to auto (if you have more than one auto event in a map this might not work properly). Place this event in your starting map.

4. Edit the to map facing script and put what you want to happen somewhere in there in a script condition so it will only happen once.

Like this many other things in RPGM2 can be achieved in multiple ways. Btw your minigame question has already been answered in a previous post here, so please read over the forum and make sure your question has not been asked before posting it as many people do not like having to answer the same question over and over again. Another thing to help you get started is the advanced tutorial here.
