Wow, I need help

[KReaper]

Okay, umm wow... don't bother reading or replying to this thread unless you got lots of time, I'm a complete newb to alot of things in RPG Maker 3. Heres a list of questions I would love to have answered, or if you could help me over msn I think my addy is in my profile.

1) I've created a character (NPC) And I've set it up so that when I talk to him and answer a certain question I either fight him or he gives me exp for free, but the problem is I can repeatedly do this, so it makes it so it's so easy to lvl my main character in the beginning. Can anyone explain how to change this so I can only have the evnt happen once?

2) I dont know how to set up a boss fight told ya im newb.

3) I dont know how to turn off or change the annoying tying sound when the game starts up the prologue.

4) Is there any way to have enemies drop or characters start with key items???

5) how do I lock houses or sancutaries?

and last question (until I go back to my game and realize I got even more)

6) How do I figure out what's a good hpB and stat lvl + for my characters and what kinds of exp and stats my enemies should have/give for cetain points in my game?

plz any help from anyone, I know it may be bothersome to deal with newbs like me on a constant basis but I plea for you help.

Re: Wow, I need help

Okay, first, check out my Answers to Basic Questions thread at: http://www.pavilionboards.com/forum/...ead.php?t=5659. That takes care of 1 and 2.

3....what? You'll need to rephrase that...

4. Yes. You can have enemies drop items by configuring the monster party(s) they're in. Have characters start with them by simply placing them in the characters inventory at game start.

5. Just scroll through the options of the building you are trying to lock. (You'll need to have made a key first.) Then, set them to "locked" and choose what keys opens them.

6. Find that one with trial and error, Reaper.

Alright, thanx alot, I'll get to that, and then get back to you.. and for question 3

whenever a letter shows up on the screen it makes a noise, I dont know how to explain it any better, but thanx again for the help

EDIT: Sorry for not seeing your post before, I have a habit of not reading things unless they're announcements or sticky's

Re: Wow, I need help

Oh, well basically just use "narrirator or story". They make less annoying noises then the conversation one.

Sadly there is no way to turn off the noise completely.

Re: Wow, I need help

ok umm, I still got problems with that whole re- occuring event, heres my event code

01 - Decision Branch
02 - <Option 1/Start>
03 - Message Display
04 - Gain Experience
05 - Message Display
06 - <Option 1/End>
07 - <Option 2/Start>
08 - Battles (Characters)
09 - Battle Result Branch
10 - <Win/Start>
11 - Obtain Items
12 - <Win/End>
13 - <Lose/Start>
14 - Message Display
15 - <Lose/End>
16 - End Branch
17 - <Option 2/End>
18 - End Branch
19 - New

As you may be able to tell I dont exactly know how to use variables, so can anyone tell me what i need to put into this event code to make it so it only happens once, and preferably make it so that I can still talk to him but he says another thing completely different...

I really ned help.

What you need is to use a Val. Control Branch with the choices (=0) and (=1). Place the events that will only happen once in the =0 and raise the variable connected with the branch after the event. Then have him say something else in the (=1) branch.
I see you have a Yes/No branch (desicion branch): Do you want that, or were you just mistaken to it's function?

do you mean Val Conditional Branch or is there another one? I hate being a newb... should I just give up?

[hitogoroshi]

Re: Wow, I need help

Yes, that was a val condition branch I mentioned. I'm just wondering, did you mean to have a Yes/No branch as well? To give you a complete answer, I'll need to know that.

[KReaper]

Re: Wow, I need help

yah Its a decision branch not a yes no, the character actually gives a predetermined answer not a yes no response... im trying this stuff youre suggesting but im screwin it up even more...

this is basicly what im trying to have happen
talk to character
answer question
have response back from character
------------------------------
then have character reapeat the same old thing, like [why are you wasting time here, go!] every time I talk to him from then on

sry for being difficult

EDIT: Do I need to have multiple modes? (whatever they are) It says modes 1/1 before I go into The event code, btw I dont have anything in the mode editor
