RPGM2 question - Town placement

[Dark Sentry]

I've been fiddling around with RPG Maker 2, mainly just playing with the preset data to get a feel for how things work...

I switched from the beginning island to the volcanic map and placed the town entry on that map...

I can enter the preset town from the map, but when I exit the town my character is inside a mountain a ways away from the town entry event and can't be seen/can't be moved.

How do I link the town to the town entry event on the map?

Re: RPGM2 question - Town placement

Well I'm not exactly sure what you're specifically referring to (maybe the default warp script), but to set up warps between things use the Warp command (Party > Teleport > Warp) in a content script. Then in the command you choose where the party ends up on the map.

An efficient way to do a warp is to do a two way one. So say you have a World Organization called Town Map, and Lava Map, then in your script say

Script: Town <> Lava : type- Content

SB: Condition Input [4:Current Map] = Town Map
- Warp: Lava Map xx X xx Y xx Z
SB: End
Warp: Town Map xx X xx Y xx Z

(where xx are numbers chosen when you choose the warp command)

Then you make this script the apply script of some event, and set the start to equal (an event with no model) or touch or examine (on an event with a model).

What I'm assuming happened is you just changed the map in the default script to point to the lava one, but did not change the coordinates of the warp.

And to link the town so that when you run into it you go into it, make an Event with the town object (or building) as the model, and the above script as the apply script.

I suspected it might be a script... thanks, I'll take a look for it!

Re: RPGM2 question - Town placement

Just to let you know there is more than one Warp Script. So find the one used in the apply slot of the event you are using. Or make your own using the template I gave you.

Just remember that to do pretty much anything in the game you will need some kind of script. Events are really just what call the scripts but the scripts do all the work (for the most part).
