Simple question= Simple answer

[Zero Down]

OK well I've almost finished my very first dungeon! Yay!!!
but of course ive run into one minor problem. It should be simple all im trying to do is display a message. Heres what I want to happen:

Step on floor switch

display message

unlock door

heres what I got in the event code:

Display off----locked door1......

message display-----you hear the sound......

New--------

For some reason I cant get the message to display. I'm playing it in test game so the events should work I also know this because the doors unlock.

I may not reply because im going to bed because im tired so Ill thank you tomorrow.

Re: Simple question= Simple answer

Try putting the display message command first, see if that makes a difference.

ZeroDown,
It really should work fine.
I have a switch that I turn on. Then the auto event (with that switch being on as the trigger) turns the display of the event in front of the door off and then displays a message. It tests out fine. Write down in detail what you've created. Not sure why it's not working. Are you sure that you've set everything up correctly?

This is what I've set up in the auto event's event code:

01 Display off -> object blocking door
02 Message Display -> message
03 New

It works well.

I dont know whats wrong I have that in my event code as well It's just not appearing!

Re: Simple question= Simple answer

Hmmm...why don't you just delete that event and create a new one from scratch and see what happens?

Re: Simple question= Simple answer

Nope I cant believe it's not working

here what I got in front of the door is an inviible event that when the player walks into it it says that it is locked and you can't get through. Thats what it says something like that. The when the player uses the nearby switch the message is displayed and the invisible event goes away. It all works accept for the last message here is what the event looks like in detail.

Re: Simple question= Simple answer

In order for the event to read mode 2, you have to modify the mode to mode 2. I don't see that anywhere in the coding. It seems like after you turn the switch on, your event is still in Mode 1, and as a result nothing happens.

Re: Simple question= Simple answer

I dont see how i can chage this event frommode to mode 2?

I cant put that in the first pages event code because what will happen is the message that the door is locked will appear I will be moved then the mode will change that wont work.

Re: Simple question= Simple answer

Sorry for the little delay. My internet connection disconnected. Anyway, yeah, I didn't realize that you had set this up as an invisible event that required a party movement.

Well, you have two options as far as I can tell. You could change it from an invisible event to a graphic, thus not requiring the party movement.
OR
you could set up a second auto event, with the switch on set as a trigger, that would switch the door blocking event from Mode 1 to Mode 2. You could also just turn off the invisible event from there.

Well, my bed time has arrived. Good night, my friend, and good luck with it.
