Title: Help needed for RPG Maker 2k3 please
Post by: BlackViperOMEGA on March 08, 2009, 10:24:15 AM

I've hut a snag in making one of my maps.
I'm trying to make a large boulder split in two and half of it move to one side to show a passage.

I'm using the boulder from the Dungeon Chipset that came with the initial program in the RTP.

No matter what event commands I use, it still won't move, and just repeatedly makes the sound I set to it.

Can anyone help me out with this please?

When you say chipset do you mean the charset with the boulder on? Usually, chipset events have
VERY limited capabilities.

It is a charset, but I made it using the 4 tile round boulder from the Dungeon chipset. Each tile is a seperate charset tile.

For some reason it still doesn't move.

It would be helpful if you posted the exact code you were using so we could see where you're going wrong.

Yeah, sorry. I'm doing this from my Wii, so its hard to get things between here and my computer.

I managed to figure it out though. I had a wall piece that was causing the event to be blocked, which in turn forze everything else after it.

Anyway, I have a new question.

Is there a way to put an introduction at the start of the game, instead of it just going straight to the Party Start point?

I toyed around with a few things to try it, but none of them worked. Any suggestions?

Make the hero a blank charset, and a parallel event for the intro, at the party start point. When the intro is over, change the charset back to how he was supposed to be.

Yeah, when you place an event down, you can set Action Key, Touched By hero, Collision With Hero, Autostart and Parallel remember?

Autostart and parallel work without having to be activated. Autostart starts the event and performs all the actions whilst Parallel allows
other things to happen whilst all the code is executed.

If you start them game with your main character as a blank charset (invisible) and make some events that make exciting stuff happen. When you
want your game to start, add your real hero and remove the invisible one and teleport to the beginning of the game.
