How do I

[evmaster]

Okay, I walk up to a character in my game and talk to him/her. In the characters event, it saids if hero posses item, give to person, yes or no. Saying no will make them say something. I just wanted to know if I could make a certain button I could press to give the item to the character instead of putting yes or no and then they say something. Oh, how do you also make characters in town say something random.

And is this the right topic?

If you're using RM2K3, then it's easy.

Make the person a Touched By Hero event. In the event, create a Key Input Process command that recognizes the key you want to press (if you want to use the item by pressing 1, for example, decheck all the boxes save for the Number keys.) Next, create a Conditional Branch/Fork Condition that checks if the variable you used above is equal to the key you pressed (if you used 1, then the variable should be equal to 11.) From there, just continue on with the event.

Could you explain how to do it with the shift key or the enter key? I am having some problems.

[DragonBlaze]

Well you'll need to make the key input process, check the shift key box and uncheck all the other boxes. Under that, make a fork condition if they key is 7, in that fork, remove the item, or do what you want.

Thanks.

[evmaster]

Its not working.

[DragonBlaze]

Did you set the key input process to wait until key is pressed? And did you make sure that the variable used in the key input process was the same variable used in the conditional branch?

[evmaster]

I tried to post a picture in my last post.

[WarxePB]

Hmm, the branch and the Key Input should be reversed in position.

[evmaster]

I just switched them and if I press the Spacebar I can't move my character.

You can't have a key input for the space bar. It's either enter, esc, or shift.

And don't ask which numbers are enter and shift. It tells you right when you make the key input.

[evmaster]

I forgot to say that also when I try and press Shift Key nothing happens.

I now got it to where if I press the spacebar, I cant move, so then I have to press the shift key and then press the spacebar. How can I fix this?

[WarxePB]

If your Key Input Process command has "Wait until key pressed" checked, de-check it.

[evmaster]

This is what I have now. And thanks so much everybody.

[WarxePB]

Yep, that should work. Just give us a buzz if you need help again.
