A hopefully simple question...
- Thread starter Skweek
- Start date
Put a control switches command at the end of the event like this:
Then click ''new page''.
Then on the 2nd page tick the box in the upper left corner and select the switch you turned on.
Hope this helps.
P.S: Don't mind the name of the switch, I used pictures from a different explanation I gave.

Self Switches are a godsend. lol I remember when I used to use separate switches for every chest. Those were the noob-old days.

Well you need to use them. It's ridiculous to make a whole switch for one thing. It's just like making a pie and then eating it all yourself.

That was a horrible analogy! (ok, maybe I've eaten a whole pie!) :biggrin:
"whole switch" makes it sound like it uses more resources. Both types need 1 bit of memory.
The advantages of self-switches: You can copy/paste an event, and it stays independent. The self-switch goes out of scope when the event does (gets removed from memory when you're not on that map.) There is a 5000 limit on regular switches (although I have a hard time imagining a game using them all.)
small game? probably don't matter much. But it's still a good practice.

I am afraid that's not true Brewie.
Self-switches are significantly more costly than global switches. Not that it will have any effect on game performance. This is not an area where you should bother optimize in regard to game performance.
It's much more interesting to structure your switches in a way which saves development time.
On a side note Exit Event Processing does just that. Any event commands after that will be ignored.
It's good that you figured how to make the event disappear ^_^
*hugs*
