Calling Events when Failing to Run

[Carrot Works]

This is for XP.

Is there any way I can edit the scripts to make it so that a Common Event is called every time the party fails from escaping a battle?  Where in the scripts would this be and what would I have to edit?

OR, is this something I can easily do with events?  I tried putting it under "Don't Run" in the troop commands with all 3 spans, but that didn't do anything.

It wouldn't be hard to do, but what does the common event do? There are a couple of ways of doing this, depending on the event some will be better than others.

I wanted to make it use variables.  For example, 10% of the time you'll just see a text box that says "You tried, but you fell and smashed your face on a rock!" Then another 10% of the time it will show a picture, play a sound and wait frames.

Okay this is fairly simple, make your common event. Goto the database and goto the troop tab, goto where you would usually input events and set the trigger to if switch(say 255) is on and the span to entire battle, then put a call to the common event in the event dialog. Next, go into the script editor and near the bottom of the update_phase2_escape method you should see (lin 115 in default)

if success
      # Play escape SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.escape_se)
      # Return to BGM before battle started
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
      # Battle ends
      battle_end(1)
    # If escape is failure
    else
      # Clear all party member actions
      $game_party.clear_actions
      # Start main phase
      start_phase4
    end

add      $game_switches

Thank you so much!  It worked!

You forgot to mention it was in Scene_Battle 2, but that's okay, I found it right away.

Also, it only worked once per battle at first, but I fixed that by changing the span to Moment, and having the event turn its switch off after it ran.

Just clearing that up for anyone who stumbles upon this thread and wants this.

Awesome, happy I could be of help (I thought I forgot to mention something in my post)
