Changing Event Graphic

[BlakAdder]

Okay, one quick question. How do you make an event's graphic change/ make the event disappear after a certain switch is turned on?
Example: You go into a house and talk to a guy. After you leave, he's waiting outside for you and joins your party. When you come back afterwards, he's no longer there since he's in your party.

make a switch that activates after he joins you. then go to the orgional event and make a new page wtiht he conditions of that switch. leave the page blank

Thanks. Can I also do it for another event so that it just changes the graphic instead?

 

[bojjenclon]

same thing but make the graphic on the page different

You can change the graphic of an event through the "Set move route" command on the second page of commands. (Near the right of movement commands is "Change Graphic") Make sure you set it to "This Event" rather than Player.

That is by FAR easier than flipping a switch and having a page with the preconditions on it.

yeah but i find that can have its flaws. for a good game switches are best

Okay, but now the character isn't appearing outside the house. Help?

 

[bojjenclon]

Well its hard to help with out a good description of what you did

if you create an event inside of the house where the guy goes outside and it flicks switch: 001 for example.
create a second page on the same event with whichever graphic you wish and a blank page if you dont want anything to happen

then create an event outside of the house with the first page blank with no graphic, then a second page with the precondition of switch:001 = on then set it up from there

hope that helps
pm me and i will make a demo if required
