Conditional Item Usage Event

[jjangjae]

What I wanted to do is that during a certain event, when a player uses an item, a cutscene will trigger, but only if he uses the item.  How do you do that?

You can make the item call a common event...it isn't too hard...just go to the item and it should have a call common event option

Hope this helps.

Uh, sorry but this is what I meant.  The following is what I want to happen:
An item using tutorial even teaches you how to use items when on the world map.  Next, it has you use the item.  If the player uses the item, then a cutscene will trigger, thus moving the story.  If the player doesn't use the item, then nothing will happen and the story is stuck until he/she catches on and use the freaking item.

Make the item call a Common Event, and in the Common Event simply turn on a switch.

Then on the tutorial event, create a Conditional Branch checking if the switch is on, and if it is, proceed with the cutscene.

Another alternative is to check if the player has 0 (or 1 less than the starting amount) of that item in the inventory, although this won't work if the item isn't consumable.
