Control switches guide (ideal for newbs)

Ok  now in this tut i will tell you how to make a switch
CONTROL SWITCHES
(GLOBAL SWITCHES)
Creating a switch:

Creating a switch is as easy as 1-2-3
It's simple just go into "Control switches"
then add one

Creating a quest:
To create a quest go to "control switches"
Create a switch called "Quest01" or what ever the hell you want to
call it.

Starting a quest:
To start a quest make an event Named "king" or once again What
ever the hell you want it to be
on the 1st page Put something like
"sir Kodi i know you're my most Finest Warrior so i must ask of
you to do a favor,my Son zach is terribly ill i need YOU to get me
a tonic from Torrin (please don't use that name it's in my game)
So Sir kodi do you Except?"
the show the choices
"yes" &
"No"
Then if the hero accepts ho has to go to
Torrin
then the king would say
"I'm Most greatfull Kodi And forever in you're debt
Now go Sir Kodi to TORRIN!"
the at the end of that sentence
go into "Control switches"
Make a switch (Explained in the 1st part of this gide)
turn it on the press O.K

PART 2:
Ok now we've got the basics Make a new event page on "King"
Then Tick "switch 1" just under the 2 then choose the Switch "Quest01".
After you have Ticked the box and chose the "Quest01" switch Click on
the Blank space and type message in the text box something like"You have not
finish the quest, get to torrin And get the tonic,
MY SON NEEDS IT!".
Then make a pg.3, make a new Switch called something like;
"Quest01 Finished" or something like "Found the tonic"
Then after you make that switch
press "Switch 1" and then choose "Quest01 Finished" or whatever you named it.
Then Take you're reward from the king say something like "99 potions received from the King"
Then add them to you're Inventory
(Change items,potion,then go to the "constant" part and add 99 potions
for those who didn't  know......)

I hope this gide Will help you in the switches department

I'd hardly call this ideal for anybody. If you want this to be taken as a serious tutorial, I'd suggest that you go back over it and proofread it, and work a bit on formatting. It's very sloppy as it is now.

Spelling mistakes?
i no its just that im not a good speller :smile:
Yeah but you should put it in MS Word then to fix it up.  Otherwise not that many people are going to want to read through it.

I fixed the Mistakes i think But any way check it now and tell me what you think
 
Awesome guide. Although I did find it hard to read, due to spelling mistakes. Currently using RMXP with a group of children at school. Their last module is Basic Game Making. So switches gives them conditional knowledge of the above. At least I know how its done now, too show them.

They meant FORMAT and colors, you could also add somwe pics and use the code command. :thumb:

Apart from that, good tut!
 
Very nice tutorial! But I have to agree with the others, it had some mistakes. It's still good, though! I wanted to teach my sister about this stuff, but I was too lazy to give a tutorial. She read this instead and she was making her first quests. Thanks!

Umm.....Thanx Im only yr.8 and spelling as u can tell is not my strong Point
Anyway happy to Help :thumb:

Well, you shouldn't really use 'Thanx', but I guess it's still readable. Same with 'u'. I got into the habit of typing without any errors. Well maybe some on accident.

where is "control switches"?
how do i get to it? im using rpg maker xp with the purple icon..... XD
plz reply

Well, RPG Maker XP with the purple icon is the Postality Knights Edition aka PKE (I think). That's illegal (I think again). Try RPG Maker XP, although it does cost a lot of money. Control Switches probably isn't in PKE, but there IS something in there to change switches. I'm pretty sure of it. Search. But still, this site does not encourage PKE.

Anyway, thanks for the tutorial, Gledlil. Wonderful tutorial!
