Creating a basic Drop Maze

[shiroun]

'ello. I'm shiroun, and today I'm going to tell you (and give you a demo) of how to make a basic maze.

You need a basic understanding of variables, and patients. This demo took me about 30 minutes to make (including a milk-shake break, rhymes lol).

Basically, create 1 event, named Variable A, and one hole called Variable B.
Unless you have animated ones for this, just turn off move animation and tick the direction fix

Event: Variable A
Set to: Parallel
Options: Move Animation OFF Direction Fix ON
Now set this up:

Area: New Event, not either Variable, whole new event
Set to: Parallel
Options: Leave default
@> Control Variables : [0001: Variable A X] = [Variable A]'s Map X
@> Control Variables : [0002: Variable A Y] = [Variable A]'s Map Y
@> Control Variables : [0003: Variable B X] = [Variable B]'s Map X
@> Control Variables : [0004: Variable B Y] = [Variable B]'s Map Y

Now in variable A set this:

Spoiler: Set

Then set:

@> Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: Variable A X] == [0003: Variable B X]
...@> Conditional Branch: Variable [0002: Variable A Y] == [0004: Variable B Y]
       Erase Event
       Text: You win!
      :Else
      @>
   : Branch End
   :Else
 : Branch End

Now try it, if you did it right, you'll have a minigame!

I did this one in about 30 minutes, it has 5 castles you can move to 2 holes. It is kinda fun ^_^.
Mine has different variables, and a whole lot more used. Don't mind the first 10 or 20, go to the page with 79-99 (ish).

if anyone was wondering, a better version of this is going to be used for Hero Rental

This looks pretty cool ^^;

140+ views and no responses... sad. I even updated the main post with scan results.

Well, you can't expect miracles. You have to remember, this is the tutorial section. Most try and then move on, or expect it to be something else. It does look a little hard...

Maybe upload a demo? I don't really need this; the demo'd be for someone who did.

You should describe what it is. Like, I dont know what a 'Drop Maze' is.
I'd like to see this though, it sounds like something I need for my game. Can you re-post your demo?

I think it's something like a maze, where you push boulders, and such into holes to change access to certain parts of the maze.
