This approach is similar to the one I gave in "cooldown" events, where an event becomes
inactive for a certain amount of time. See
this page.
For convenience, I will write something similar to make it apply to your case.
Use my script for
script-based switches for this. Also
add this to a new script section.
class Game_Event
def cooledDown?(seconds)
if !(expired?(seconds) && tsOff?("A"))
self.need_refresh=true
return false
else
return true
end
end
end
Here's the basic structure you should follow.
Event Page 1
No conditions
any trigger
Graphic: --Enemy character--
Battle Processing: ???
If Win
Script: setEventTime; setTempSwitchOff("A")
End
The script setEventTime sets the event's variable to the current time, so that later the game
can check whether the event "expires" and returns to normal. setEventTime can also be used to
set other events' variables to the current time. For example, setEventTime(2) sets this event
and the event numbered 2 on this map.
Event Page 2
Condition 'Self Switch "A" is ON', any trigger
Graphic: None
-- Can contain no event commands --
This event page is used in cases when the event is currently "inactive".
Event Page 3
Condition 'Switch "s:cooledDown?(50)" is ON'; Self Switch A is ON
Autorun trigger
Graphic: --Enemy character--
-- Respawn event here --
Control Self Switch: A = OFF
Script: setTempSwitchOn("A")
This event page checks whether the event has expired and becomes active again. In this case,
after 50 seconds.
