Eventing Musical Tiles

[dootthaloop]

Okay, here's what I want to do... for a 'sound room', I have a section of the floor on which each tile that is stepped on, will play a single note [I have a series of notes in SE files]. The most I can figure out is, it involves playing the SE and using a character sprite for the tile that will appear when stepped on [oh, forgot to mention I want the regular floor tiles to appear up until the point that you step on a musical tile, that's when the regular tile will change to a special glowing tile]. I've tried to accomplish this through switches, self switches, and variables, but I'm obviously doing something very wrong. So, basically, I want to know how to do what I mentioned above. Help please?

Well, if you want it to happen when the player steps on the tile, set the event trigger to "Player Touch". Then, in your event command list, play the sound effect, and then turn on a self-switch. On the 2nd event page, make sure it's activated with the self-switch that's flipped, and make the graphic the glowing tile. That event trigger should just be "Action Button" so it doesn't do anything.

And that should work just fine.

EDIT: Oops! Didn't notice the VX thing. Well... I think it should work similarly though...

That works well up to the point that the character leaves the tile. I want it so that when the tile is left alone, the glowing tile changes back to the regular tile.

Set the second event page to parallel process and have it check if the player's coordinates equal that tile through variables. Then in a conditional branch that it isn't, turn off Self Switch A.

Why thank you, I was kinda on the right track in the first place when I attempted variables but that clarified it for me^^; It works now!
