Going about on making stealth segments in a game

[jokemasterslifer]

As I said in my intro, I need help on RPG Maker XP.
I have a stationary guard right, but what about a moving guard? Is there a way to move the events that I made (look at image 3) WITH the guard? To represent his sight as he's moving?

this topic should work out for you. it's not about using actual events for this sort of thing, but it's an alternative thing and those are cool.

Thank you. :biggrin: Just one question, since the radius script is parallel process, how do I re-enable my "neck-snap" feature that is also parallel process? When you walk up to an enemy and press the action button, it enables and disables a series of switches, so that it kills him.

For some reason, it only shows up as "image", and no image. :(

If you have another parallel process to run, you can always put it in a separate event. I haven't looked at everything you've posted because I don't have much time, but the idea behind parallel process is that it can work alongside other events, even other parallel events.

Yes. Like Guardian said, place the Parallel Processing in a different event. You could have that one event check multiple guards as well.

For the guard event itself, you have many unnecessary switches and branches. You can save a lot of switches by putting everything in two pages. On the first page, show an attacking animation, change his sprite (found in Set Move Route: Change Graphic), then turn on a switch. On the second page, check that Condition switch and give him a down graphic.

Remember to also check if that switch is off in the Parallel Process event. You don't want the guard to see you even if he's dead.

Alright, I got it working, thanks everyone. :grin:
