help with fountains

[Mean1]

On VX I have this town where I have a very small body of water that has a fountain in it. There is 4 stages to an animated fountain. I have it set up to where stage 1 (very small) waits 30 frames then self switches to the second stage then waits 30 frames....continues like this untill stage 4. Here is my question. I have stage 4 set up to wait 180 frames I want it to go back to the beginning and start over. How would I do this?

I tried setting another self switch like I did for the rest of it but doing that causes the whole thing to not even appear. I tried putting in a switch and the same thing happens. Any sugestions?

Actually, all you have to do is turn off the previous self-switches. That should fix the problem.

It didnt. After each event I turned off the previous self switch so when B turns on A turns off. When C turns on B turns off and so on...It still is not appearing...I have it set to Autorun. Im going to try somethign else here but as of right now nothing is working.


Ok so that didnt work... I had event 1 turn A in but turn C off event 2 turned B on but turned D off. Event 3 tunred C on but turned A off...4 was D on and B off...That didnt work...hmmmmmm very intresting

I would have to post 4 screenshots but alright gimme like 5 minutes

Hmm, I don't see the problem. Could you post some screenshots?

On the 4th page, you just need to turn self-switch A, B, and C off and it will go back to the first page.

Although I think there's an easier method, why couldn't you just use a Custom Move Route that waits a few frames and changes the graphic? That would require only one page, and no trigger necessary.

because setting a custom route then changing the pic doesnt work. When you go to select the new picture it selects the whole thing...all 12 frames of the fountain. But what you said before that really helped thanks. :thumb: 180 frames though for the last one is too long so I will take it to about 100

I see, forgot VX was like that.
Well glad you got it resolved!

Me too it. Only took what? 4 hours? lol The only thing is I wanted 4 in the little pond but if I do that they all glitch up and dont work at all but Im happy with only one in it. I appreciate all your help on these forums. You do it with out yelling at people for not knowing how to do it. Thanks if I could some how give you a medal I would  :thumb:
