Hi everyone, Problem with a cutscene

Ok, I make the event in the corner (The usual if you know how to make a cutscene) and in the Event Commands there's talking, A graphic change from human to demon, and a battle animations. Then to end the cutscene I use my usual switch, (TurnOff) to stop the event from looping, I play my game through, But when I get to that map, it doesn't autostart or parralel process whatever. Please lol help me, I'm acutally getting something done in my game.
I'm also using mr.mo's abs if that has something to do with it.
 
Sometimes when you use two new pages with no switch triggers... it goes to the empty page.. or the most recent page.

That may be the problem...

or it could be you using as Lum said.. the same switch as another event. . Local Switches reset after you leave and come back to the map..

Its kinda hard for me to know exactly what you're saying... so..
 
K, Look so this is what i'm trying to say, Btw thanks for such a fast respond guys! Ok, so basically I would use a teleporter to get to the map I want. It's different from ANY other map in the game, totally new. I get in and wtf my parallel process doesn't auto start. I'm thinking somethings up wiht the switch (im using the same switch for every ending cutscene)
with the switch, but it's not. IT ONLY WORKS WHEN... I put my charecter On that map from the beggining.
 
You can't use the same switch for every cut scene. It just won't work that way.
Instead, for example, after boss guy dies, turn switch no. 1 on, then after boss guy 2 dies, turn switch no. 2 on.

If this is still confusing(which it might be, because I'm crappy at explaining things.), then look in the tutorials section, I'm fairly certain that there are some tutorials on using switches.
 
Don't use the same switch from before. Odds are it's still on or off from being used previously... The best method is to create a new switch for every cutscene. It's really not a burden at all, since you can create more switches than you'll probably ever use. I mean, A LOT of switches-- hold on, I'll check-- yeah, so the max is 5,000 switches. Make a new one.
 
If you do one scene and at the end turn your switch off, come your second scene the switch will still be turned on, so it will automatically go to the second page. Use self switches instead of regular ones.
