To receive an item, use the Change Items event command like this:
@>Change Items: [Potion], +1
To give an item to another character, you would first check for the item, and then remove it from inventory. Use event commands like the following:
@>Conditional Branch: [Potion] in Inventory
@>Text: Oh, you have the Potion. Let me have it.
@>Change Items: [Potion], -1
@>Text: Thanks.
@>
: Else
@>Text: I'm looking for Potion. Let me know if you have one.
@>
: Branch End
@>
To make the game start with one character, go to the Database and click the System tab.
In the section "Initial Party" on the upper left corner, you can delete party members by
pressing DELETE or double-click on party members to edit them.
For events that happen only once, you can use switches and self switches. Here is an example of such an event:
Event Page 1
Conditions: None [leave the conditions alone]
Event Commands:
@>Text: This is a one-time event.
@>Control Self Switch: A =ON
[Note the Control Self Switch event command here, which sets a self switch
to activate event page 2.]
Event Page 2 [click New Event Page to create event page 2]
Conditions: Self Switch A is ON [activate the Self Switch box under "Conditions"]
Event Commands:
@>Text: You've missed the one-time event.
[This event page activates after the one-time event occurs.]
Here, you could also use the Control Switches event command and activate a named switch instead. The condition would then read, "Switch XXXX: is ON". Whereas switches apply to the entire game, self-switches apply only to a single event.
