Just a few questions

[Tenmou]

Hi!
My friend and I are new to RPG Maker VX and we're struggling to find help on some of the basics such as;

• How to gain an item from a specific event/character/NPC and being able to pass it on to another character/NPC. For example when an NPC asks you to take a potion to another NPC.
• Start with just one character like in typical RPG's and recruitment of Party members as the story progresses.
• To make sure an event only happens once and is not repeatable again, for example in one off/special events.

Thanks for helping! :smile:

Ok, I did that but its not working. Any other ideas I could try?

Your 3rd pages in the mom and dad events are also on Autorun. If you have any blank event pages, remember to keep it on Action Button.

I changed both of the 3rd pages to Action Button but I'm still getting the same result. It's so irritating! 

Any other ideas we could try?

Do you have any other events on the map? Also, could I see a screenshot of the pages 4-7 on event 20?

 

[Tenmou]

Yeah, I have other events; these mainly include doors, NPCs, a treaure chest and a statue.

Here are the page 4-7 screen shots:

Also, there is a nun character involved in this cut scene, here are some screenshots of her even pages:

Thanks for helping by the way, I'm at a loss for what to do.

I don't know, none of the events seem to have any problem. Are you positive every single blank event page is on Action Button?

If all else fails, you can try uploading a demo. I don't have VX, but someone else might download and give it a try.

Yeah, every blank page is set to Action Button. This one's a toughie. Maybe I should just try and re-make the whole cutscene.

May I offer a modest suggestion?

It looks to me like your cut scene's scripting uses a large number of different switches to do things.  Do you really need to use all of them?  It may be easier to keep track of things if you either just run through it in one big event, or, at least, instead of several different switches, use only one variable for different parts of the cut scene.

I still have a week or so on trial for VX.  (I may buy it. I dunno.  I like XP, but...)  Anyway, if you can post a link to a downloadable of your game, I could take a look at it and try to puzzle it out.

It's hard to go through all the screenshots and find the problem.  I have VX, so if you send me a demo, I'd be happy to take a look.

Thanks guys. :smile:
I've just uploaded a zip file of the project folder, is that what you mean when you say demo?

Here it is anyway, some things may have changed a little since those screen shots where I've been trying to figure it out.

Edit: I've figured it out, thanks for all the help guys. I went with Unka Josh's suggestion about making it all in one event.
