Moving boxes to a location, thus triggering something

[Zammy]

I've been trying to figure this out...I'm pretty sure its possible. And it's probably really simple too. I just can't figure it out. Ok. Here it goes.

In my game...you have to push a bunch of boxes around a room. If you push the box to the correct spot..something will happen.

So my question is...how do I make that something happen when a box event gets to a certain spot on the map?

I hope you understand this ':|
I'm trying to make it so if you get 3 boxes into the 3 locations, a switch will appear in the room that you can pull.
Something like...if box event is in specific location, then the switch would appear.

Well, you could have it so that there's an event over the area you want the boxes to have to be over (Using 'event touch' as the trigger for the event over the specific area.), and you could have it so that a certain switch turns on, and when the other two boxes are on their areas, two more switches turn on, and on a final event, have it so that once all three switches are on, the lever is displayed or whatever you want to do with it.

Hope that helps!

Ah I think I get it now :D Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Hmmm. I might be doing it wrong. OK. In the box event. I have conditional branches if up down left or right are pressed, the box would move in those directions. So I put the box event on Event Touch. But when the box goes onto the location, nothing happens :P Hehe. ><

That's the event that checks if the boxes are in the correct place, straight from my game.

As for the actual objects being moved, set them up as Action Button, with the following inside:

Set Move Route: This event (Ignore if Can't Move)
                              :$>1 Step Backwad

(Using 'event touch' as the trigger for the event over the specific area.)

That is not how event touch works at all. It's not if the event is touched by another event. It works if the event touches you. The difference from player touch is that you have to move into the event to trigger it, even if it has moved nearer you. Event Touch starts the process when the player and event meet.

You have to know how to use variables. Do you?

I made a game that used something like this in it...

Go and look in the Game academy, in assignment... 3 I think (or 4)
It is the dungeon assignment.

Download mine, and open it up and you can see how I did it.
