Quick Question^^;

Okay here's the situation... my main character walks up to an NPC and the NPC talks, then gives the main character a little bit of gold, then talks some more. Say I want to prevent the NPC from giving the gold away over and over, how would I do that? I want the NPC to say the first part once, give the gold once, then say the 2nd block of text it says after giving the gold when spoken to from then on. I sense something dealing with switches..... [which I'm only a little familiar with x_x]

After the second batch of text, turn on self switch A. Then, make a new event page with the condition self switch A is on. Then just put that second text box in the second page of the event. Simple as that.

That worked like a charm, thanks! I feel silly for not being able to figure out something that simple....^^;

nice...I ask the same question not long ago and I think was criticized by some one and then this guy comes in and his question gets answered very quickly.  Any ways yes The way he explained it works a bit better than mine. Then again mine was a mission so I had to use a switch not a self control swith

And...?

If you got your question answered, you got it answered. Does it really matter what tone in which the response was delivered?

In my opinion, yes.

Whatever. At any rate, this is not the place to discuss such things. If you want to start a discussion of how "tough love" can be too tough, then by all means, make a thread. But this clearly isn't the place for it.

Personally, I prefer not being called a jackass before the answer comes. :p  But nothing like that is happening in this thread anyway.

Just a note on this: I personally prefer an alternative method over the page tradition, when the NPC doesn't change move patterns after talking.

Instead of opening up an entire new page, simply use the same page and have a conditional branch.

Condition: If Local Switch A == On {
----[Message of NPC after being talked to once.]
}
Else{
----[Message of NPC for the first time.]
}

If you want to have more alternative messages than once, simply bracket that^ into another conditional branch in place of the Else of that one, with condition of Self Switch B etc.


There are a couple of advantages of this, including easier to take in for being all in view at the same time, less page hassles, does not interrupt custom movement patterns (another page will reset the movement pattern mark), etc.

Of course, it's still a lot just due to preferences, but just thought I'd throw this out there for those who want to scoop it.  :smile: Cha.
