Random chest event problem.

[Rymdgurkan]

I'm having issues with my treasure chest events. What I want them to do is be able to appear once in a while, not everytime, and the content in them are random. This is my event:

Page 1:
Control Variables:[0001: Chest Appear] = Random No. (0...1)
Control Self Switch: A = ON

Page 2:
Have conditions of variable 0001 Chest Appear is 1 or above
and Self Switch A is on.
Control Variables: [0002: Chest Loot] = Random No. (0....3)
  Conditional Branch:Variable [0002: Chest Loot == 0]
  Change Items: [Red Potion], +1
Else
  Conditional Branch:Variable [0002: Chest Loot == 1]
    Change Items: [Sword], +1
  Else
(repeat with changed condition and loot)
  Branch End
Branch End
Erase Event


The Problem with this event is that the treasure chest always shows and only hands out Red Potions.
Any help on making it work would be great.

Here is a chest event which i bake up:

It consist of 3 pages, the 3rd one has is empty with the chest open graphic.

Basically, the first page determine the spawn rate and whether the chest is actually spawned.

Second page determine the content of the chest. In the above example, the player has 50% chance to get an a random amount of G (1-2000), 25% chance of getting a Potion and 25% chance of getting a High Potion. The player will get only 1 item.

The problem with your event is how the event spawn and the way the variable is handled.

Ah, many thanks, mate!

You might want to considering adding some "Wait" frames on the first page, or an "Erase Event" because it will continue looping forever, as it's on Autorun (so the chest will appear immediately no matter what).

I see Erase Event on the first page o_O

That little detail is probably why the chest kept appearing in the first place-- the event just autoran until the chest appeared, which let it go to page 2.

Oh sorry I can't believe I missed that @_@

The Erase Event command is blue as well, your eyes tricked you :p
