[ Solved! ] Different Encounters in VX

[mk1995]

Yesterday, I got RPG Maker VX. And I have to say, this thing ROCKS!

Now, I was wondering, whether it would be possible to change the enemy troops you get to encounter once you pass some event on the floor, or something like that. It could be done in RPG Maker XP, if I remember correctly.

But I can't do that in VX! How do I change these troops?

I believe that was a feature in RM2k3, not in RMXP. In RMXP to do this, you would need to have made an event handle the encounters.

Actually, there's ways to do this in RMXP that might work in RMVX-- does RMVX have the option to bring in certain enemies partway through a battle?

If it does, you just need a battle event that brings in certain enemies if, say a switch is OFF, but others if it's ON.

Does RMVX have the option to bring in certain enemies partway through a battle?

Indeed it has! It's called "Enemy Appear".

If it does, you just need a battle event that brings in certain enemies if, say a switch is OFF, but others if it's ON.

I'll try...

Edit:
This doesn't work out at all! Here's what I did:

I placed events in some pattern that would switch some switch on. The affected troop will transform if the switch is off, but then the game freezes up!

Also, the Slimes are still Slimes. I need something that actually changes the troops that you get to encounter.

Your best option in that situation is have identical maps, and teleport between the two when you want the encounters to change.
