Can't transfer character to the next map

[MiloMilo]

EDIT: IT WAS JUST ME BEING DUMB YALL, thank you so much for trying to help me! Thank you Ander again, especially for being nice about it. I swear the way some of yall talk sounds like a robotic job interview. BUT THANK YOU ALL ANYWAY LEMME RUN AWAY NOW LMFAO IM SO EMBARRASSED AJSNAS


I bought RPG maker MV 2 days ago. There is a problem when trying to transfer my character to any map. When I try to make a quick event transfer, and the options show up. Which is the location of the transfer, it won't let me pick any other map than the map my character is already on. Doesn't matter if it's a door event, a simple transfer event, it will not let me change the map.
For example when you make a quick event for transfer, and the option for the location comes up. Let's say my character is on map 1, and I'm trying to transfer them to map 2. It will only transfer them to map 1, even if I click for the transfer to be to map 2. It will not let me put map 2 as the option. This leads to my character being stranded basically on map one, forever till they die of a game crash. I tried restarting it, even asking technical support for help. But technical support basically sent me something that sounded like an automatic message that was like OOO GO ASK FORUMS OR CHECK THE HELP GUIDE IN THE GAME, LIKE I ALREADY DID. I watched a whole bunch of tutorials before buying the game too like HHHHHH.
Please help me out here, is this a bug or do I need to mess with something in the coding? Am I the only one having the problem?

A poll is really a waste of time.

Do you have the steam version or the standalone version? What is the version that shows up?

Is the issue with the editor, in that it won't let you select a different map? Or does it let you select a different map but not transfer you there when you play the game?

When it attempts to do the transfer, does it move you to a different location on the map, or do you not move at all?

Could you please show us screenshots of one of your events? Make sure to include the whole event window - don't crop it to just the event commands because what's in the rest of the window is just as relevant. Easiest way is to open the event window and use Control+Alt+PrintScreen. Could you also please add a screenshot of the map you WANT to transfer to - in the editor, just click on that map so it opens, and grab a screenshot of your whole editor window.

just to be on the save side - how do you select the transfer target?
I'm giving you the correct sequence of steps here, and you tell us where it goes wrong for you:

1) right-click on the transfer point of the origin map to determine where the transfer should start.
2) select quick event creation - transfer
3) click on the dots ... at the location window to call up the target map list
4) select the target map on the list in the left part, the map will now be displayed in the right part.
5) select the target point on the map in the right part to determine where on the map you want to transfer to. The target will appear as a map grid frame at that position.
6) click OK to close the window
7) the transfer event window should now read the name and coordinates on the new map, and you might change the direction setting here.
8) click OK to create the event on the origin map

Just for your info: there have been several cases where the transfer didn't do anything because the people forgot step 5 - selecting the target point in addition to the target map...

it won't let me pick any other map than the map my character is already on

do you *have* other maps in the project's own maps list for the player to transfer to?

Did you use the transfer player command and not change event location?

 

[OmnislashXX]

Will you ever answer these questions?

 

[Poryg]

I guess the OP will, once they come back.

 

[mlogan]

@OmnislashXX That’s not necessary. OP posted not so long ago and perhaps has not had time to get back to this post to reply since then.

 

[OmnislashXX]

My bad. I was just being smart, I suppose.

@Shaz
I just put the poll there to see if other people were having the same problem, it was just put there for curiosity.
I bought the game from steam, so I guess the steam version? I'm not sure.
Everything works fine. Like for example it'll let me choose the next location, but once I put ok, the location says map 1 even though I selected map 2, which is like AHHHH.
Anyhow Lemme see if I can add screenshots on here to make it easier for everyone to understand, I'm new to using forums so I didn't know if photos would work on here, I'll see if I can at least link screenshots. The images will be in order.

1.)

Whatever is highlighted is where my cursor is.
2.)

I select location here.
3.)

Here I click the Farm 1 map and click ok.
4.)

Then this pops up again, like I selected Farm 1 not MAP 1. It won't let me change it no matter how many times I try. I tried refreshing the game multiple times. Just doesn't want to select the location I want.

Hope this explains enough. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me! I just want this fixed so I can enjoy this program, used my Christmas money to buy it LOL.

@mlogan
Hi, just want to thank you for defending me! I wasn't able to check this forum earlier since I was a bit busy. I didn't expect someone to be so rude out of nowhere tbh!

do you *have* other maps in the project's own maps list for the player to transfer to?

Yes I do have other maps. Like 4 maps.

Did you use the transfer player command and not change event location?

I tried both ways to transfer the character, through new event and transfer commands. See the thing is with both, When I click the location for the transfer and select the new map, and I click ok. It just goes back to saying the old map, which is map 1? The location never changes, just stays as map 1. Makes me a sad camper.

@Andar
OMFGGGGG ANDAR THANK U I LOVE U U HAVE SAVED MY LIFE, wow I'm so I can't believe this I'm a dummy, thank you so much!
Your the best god bless you, lemme just edit this post to say I got this answered. I DIDNT SEE IT IN THE TUTORIAL IM I CANT BELIEVE MYSELF IM I CANT, I'm so glad it wasn't a bug, and it was just me being stupid. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

@MiloMilo I've merged all your posts together. We ask that people do not double post (=posting right after yourself) as it distrubs the flow of reading. Instead, use the 'Edit' button if you want to add something after you posted.

Since it's solved, I'll close this.
