Changing Map Even?

[John Freeman]

(Sorry for my bad english)


I'm trying to make an auto run event like when a NPC step on a trap then a hole will appear upon it 


 ----------------------------->  


I think this problem can solve with change image event but are there any better ways to do this?

yes - the best way would be to make it completely different.


1) no autorun - make it player touch and priority below player, that way it will happen when the player steps on it


2) don't use change image, make it a two-page event with the hole graphic on the second page and use control switch or control self-switch to change pages


(regular switch if the hole is several events large, self-switch if it is a single-event-hole)


Preferably use a tileset image, not a sprite, for the hole - but in this case remember that it will also impose the passability of that tile if switched to that page, and that the hole needs to be part of the map tileset to be avalable. You still need to use a sprite if those conditions are not fitting.

how can i change title set when when event is running?, I mean this event is create for an npc like make moving route for them and they step on a trap and the hole appear

Different event pages have different properties - that includes different pictures.


That is one of the basics of eventing - I suggest you follow the link to the starting point in my signature and work your way through the tutorials to learn those basics as fast as possible, page priority is the most important element to progress anything in the game (not only map structure, but also NPC-events.


and please don't quote entire posts to answer, especially not if the post you quote is directly above

I'm sorry, in my country people usually do that  


I think I should stock up some more knowledge before making the game

 

[Andar]

everyone needs his/her first project to be a learning project that is usually never finished but scrapped after one or two months of experimentation, That is one of the points I made in that starting tutorial.
