Event won't work

[Mixia]

Hello,

I have the RPG MAKER VX ACE Version (and love it ), but there is an Event that isn't working and I have no idea why.

This one works fine:

This one won't start:

It's my first rpg maker Project so it is probably something silly. Thanks for your help!

I believe that your problem is that the second event is set to Above Characters. Try setting it to Same as Characters and see what happens.

It is always something so silly isn't it.

I don't think a player can touch something above them. 

EDIT:  Beaten to the punch!

I tried Above Characters, same as Characters and below characters. It doesn't change a thing -.- I am quite clueless because of this. If the Event is above character the character shouldn't be able to pass the Event, should he? But he can.

Thanks for your help though

What conditions are on the second page of that event? If those conditions are fulfilled, then the second page takes priority and the first will never be active.

Instead try trigger parallel process... on the second image i dont know how you want to trigger the event so parallel process generates that event

There is only the 'Control Switches 005:teacher Comes'. It is meant to inactivate the Event.

I haven't done any parallel process yet... I put the Trigger to parallel process- there is no change at all(nothing happens).

The Event should start when the character touches it and the charactere [mom] is in the Team.

Perhaps, you should try adding Mom to the party with the initialize option. I think the function doesn't work properly if you add her to the party for the first time without having the initialize option ticked.

I tried the initialize option. No change. -.-

Hand over the project!! (If you want).

I'd love to see what the problem is myself, I think it'll be easier that way

Please give full screenshots (of all pages) to see where the logic leads to, and place show text commants outside the conditional branches to test it the event page doesn't trigger at all or if it triggers but does nothing due to the conditions not met.

What's on the second tab of that event? I'm betting you have no conditions set up, or the conditions you have set up are true, and it's the second page that's running and not the first.


The engine looks at pages in reverse order and as soon as it finds one whose conditions are true (including no conditions), it makes it active and stops looking at the others.


If there ARE conditions on the second page, make sure you're playing a new game and not from a save file where those conditions are already true.

 

[Mixia]

It works now!

Shaz was right I forgot to put the conditional switch on the second event page... Silly mistake

Thanks to everyone for your help... I can finally continue working on the project!

This is actually what Andar said back in post #5.


For the record, Player Touch WILL work on events that are set to Above or Below Characters. They just have to be on the same tile for it to trigger, rather than next to each other, which is the case for events with Same as Characters priority.
