Events at game start?

[Kortmaniac]

I'm brand new to RPG Maker (VX Ace) and i need to script an event that happens right off the bat when you start a new game. Need help.

Go into event view on your 1st map, double click anywhere and make your event, at the end of the event make sure to use self switch a then make a second page and make sure self switch a is checked it will autorun the event at the start. Also set it to "autorun".

Press my signature spoiler button.

I made a game tutorial to make people VX Ace fluent under 4 hours. (Hopefully)

Also check @Andar's tutorials.

I got a picture link to these in my signature too.

i need to script an event

Just to save you some confusion in the future, scripting and eventing aren't the same thing.  Though they can accomplish the same thing, it's just using the right tools for the job.

Yes, try to become familiar with the terms, as it'll be less confusing when you ask for help.


In the editor, double-click somewhere on the map. That is an event. Everything you do in this window is eventing, not scripting.


Now close that window, and press F11. THOSE are scripts. Everything you do in this window is scripting. You should avoid scripting when you're new for <<too many reasons to list>>.


Also read up some beginner tutorials and take a look through the help file.
