Having one event trigger another ?

[Carolinsky]

Hey guys,
I have a question.
I want to have one event trigger another while still being there.
Or let me explain it like this. The scenario is that two people are talking while suddenly they hear some noises and an enemy
pops up. How do I do that? I hope somebody can help me !
Thank you!
(ps: sorry for my bad english lol)

Put it all in one event. Spreading a cutscene across multiple events is unnecessary and likely causes timing issues.

But if I put it all in one event how do i manage to let an enemy to suddenly appear?

Set move route > Pick the enemy event > Set Graphic

for a better explanation:
the one event is called the controlling event. it should contain all commands and remote control all other events. This should be done to prevent timing problems and a number of other problems.

the other events should have no content commands at alll - but they can have other properties like multiple pages (with different sprites) etc.
You can then either use switches to switch between those pages (just make sure that no page has commands and all pages are set to action button) or use the change picture command.
both have different advantages and disadvantages - the page approach is better if you want to change other properties as well (for example priority to make the event sometimes blocking and sometimes vanishing), but requires more work and a general switch for this.
the graphic change command does not require the switch, but cannot change anything else either.

Or better yet: Put the enemy graphic offscreen, then when it is ready to appear: Set move route (the route you want it to take so it comes on screen).

You'll have to use something to make sure it doesn't stay onscreen when done.
