Hello c:

[ketidid]

Hello. My name is Katelyn, but I tend to go by keti online. c:


I was introduced to RPG Maker when I was... I think 10. My brother showed me one of the earlier versions(I can't remember which), and let me try it out. I was obsessed with it for probably at least a month, but I was young and had trouble getting things to work right, so I eventually gave up.


Last week, I noticed that RPG Maker VX Ace was on sale and decided to buy it. Needless to say, I'm obsessed with it again and now have a short idea for my first game. At the moment, I'm using the default graphics(and some edited versions of the default graphics that I'm doing myself). I figure I shouldn't try anything too ambitious for my first game. Even so, I'm sure I'll need help with something along the way.


All in all, I'd love to meet some people on here that I could learn from or bounce ideas back and forth with or both.

Howdy doody. Welcome to the house of fun. 

There's tons of people to discuss these kind of things with, so don't be shy. 


Seriously, don't be shy. Nobody is a jerk here. I don't think it's allowed.

Welcome!


A small project is a perfect start. I wish you luck, can't wait to see it finished!

Thank you! I usually am kind of shy, but I'll try not to be. 

Welcome!

Thank you! It'll probably take me a while even though it's small, since I don't have a lot of free time, but I can't wait either! c:

Yeah, we don't bite and are all super friendly and honestly, there isn't much we can't do as a community.


Welcome! (Also if you need help, literally just ask, we can help you with ALOT, if your not sure, just PM someone like me or a mod, and they'll explain)

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you very much!

Welcome to the group!

I'd be more help with VXAce rather than MV, but it looks like that is what you use so I might be able to give a few pointers. Always willing to toss ideas back and forth though.

Thank you! I do use VX Ace, so any pointers would be great. I've been watching a lot of tutorials and enjoy eventing, but I haven't tried scripts or working with the battle system yet.

 

[Cadh20000]

Scripts are beyond me.
I can use a couple snippets such as one to be used in the "Conditional Branch" part of events that makes it activate only when the event is on a certain square on the map. (Though to be honest I need to look that one up every time, I just made sure to save it where I can find it easily when needed)


The snippet I'm talking about is :


($game_map.events[@event_id].x == 1) && ($game_map.events[@event_id].y == 9)


The actual numbers are the map coordinates for it to activate at, just change them to whatever coordinates you need.

You can find out a certain square's coordinates without counting all the sqaures by clicking on it and looking at the area I circled and pointed the arrow at in this screenshot.
