How do we back up in an event menu?

[LUTOPiAgameCompany]

I made a menu tree in an event, but the back button is not working like the baked-in menus of the game. Been fidgeting with switches and other options without any results. Online tutorials yield nothing about event menu trees, only regular baked-in menus.

I'll display what I've worked on so far, as you can see, I can't get back to the Inn branch when I'm done with Inn business. In the game, after I am done either renting a room, denying to rent a room or getting rejected due to lack of funds, the text boxes disappear and nothing else happens.

Im not sure I fully understand, you want to be able to progress through the text with OK key, and back up through the text with BACK lkey??

Yes, I want to be able to get trackback in the event-created tree as I can with the baked-in menus in the game or at least be able to put something at the end of the branches that gets me back to the branch fork; like after staying at the Inn, I would see the Inn choices again.

This is a super basic feature in all RPGs and I can't believe that it is this much trouble to implement it. I must be missing some simple solution.

 

[Skunk]

The Inn one is easy, just set up new choices for after the "fade in screen" in the in event.
but as for physically reversing the order in which event commands are displayed, I'm not sure its possible without some sort of customized plugin, but the issue with that is it wouldn't just back up the dialogue boxes it would back up everything in the command chain.

 

[LUTOPiAgameCompany]

Loops. The answer was Loops. I was overthinking it.

 

[Skunk]

Does't that just repeat the commands though? how does that allow you to back up through them in reverse?

You put the fork part of the conversation in a loop, so every dead end will go back to the beginning of that fork and you can even use the back button to backtrack on that entire branch!
When you reach an option where you don't want it to bounce back, just add a Break Loop right above it.
Super simple and perfect for my particular style. Here's what it looks like:
