How to make an event reoccur every time a certain map is entered?

[hiddenrock44]

Hello.

I've got no experience with codes or anything of the sort, but I decided I wanted to try to make a game.

My problem is I want this same event to occur every time someone enters a certain area, but I run into one of two problems no matter what I try to do.

Basically, I want an object to act as a music player and I'd like for it to change the music playing in that area. I want the music to be changed every time it is approached whether I leave the area or not. When I try to make that happen I am either able to change the music one time only ((despite leaving and reentering the map)) or I am caught in an infinite loop of some sort.

And since I really have no idea what I'm doing I need advice from someone who does.

I'm probably making it a lot harder than it should be.

I will provide pictures of all the things I've got for my event in hopes it'll help.

And if you do help me, please try to explain things as simply as possible. I honestly don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know if this counts as too many pages or not.

I'm just trying anything I can think of.

Set it to autorun, last command should be erase event. That way it runs once every time you go to that map.


If you want it changeable everytime you activate the event, just make it Action triggered

I ((think I)) tried  what you said to do accurately.

Either I'm not doing it right or I am but I've also messed up elsewhere, too?

I am stuck in an infinite loop of "Music has been changed!" and I don't know why.

If you can't understand what Adiktuzmiko means :

Automatically start when the player is entering the map



Need to press action button in some object/NPC to make the event start

Your mistake is to have used "exit event processing" when the advice above was to use "erase event".
Those are two different commands

My way might be sloppy but it works. I've made a conditional script to display the name of your town based on players name and class type when you enter. 

I set page 1 to autorun, and use a switch. The reason is because I don't want the event to go off the very first time you enter that zone, but every other time after that i do, so when you want it to start happening whenever you enter that zone, just turn on that event page.

So at the end of the event, set switch to page 2 on parallel process.

This way when you walk into the room, it can automatically ask you if you want to change the song or not.

Then on your events used to exit the town or enter town from leaving a building, I turn off that events second page, and turn on page 1 again.

Take note on my text commands used to auto finish the messages without button press so the event doesn't freeze.

Those commands are here:

\V[x] Variable
\N[x] Name of Actor x
\P[x] Name of Party member x
\G Gold display
\C[x] Colour change
\i[x] Icon display
\{ Text size increase
\} Text size decrease
\. Wait 0.25 seconds
\| Wait full second
\! Wait until confirm button
\> Instant Text
\< End Instant Text
\^ Auto next page  <-------------------
\\ Display "\"

I use the \^ command at the end of my text message that displays the towns name, so that the message ends itself.

I would post my images for my scripts but I'm not allowed yet, as this is my first forum post.
