I really don't know what I'm doing help please?? >.<

Hello, so I don't know if someone can help me or not, but I thought I'd try. I recently got RPG Maker MV, and it's my first time using anything like this. With that said I need help figuring out how to get some ideas to work. I apologize if these are really dumb questions >.<

Ideas

1. Having the player characters that are not chosen, be available as companion/party members in the main plot of the story. (So if I choose "x" character instead of "z" or "y" than "z" characters story arc will replace "x")
   • Note: I currently have 12 characters that I'd like to do this with. 6 girls and 6 guys.
     
2. In my game I want to have a ton of quests/side quests, maybe even some repeatable quests. Is that even possible and how would I go about doing it in a less hair pulling out kinda way.
   
   
3. Changing party members. So I know how to easily chance a party member, but I want to make a map, that is like a guild house that I can go in and choose "z" character, and have them instead of being in there room, only be in my party, alternatively I also want to be able to dismiss party members and have them appear back in there respective room.
   
   
4. Can I have events triggered by which ever party member are in your party?

(Thought of another question to ask.)
5. Are adding gathering/craft skills possible? How would they be possible?

You are better off asking one question per thread or you'll end up with half a dozen conversations happening over each other.

I suggest you work through some tutorials. Everything you're asking is very easy to do - most of it will be using conditions on event pages, or the Conditional Branch command, or switches, which are all basic building blocks of RPG Maker, so you should spend at least a bit of time trying to figure it out yourself.

I believe there is a tutorial mode with MV now, so perhaps try running that.

Good point! I didn't think about that. As for conditional branches I'm not sure how to go about using those could you maybe link me to a good example of how to use them?

Go through some tutorials first, which will be bound to cover them, then see what you still don't understand.

Jeez! Start small! Don't do THAT for you first game. Do hide and seek or something.

Lol. Your right, I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but I'm more so just wanting to learn things, It may not go into the game I make, but I love gaining new knowledge :3
