Item taking error

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

Ok, so I have a money shack that you can take in the second map and I got an envelope that you can take too in the first map. When I take the money shack in the second map, you take the bag, but the envelope opens...

Uh, help?

 

[kiedisticelixer]

You mean two different events trigger each other? Huh... How about you show us the rest of the pages? I dont understand whats happening

 

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

What do you mean? The other events?

 

[Andar]

he most probably didn't scroll through the pictures for the other event pages...


Unfortunately, no one can help you until you describe what the problem is - and your description in the first post is a bit short and rather confusing.


Please rewrite it in a way that makes it obvious what should happen and what really happens instead.

 

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

If you take the money shack, the picture shows.. It should show at the start when you take the envelope, but it just shows when you take that money shack for some reason :/ It should just add you some gold and you to say "Who knows, maybe i'll need it" It says it, but the picture from the envelope shows up

This description still is confusing. Please make it two different text blocks, one explaining what should happen and one explaining what does happen.
And please give details, something like "the picture shows..." neither tells WHICH picture nor WHERE it shows.

What should happen:

When you take the

money shack, you

should say "Who knows,

maybe i'll need this." and

add 10 gold.

What is happening:

When you take it,

you get the 10 gold

and you say "Who

knows, maybe i'll need this."

but "the picture shows"

and if I click enter

it just stays here and I

say "Who knows, maybe i'll need this".

Just a loop.

PS: Don't ask me why did I pressed so many enters.

 

[Andar]

but "the picture shows"

OK, once again - there is no text in either events that reads "the picture shows".
Either there is a third event involved that you didn't show here, or that is no text displayed but a comment from you, in that case we need to know which picture shows where.


So please explain that part of your description - is that a text disülayed? if yes, where is the event where that text comes from?


Does that sentence refers to a sprite being visible that should not be visible? if yes, which picture is that?


And get rid of the parallel process in the second page of the money event - it would be best if you move all commands from the second page to the first and delete it completely, because nothing there requires a parallel process. and if you're concerned about the millisecond of the sprite showing before the text, then make it autorun. A parallel process should only be used if you know exactly what you're doing, and I'm afraid you don't know yet, you're lacking experience with that...

 

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

Not sure whats disülayed, but it's just normal text after you take the money. And the picture is the one on the envelope, you can see it in the screenshots, tried changing parallel process to autorun, nothing though.

 

[Andar]

Not sure whats disülayed,

A typo, i wanted to write displayed
If there is a normal text that writes "the picture shows", then that is not part of the events you gave.


Please show us the event where you have the text command "the picture shows".

 

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

No.. the text is "Who knows, maybe i'll need this." and by "the picture shows" I mean

And please give details, something like "the picture shows..." neither tells WHICH picture nor WHERE it shows.

Or did I get this wrong?

 

[Andar]

the last post (if you don't edit it again) is the perfect example for the problem I have:

No.. the text is "Who knows, maybe i'll need this." and by "the picture shows" I mean


Or did I get this wrong?

Your sentence is broken, and you never finished it after the "I mean" - what did you mean by that sequence?

The "I mean" and then the quote...

 

[Andar]

OK, I'll stop trying to help you. The quote was just the same question that I asked before, nowhere you ever gave an answer to that question.


And if you refuse to answer our questions, then we can't help you.


Good luck trying to find someone else willing to help you, if you continue to refuse giving answers that describe your problem. We cannot read your mind, you have to tell us what happens on your computer - and tell us that in complete, detailed sentences instead of wild phrases.

 

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

Refuse to give you ans.. Dafuq? Lolwut, I just got it wrong.. The picture from the start, from the envelope shows

Like Andar said, it is rather difficult for us to understand exactly what you are trying to do.

However it looks to me like your events are more complex than they need to be.  I would personally just have 2 pages on each event.  On the first page of the event is where everything is done (basically combine all of the actions of your current page 1 and page 2) and then set the self switch so that the second page is completely blank (what your page 3 is at the moment).

You really don't need to do a couple of bits of an event and then change a page to do the rest of it if it is all going to be part of one action, ie: the player interacts with the item.

If you wanted to provide me with a link to your project (just upload it somewhere) and include some instructions of what maps I should be looking at, then I can download it and run through what is currently happening and how we might be able to fix it.

 

[Oo_TWISTER_oO]

Thanks, but I fixed it by editing some stuff.
