Little question...

[Ice Bear]

I am currently running Windows 8 with RPG Maker VX Ace and I am trying to make other monsters disappear after I won the battle. The four blank squares represents the enemy, I already managed to get them appear after a certain event, but how do I make them disappear after I won the battle?

Here is what I did so far:

This only makes the main slime disappear after I win, the other three still stay. I tried using self-switches, but they disappear when I talk to them. Any ideas?

Also. After I won the battle, I want to make the person on the corner come up to the player and tell them that they are going to "place" and they disappear along with the other two party members.

switches and self-switches are the key to the problem, but we can only guess what you did wrong because you did not show all event pages.


My guess is that you mixed up the difference between switches (game-based) and self-switches (event-based): The self switch of an event can never affect a different event, only the event they're in.


Please show all your event pages, then we can see where you need to make corrections.

Okay! I'll show more screenshots.

Self switches are local to the event. Turning on a self switch on one event does not affect what happens on other events.


If your troop consists of 4 slimes and you have events for them all, use a switch rather than a self switch to turn them off.


Also, you don't need the first page of your slime events. Having a page with no sprite and no conditions, then a second page with a sprite and conditions, is exactly the same as having just the second page with the sprite and no conditions. You don't have to have a first page to say "don't show anything if the conditions on the other pages aren't met".

The first page is blank for a reason. They won't appear after I finish the quest for granny. If I delete that page, then their sprites will show up.

No, they won't.


You NEVER need a blank first page with no conditions.


If they do show up, it's because you're turning the switch back off again OR because you've used a self switch instead of a global switch to signify "battle won".

EDIT: Nevermind! Found out that the self-switches and switches were messing me up. I had to re-read what you guys said about those two switches. You can close this thread now.

No, they won't.

Ah, I see, it is a waste of space. After all, I had transparency set to OFF.

You might benefit by taking a look at the link in Andar's signature. Some of the tutorials here have good explanations of the most basic stuff (including switches & self switches).
