Monster Getting Me?

[Dacuna]

So I want to get a monster trying to catch me, and when he does, it's game over, so I need to run.

I thought I could just make the monster event trigger with "Player Touch", but that doesn't work because when I stand still, he's standing right next to me and he can't get me because I have to walk towards him.

I'm pretty sure there's a way, but how?

One more thing, how do I make the person's name above the text box and how do I change the colour of the words?

Try Event Touch instead. the event triggers when the event touches YOU.

Okay, it works!

For some reason I thought that meant it triggered it when another event touched the other.

Meh. :/

Glad to be of assistance

Hmm, one more thing though, a bit unrelated but I don't really want to make another post.

In my question, I also asked "One more thing, how do I make the person's name above the text box and how do I change the colour of the words?"

I saw it in a couple of RPGs.

Please do create another thread for a new question. Makes it easier for other people to search when they encounter the same problem.


If you want your actor's name above the text window, then you should find a custom message script. Yanfly's the most popular.

\C[number] - just change "number" to a number like 6. If you want to know which number changes into which color then just test them and check it in the preview window.

And as Celianna already mentioned for the name above the text box you need a script like this one http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/core-scripts/ace-message-system/

Here's the required command that has to be inside the message box to get the name above the message box

#  NameWindow: Effect:#    \n<x>     - Creates a name box with x string. Left side. *Note#    \nc<x>    - Creates a name box with x string. Centered. *Note#    \nr<x>    - Creates a name box with x string. Right side. *Note##              *Note: Works for message window only.
