Um hi! o v o
I'm very new to mv and very clueless
I need help with lights! Like what the title says,
how to make the lights turn on and off when the player presses a wall switch or whatever switch (lever, ,,)???
I have no experience with scripts and not much with the actual program so replies with screenshots would really help me T w T

that has nothing to do with scripts, that is pure eventing - just condition those lights (they're event's I assume?) to a switch, and have the event that displays the tile-switch on the map change that same switch by control switch event command.

If you're completely new to the maker, I suggest you follow the link to the starting point in my signature and work through those tutorials.

Thank goodness it's not script related T w T , , ,i kinda get what you're saying but I barely have any idea how to connect the lights o a switch o n o,,,I downloaded a plugin that's called terrax I think , I placed it on a lamp, I really have no idea how to turn it off T . T

then you need to read the script description of how to use that script - eventing only works if you create the lights based on events.

@milchiah -. Welcome to RPGMaker! Glad you are eager and off to making some things happen, but I strongly suggest following Andars tutorial links before you start installing plugins.

Gaining a strong grasp of those basics will help you a lot before you start messing with things changing the core engine.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
