NPC's - Adding Character to Party

[xXDarkShadowHeartXx]

Can anybody help me

I'm trying to create an event that add's a new character to the player's party, I can successfully create the event that adds the new character to the party but I don't know how to permanently erase it so that it can't happen more than once, I want to know how to complete the event   so that when I leave to the room the event is erased so that when I re-enter that room the event doesn't sill exist and can be triggered again. How do I make it so the event only occurs the first time I trigger it. I'm quite new to this software so I need a more detailed explanation of how do things like this.

Check out the tutorials: http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/support/tutorial/rpg-maker-vx-ace  and GrandmaDeb's tutorials: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/15135-a-list-of-tutorials-for-beginners/?hl=grandmadeb#entry162617

These two guides helped me a lot (I've only had the program a month) and its worth it to go through them as they answer A LOT of questions.

EDIT: Trying to do a few things at once and didn't pay attention to which tutorial I was linking.

That list was compiled by GrandmaDeb, not me. My "starting point for Beginners" is linked in my signature.

What you need is a multi-page-event.

Add a second page to the event you have so far, leave that page empty (and without sprite) but place the condition "Self-Switch A is ON" (or a different self-switch if you're already using A for something).

Then in your original event page, in the line after adding the actor to the party, you add the command "control self-switch A to ON".

If that tip doesn't help, please post a screenshot of all event pages and we'll tell you where to correct them.

Thanks, for the help I think I've got it working correctly now.
