Picture that wasn't supposed to be appearing

[pizzacheeks26]

So in the first maps of my game, a picture (let's call this picture "A") is supposed to always appear. The picture A must appear and keep showing (the player must always see that picture) but only in 5 maps. In those 5 maps, lots of other events and pictures appear.
After those 5 maps, the picture A must not ever appear in the game anymore. Sorry if it is confusing, but anyways.

The issue is: after those 5 maps, the picture A keeps appearing every time any picture appears. I cannot remove or erase picture A, and every time i try to show picture B or C the picture A appears on top of it.

Completely removing picture A seems to work, but i would rather not do that. I want to know if there is a way to stop the picture A appearing on places it should not, (which is after those 5 maps).

Show us screenshots of your events and we can tell you where you made mistakes.

You have to erase the picture when you no longer want it to appear, and you also have to stop whatever event was making it appear in the first place.

My guess is you have a parallel process map event or common event that shows the picture and you haven't disabled it.

I've fixed this by creating another event dedicated into starting and erasing the picture. I originally was trying to make a common event with a parallel process, probably that is why picture A would show every time i would try to create any pictures.

The player would go twice by the autorun event, the first time it would show me picture, but on the second time with a switch ON , which would have the erase picture command. I'm not sure if that fixed it, because i've also changed the picture A number and picture erasing number.

Sorry for being dumb and not paying attention. This thread is not needed to me anymore.

and you also have to stop whatever event was making it appear in the first place.

Thank you for that.

Please show us your events. Just because it works at the moment doesn't mean you've fixed it. And it sounds like it's a bit messy. If you show us what you've done, we can tell you whether it's right or not, and if it's not, we can explain why and tell you how to fix it.

Always better to admit you don't know, and ask for help, and learn something along the way, than trying to find your way in the dark.

It sounds exactly like I expected it would be.
