Reset events on area change.

[The_Black_Knight]

So, I have enemies that walk a round the map, and once fought dissapear. I would like for these enemies to be reset on map change, which would at the moment require the transition to somehow changes all the enemies Self-Switches off. How on earth would I go around doing this?

So to elaborate, at the moment when an enemy is encountered, their script switches their Self-Switch to A, which activates the event page that turns them off and invisible.

You could use a script call in the event used to change map. In the said script call you can change the value of all your events self switches:

var eventList = [id1, id2, id3, etc]; // change these to be the IDs of your events
eventList.foreach = function(id) {
  $gameSelfSwitches.setValue([$gameMap.mapId(), id, 'A'], false);
};

More about MV script calls can be found in this thread, that also contains an example similar to the one I used.

NOTE: be sure to place this BEFORE the transfer player command.

that is where you went wrong.

remove the self-switch and the second page and just use the "erase event" command.
The switches make this permanent, if you erase the event from memory it will be automatically reloaded if you leave and re-enter the map.

Ah thanks, yeah didn't think of this, as I originally had them leaving corpses behind, but decided against it later.

Thanks for your help!
