Resetting Map Events

[silent_drew]

So I've got enemy encounters setup as events on the map, and I'm looking for a way to to setup an event that resets them. Does anyone know a good way to implement this? BTW, I don't want them to automatically reset every time the player switches maps.


Right now I'm thinking that I could have all of them use Self Switch D to indicate if the enemy has been defeated, and then find a way to reset SelfSwitch D for all events, but I don't know if there's a way to do that.

I would give each encounter three event pages as follows:

Page 1 - Turn self switch D off.
Page 2 - Conditions are switch X being on. This is the page with the troop encounter. After the encounter, turn self switch D on.
Page 3 - Conditions are switch X being on and self switch D being on. No event commands.

Switch X should initially be on. To reset all encounters, turn it off for one turn, then on again.

OK, so I tested it out and there's a big problem: it only resets events in the current map.

Hmm... if you want to reset multiple maps, this should work. Set up the encounter events as described above, but instead of switch X, have one switch per map. All switches start on, and the reset switch turns them all off. On the tile next to the reset switch, and the second tile of each map, turn back on the switch for that map only. That will give each encounter event time to respond to its map's switch being off and reset its own self switch.

that does work, though it looks a bit weird to have enemies reappear only after taking a step into the level... maybe it's better this way though...
