RPG Maker XP animate double picture layer

[maarten]

Hi everything.


I want an event that is autorun when an second autorun event layer is upper side. But I have an script for my title screen see here.


http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=12465.0


To do is things as Conditional Branch to choose load game or new game or start game. Such as an image or sound. And that is not working. Can you help me.

I have now an next question. How to script an event with new game or load game.

 

[Heretic86]

In response to your first question, there are a couple of ways you can do this.  First is with the "Conditions" section of the Event.  For example, give an Event two Pages.  Page 1 does an Autorun, then turns on Self Switch A.  Page 2 is also set to Autorun, but set Self Switch A as a Condition.  Page 2 won't run until Self Switch A is set to On.


The other way is to trick an Event to run with a Script Call from another Event, which works on ANY Event, not just Autorun Events.


$game_map.events[event_id].start


$game_map.events[24].start


Could you please explain your 2nd question a bit better?

Your scripts &game_map.events[24].start get an error when I press Conditional Branch C. It gives


NoMethodError occured while running script.


Undefined method start for nil:Nilclass.


Can you help me Heretic.

That means Event 24 doesnt exist.  Change the number to the number of the Game Event you want to do in the script call.


As far as detecting if a game has been loaded, you can use a Global Variable.  One of the rare times that I will suggest using them.  In Event -> Scripts on the Title Screen somewhere, just add one line that says


Script: $foo = true


Then, after loading, put in a Conditional Branch and another script:


Condition: $foo == true


  Script: $foo = false


end

It says now Syntaxerror. How can I fix it. And how can I change the number of the event.

 

[Heretic86]

You dont change the Number of the Event.  Up at the very top of the Event Editor Window, it should say something like Edit Event - ID:017, its right above the Name, which defaults to the ID number, so here you would see EV017 as the Name.  Dont change Event IDs themselves, just in the script calls.


When we say use a Script and put down


$game_map.events[123]


That means you should change 123 to what ever your Event ID is.


Now, for the Syntax Error, most likely you put in a Conditional Branch -> Script with the word "if".  In the Conditional Branch -> Script, dont use the word "if", just stuff like "$foo == true" but without the " characters.

Here is an video about the problem.










The options bar is the problem to take it to autorun. I have do that. But the glitch changed that problem. The New Game and Continue options are not animated. And stop it with one animation.  Anyway I have also looked at the Megaman Battle Network 4 5 6 4.5 sounds. Is there anyone that has an web for it. I can never found this things.

Changing the title exactly.

I want have the pictures on the title screen animated. Press Start works with double picture layer. But now the Continue New Game and little fade in one.
