Something that's puzzling me about vehicles...

[aliensalmon]

It says on the FAQs that random encounters don't happen when you're in a vehicle. However, I was able to get random encounters while on a boat in my game - something that I wanted anyway. However, I'm a bit concerned because if I was able to get random encounters on the boat, then I probably couldn't avoid them in an airship.

I suppose my questions are:

How were random encounters on a boat possible in my game? I suspect it had something to do with the region IDs I set over the water tiles, but I just want to verify.

And will I be able to avoid random encounters on an airship? That's something that I also want.

You are looking at the FAQ for VX, not VX Ace. (In fact, I don't even see one for VX Ace - maybe they were deemed to be similar enough, but in this instance they do not behave the same way).


In VX, there were no random encounters if you were in a vehicle.


In VX Ace, there are no random encounters if you are in the airship. There is no special handling for other vehicle types, so encounters ARE possible if you have the regions set.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the info!
