text box loop

[Sharkguy1995]

ok, so I tried to create an event that would send my character back to a previous place. it transfers just fine, but when I get there, the opening dialogue continuously repeats, trapping the player in an endless loop of text boxes. I've exhausted my own (allbeit small) knowledge to fix it and still can't figure it out. can you help?

Please post a screen shot of the event involved. Give us the whole page, without cropping, as it could well be the information on the left side which is crucial. Also, please use Alt+PrtSc to take the image, that way we get just the active window and not the whole of your desktop, so it's a lot easier to see what's there.

You have the previous area set with an autorun or parallel process event. when those events are to be used only once, and when the event is finished you use self_switch A on. then make a new tab with self switch A set to on.
If you use erase event it only removes it for as long as you are on that map.

 

[Sharkguy1995]

The problem is that I have them set to switch on self switch A.

Again, we need some screenshots of how you exactly do it. Maybe, you set the it in the wrong page or so. We can't tell you what's wrong without you showing to us what have u done

 

[Sharkguy1995]

the first two are the intro cutscene it's stealing the dialogue from.

 

[Roninator2]

Did you inadvertently copy and paste the event into the town map?

 

[Sharkguy1995]

not to my knowledge. from what I can see, the only events existing in each area can be accounted for in a specific in-map use.

this isn't just a lost cause, is it?? I really want to fix this bug. I have so much more I want to accomplish in this game...

Patience, everyone works in different time zones. As it is, what you did is what we call double posting. Please don't do that in the future unless more than 72 hours have passed. That is to give everyone a fair shot at getting their questions answered.

I looked at the pages, and I don't see where you posted your page 2 of your intro event. Can you post a screenshot of that? Also check all events on the map you are transferring to and see if one of them is an old copy of the intro. And check the transfer event itself, maybe it is going to the wrong map.

In fact, can you also post a screenshot of your transfer event as well? That would help too.

 

[Sharkguy1995]

I apologize for the impatience I've shown. This is the first time I've done this, and to be honest, I've embarrassed myself quite a few times already... I've attached page two of the intro event. please, if there's anything else I can send to help, if you can tell me...

 

[Roninator2]

Try putting the self switch A just after the last text box.

 

[Sharkguy1995]

it still doesn't seem to be doing anything... is this normal to happen...?

 

[TheoAllen]

No, everything from your screenshot looks fine. Can't really tell what's wrong with it.
If you have time, we can talk in PM, let me check your project personally. And please do not check include RTP when compressing

 

[Sharkguy1995]

ok! but... you're gonna have to walk me through how to start it...

 

[Roninator2]

Click file -> Compress game data.
UNcheck create encrypted archive.

upload file to file storage site (mediafire, google drive, jumpshare, etc)
Send link to who you want to help you by PM.
If you put the link here anybody could get your project.

Ok, thank you.
