[Eventing]Creating a job, Step by Step tutorial. Options

[The Tao]

Okay what I will be showing you is how to create an event which will allow you to have a job

What you will need to understand:
Switches
Variables (Kind of)

Our aim is to have a job that will be completed but then not available until 50 steps are walked.

- Firstly create an event and give it a graphic of something that will talk and employ you.

[Show/Hide] Click here for an example

- Now give it some text asking you if you wanna work. And then do the choices....

[Show/Hide] Example

- Now we want to create a switch so you can't apply again until you've finished the job.

[Show/Hide] Example

- Now create a new page with a requirement of the switch you just created and turned on. Then put in some text like this

[Show/Hide] Example

- Now create the warrior to talk to next to or on the same map as this event and once you've spoken to him he triggers a switch like so:

[Show/Hide] Example

- Now go back onto the event which is your boss, and create a page that requires the switch named 'Finished Job' or your equivalent. and give him some text, also put in change gold. You're also going to have to create a few switches and a variable.

[Show/Hide] Example

- Then go back to your first page and set a requirement of 'job available' as a switch. And a control switch command to turn off 'Finished job' switch.

[Show/Hide] Example

- Now create a page with the requirements of a switch 'Count Steps' and text saying that there's no work yet, then some variables are to be created.

[Show/Hide] Example

- Now create another new page with requirements for a switch of 'Count Steps' and a variable of '0003: Count Steps 3' to be 50 or above. With switches of Count Steps being turned off and Job Available being turned on.

[Show/Hide] Example

- Lastly create a new event not page on parallel process it doesn't have to have any graphic and it turns on 'Job available' switch, then turns a self switch on, which you then create a new page and leave it blank, but have the new page require whichever self switch you turned on.

[Show/Hide] Example

And there you have it. You should now have a working job.

Good tutorial but the images don't show up so I can't really make much sense of it!

Maybe it's just this computer but yeah.

This is a good tutorial, but I have one question.

When you were working with the TookJob switch and what not, couldn't you have just used a conditional branch? Or would that not have worked?

[VxOsx]

I believe he could have used a conditional branch, but then that might alter how the rest of the system works

It might, but I think it'll still end up with the same result.

[The Tao]

Well either way if it does change the end result this is the way I prefer to do it.

Only if this was for VX...

[Ninjuit]

Only if this was for VX...

I believe that almost all eventing(if not all of it) from RMXP transfers to RMVX. I learned to use VX in like 3 minutes because I used XP. So this should work in both...but Im to lazy to try.

[Automaton]

yea, vx eventing is easier but makes it a bit hard to do xp eventing again, i cant even remember how to have a fire moving...
on topic though, great topic this should be very helpful
