[aviayaso]

[lahandi]

I tried putting it on the water and on the dock and grass land but when i still go to click on it, it doesn't work.

Hmm, send me the link of your uploaded game file, so that I can checked it. It should be open project (*.rvproj).

It Worked! Thanks for the very usefull tutorial Keep up the good work
But can u like change the graphic of the character? So that your character is like holding a fishing rod when fishing and when you caught a fish u see him cheering with a fish over his head or maybe a time bar. I know it's a bit much but is it possible, and if it is, how?

1. Create 4 item.
{a} Fishing rod. [ Scope: none \\ Occasion: Only from the menu \\ Consumable: No ]
{b} Bait. [ Scope: none \\ Occasion: Only from the menu \\ Consumable: No ]
{c} Common fish. [ Scope: one ally \\ Occasion: Always \\ Consumable: Yes ]
{d} Rare fish. [ Scope: one ally \\ Occasion: Always \\ Consumable: Yes ]
For the {c} and {d} we add what kind of effect we wanted after it consumed ( HP recovery, increasing Spirit, MP recovery, or anything ).
( i still got some probs whit the reply sistems o i put it red)

Why yes, if you make it consumable then your charactar can eat the bait? I don't think that's right (Correct me if i'm wrong, i'm just new to RPG Maker )

Yes it is possible.

1. Prepare the Actor graphic holding the fishing rod. Lets name it the RalphRod graphic.
2. Prepare the Actor graphic with the fish lifted. Lets name it the RalphFish graphic.
3. Put the command 'Change actor graphic' before the Wait command. Change it to RalphRod graphic. We can see there's 3 kind of probability, so we should made it in each branch.
4. Put the command 'Change actor graphic' after the Wait command. Change it to RalphFish graphic. Put it in in the Common Fish and Rare Fish probability.
5. To neutralize the actor, put the command 'Change actor graphic' again after the Text command. Change it to the normal actor spriteset. Put it in each 3 probabilities branch.

I havent check this yet. But I think that is enough as a raw guideline. Hope it helps.

For those who still didn't understand the application of the basic conditional branches command for fishing, I hope this one could helps.


Concept

To be able to do fishing, the player should have fishing rod and the bait at the same time. Everytime the player try to fishing, the bait quantity is decreased 1 unit. Then, we want to have 2 kind of fish. One is the common fish, other is the rare fish. And there's possibility the fish run away. We want to create 7 probability, and the probability is like this : Common fish (4/7); Rare fish (1/7); The fish run away (2/7).


Execution

1. Create 4 item.
{a} Fishing rod. [ Scope: none \\ Occasion: Only from the menu \\ Consumable: No ]
{b} Bait. [ Scope: none \\ Occasion: Only from the menu \\ Consumable: No ]
{c} Common fish. [ Scope: one ally \\ Occasion: Always \\ Consumable: Yes ]
{d} Rare fish. [ Scope: one ally \\ Occasion: Always \\ Consumable: Yes ]
For the {c} and {d} we add what kind of effect we wanted after it consumed ( HP recovery, increasing Spirit, MP recovery, or anything ).

2. Choose a spot for the fishing activities. Create an event there. Make like this:


3. Copy the fishing event in several places that is possible for fishing activities.

4. Create an NPC that will give or sell Fishing Rod & Bait.

5. Finish.
