Trigger: an event touches another event Options

[DarkAlexander]

Hello,

My name is Alessandro and I am currently involved in a university project that aims to mix two fields known as Adaptive Systems and Game Thoery. For the first time I would like to try to use RPG Maker XP in order to conduct a real experiment. Being a computational neuroscientist my informatics preparation is not that strong, but I would like at least to try (it shouldn't be harder than just using MatLab!).

So far I would like ask you something: there is a way to set a trigger for an even to that that event starts when another event (and not the character) touches it? The point is I would like to create a sort of 'ecosystem', where the animals can in a certain way interact one with each other. Ah, another simplier request: there is a way to eliminate the main menu (the starting one, when you run the game).

Thank you in advance!

P.S.
My first language is not English so if you find some languange mistakes feel free to correct me.
