How do I activate an action button event, and have it do something, and then when that event ends, it does something else different when I activate it again, and never does the first event another time?

Essentially I want to have an action button event perform an action, and then after that action ends, when I activate it again it is different and it stays different forever from then on?

THNX IN ADVANCE!

This is lulzy.

This is spam - verbal warn ~ kaz

I've only had this program for 2 days...

only helpful comments please...

There are several problems with this topic, 1) You should be able to find things out on your own. Messing 2 days with the program and asking a question here, isn't that very smart. 2)You put this in the complete wrong section, and please don't say "I'm new here I don't know." Get some eyes, and some dignity. I hate people who are too lazy to find things out for themselves. I hope you define this as "helpful"

However, to answer your question it's called self switches, once your event is done, go into self switches put self switch A on. Then make a new event page, and go into the left top corner, and should say self switches. Then put self switch A, and your all done. I found this out myself. I did not ask anyone for this, Do not ask questions so early.

Hi Yellow, I'm pretty new to it all myself and I found this link really helpful:

http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/pc/articles/52234.aspx

She has a few articles written and they cover all the basics, just look up her profile to see everything she's written.

That's not very welcoming ! We want people to stay not feel they can't ask for help!

@ yellowdesertsun.

We have an eventing forum that will help you with any issues you may have. Plus there is a search button at the top of the forum ( of course that is only any good if you have a rough idea what yoo should be searching for)

VX itself has a good help section as well, although I found just messing around trying different ideas helps.

We also have some rather good tutorials on eventing that you might find usefull in the Tutorials and examples section.

Kaz, I don't know how you deal with these kinds of people, people who are too lazy to check the help file or experiment with a project for at least a month before asking questions. If it was up to me, I would have closed this topic and laughed.

Also previously, that was not spam. I was expressing my opinion towards the topic. It is very funny, if you think about it.

It was short and off topic and therefore spam

I have the patience of a saint didn't you know that - despite the abuse hurled at me from time to time.

Like I said before we want people to stay and not everyone knows how to use forums. We have now offered advice on where to get help!

And that's why we're all thankful it's not up to your discretion, Scriptless. Not everybody is capable of figuring things out for themselves immediately and some people do require help whether you like it or not. Spending the time to post what may be considered as insults to the user isn't particularly a good way to greet somebody. Nor is spam.

YellowDesertSun, I'm not sure whether you've noticed but there is a brief guide included with RMVX. You can press F1 or alternatively go to Help and then Contents. Although it's not the most detailed in terms of the information it provides, it should be useful for beginners like yourself. Once you've learnt the basics you should be able to pick things up by yourself and become an eventing whizz-kid.

Good luck!

Well, good thing I am not in charge, or else I would have had you banned for blasphemy

Funs over and patience of a saint isn't blasphemy it's a compliment!

(Don't even think that's against the rules anyhow and not instaban)

Back on topic pretty please-

Was talking to last poster kaz lol.

I'm too smart to threaten an admin. Well.. generally speaking.

Ah right I thought I may have offended someone -

Haha to the second line - now please back on topic

Apologies yellow we seem to have hijacked your thread- arguing your case mind you.

Okay.. you got 2 event pages right...
You should either use Self Switches *Page 1 on event commands
or use switches *Page 1 on event commands
Control Switches uses one of the 5,000 max switches you can have on your game
and use a conditional branch *Page 1 on event commands
to get special events.... most commonly used is self switches
With self switches you can do example:
EventPage1
@> Text: "Something"
@> Control Self Switch: A = True
then make a new page
EventPage2
Conditions: Self Switch A is on
@> Text: "You already talked to me!"
@> Control Self Switch: A = False
If A = False then it will not run event page 2... it will return to 1
if you are using switches and not Self Switches
EventPage1
@> Conditional Branch: Switch[100] == true
@> Then
@> Text: "Hello"
@> Control Switches: 100 = true
@> Else
@> Text: "Why are you here?"
@> Branch End

I've got it working!

thanks to the nice people!
