I never understood what a Common Event is. It sounds self-explanatory, but it's really not. I don't see anything helpful in the Help of RPG Maker XP either ):

I'm pretty sure I could do some really interesting things with a Common Event, but I don't know what it's for or how to use it. Can someone explain it to me?

what i portray it as (i spelled it wrong didnt i? lol) is an event that you can bring up on any map instead of having to copy the entire event again... basically makes eventing easier
Yusshin
What kinds of events are possible in it, though?

The reason it suddenly peaked my interest was because of the SP Recovery possibility while walking. That's a Common Event. I'd like to see what else is possible with this part of the engine (that I've never used, since I didn't understand what it was for...)

You spelt it right, though smile.gif

every event is possible... it basically servs as an easy get to for events so you dont have to make a new one ... you just call common event and its done
Yusshin
Ah, okay.

A bit different question:

Is there a way to make enemies drop multiple items? A script, perhaps, for the Enemy / Troop / Battle menu?

I remember having seen a script which does that although I cannot remember where.

I wrote a tutorial about common events which you may find interesting: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=25440

*hugs*
Yusshin
Oh, thanks. I'll definitely look at that :]

I'm trying to better my mapping, too. Do you know where I can find some example maps (that are really, really good maps tongue.gif so I can learn off of it).

I'm'a snoop out tutorials atm, but if you know anything off-the-bat, I hope you'll share.

(I already know of willow's from Youtube, I'm subscribed to her :0 )

This topic is dead, too: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....hl=map+tutorial

Bunch of 404 errors / off-limits / page not found. There's barely any that work, and of those that do, they're not very good.

There's one in the Tons of Add-ons to make enemies drop many things, I think.
Yusshin
I saw that script earlier but I saw how big it is and I'm not sure if it'll come into conflict with The Law G14's scripts. The last time I was making a game, I ended up putting in a big script to make another script work, and it totally messed up beyond repair ):

I'll bookmark that, though, just in case I find out 100% if it's compatible.

(I have The Law G14's Menu, Shop, Status (Vesperia-style), Skill, and Save menu change scripts)

Is there a map show-off thread so I can get some feedback?
