Like it! And I get it. :-) Love the awesome switch too ;-)

Like I said, that is supposed to happen. The game doesn't store any of the event's movements. To get what you want, I usually make dummy/placeholder events and set the condition to a switch. Turn on the switch at the end of your first event's first page. Then, make a second page to all the events that are supposed to "move", and set the condition to the switch. After that, make another event for each character you wanted to move, with the condition set to the switch. If done correctly, this will give the illusion that the event "moved". To summarize, you have to do it all manually. Magic, could you please put up some screen shots showing all of this. I am new to making cut scenes as well and seeing this visually would be extremely helpful.

Cool. Is it alright to change the main actor's graphic to the bad guy's throughout the game whenever you want to have a scene with just the bad guys in it... like at their secret base or something.

I don't know why he wasn't showing up either but I finally found a way around the problem. I do not know if it is the best way around it though. I decided to change my actor 1's graphic to Brandon's. So instead of having to worry about Brandon's character showing up, I just had the actor 1 in his stead. Then, the actor 1 did everything. Then, I put in the self switch the stop the event and I faded out the screen. While the screen was faded out, I transferred actor 1 to the field map, changed his graphic to look like the hero's again, and then faded the screen back in. It actually worked! The only problem is that I am curious as to how this would work if I have cut scenes in the future where more then one character is needed.

@ Magic2345 - I did not set a condition for his event because I was trying to place it at the beginning of the game. So you'd hit "new game" and this was supposed to immediately pop up. Should I still have a condition set? I am totally new at RPG Maker. Right now, I'm basically playing around with the system and seeing how things work. I wanted to make this scene and then have it switch to the field map. I wanted to learn how to make a scene without the main character present so that when I do actually make a game, I could include cut scenes in the game where bad guys are talking or traps are being set, or whatever else may be happening in the world while the hero's party is else where. I will put the self switch in to stop the event from running after the first go round. What would I need to do to change it back to field map after this?

@ Wren - Thank you! The condition facing up worked like a charm! The other portion is still a problem but thinking about it... I think I figured out why it's doing it and maybe... just maybe that'll help us find a solution. It only goes to the left when my characters have moved the bookcase to the right and have walked through the secret location. If I move the bookcase and then close it back... walking out and coming back in has no affect. It'll just move to the right again like it's supposed to. So what I think is happening is that the program is recognizing that it moved to the right when I opened the secret entrance... but then isn't recognizing that it should reset when I exit the building through the secret location. So that next time I come into the building... the graphic has been reset but the command is following the move back to the left event because it thinks that that should be next in the list of things to do still. So.... is there some way to reset the event when my characters exit the location. That way, the event will be completely reset and then the bookcase will know to move to the right again like it's supposed to.

Also, if I ever used a script like this for a game? Could I use it in a commercial game since it was created by someone else or no? I am totally new to scripting and everything RPG Maker related. :-) So please enlighten me.

I am jumping onto this because it sounds awesome! :-) As far as scripts go, where would I add a script to take advantage of it?

@ Human Ninja - Thank you. I made the change and it worked like a charm. :-)

Here's what I have. So far, it allows me to keep getting spears over and over. I want it to allow me to get only one spear and then turn off.

Thanks guys! So I got it to where I could get a spear from the crate. I could not get it, however, to stop giving me spears. Every time I clicked on the crate, I got another spear. LOL! Can we say infinite gold? I followed the commands that you guys gave to a tee. Is there anything else that I might be missing that will stop the sequence once I get the first spear?

@ Lolipop - I'm trying! :-) I feel so stupid right now though. I just tried to add a hidden item to a crate in my village using events. I set it up as follows: @>Text: -,-, Normal, Bottom : : looted a Spear. @>Change Weapons: [spear] + 1 @>Erase Event But.. nothing happened. I'm sure that it's an error on my part. :-P But I do not know where to start. I am trying though! :-P

@ Lolipop - Believe you me.... I am going to need lots of patience. I have figured out a few things but I am still having some trouble making city maps, etc. The ones I've made so far do not feel "right" to me. I have a looooooooooooong way to go but I am researching things like side battle systems for the future. :-)

Thank you so much! I'm just getting started with RPG Maker. Right now, I am just playing around with the system and making games for fun. If I ever tried to make one to sell on steam, however, would I be able to legally use scripts like this? Or no? From what I've read, I know that there can be issues with copy right laws for lots of things.

Thank you so much! I am looking at it right now! :-)
