Common Events & Events in General

Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

So, typically I just browse and browse and browse until I finally find something that gets through my thick skull and makes it so painfully obvious I can't miss it, but with the current circumstances I don't have the time to sit at my PC and do that. So I figured I would finally cave in and actually ask for help.

 

So, I'm still relatively new to RPG Maker, but I've gotten a pretty good handle on everything except events. My biggest problem is common events.

 

I spoiler'd all my images just because they're relatively large.

 

So, basically whats happening is - I need to make a step counter. Now, I've found posts about the built in step counter and it works. So I guess actually my problem isn't the steps. I can make a normal map based event and set it up like this:

Which successfully activates my other event:

but when I put the exact same code in a common event, for the life of me I cannot get it to work.

I'm not 100% sure what the condition switch is and I can't find any kind of documentation on it to help me either. The way I understand it is that since its on Parallel Process it should just run in the background. But it doesn't seem to do that for me.

 

It's clear there is another step I need to take with common events but idk what it is and I can't seem to *easily* locate anything on what it is.

 

Please and thank you for any help you can shed on the subject to help me out >.<

 

Jusblazm, out.

did you turn on the control switch for the common event?

the condition switch enables the execution of the common event. this is good if you have many common events and don't have a super computer :P as it reduces cpu demands as well as ram.

After reading your post and toying around with common events some more I noticed that the control switch you were talking about was actually the condition switch. It states in order for the common event to run you have to have its condition switch turned on.

 

Thank you.
