Have Player Search No Matter What

  1. What I have is a menu where the player can choose to search in front of them.  If there is an event obviously the event would be triggered, but if there is nothing there I would like it to post a text saying something along the line of "Nothing Is Unusual".  How would I do a Conditional Branch on this?
  2. If you have the event searching as the Condition being meet 'nothing unusal' would be the Else 

    Im not sure exactly what your asking but that is most likely what you want.
  3. How do I have event searching be the condition?
  4. The best would most likely be:

    Set up 2 common events 

    1-

    Condtional Branch: Varibale(Searching)=1

    > Searches Area

    >Found ____________

    >  Control Variable: Searching -1

    Else

    > Nothing was Found

    and

    Control Variable: Searching +1

    On all area with something on it you will Use both the Control Variable +1 and the Condtional Branch one, otherwise just use the Condtional Branch one.

    The Conrol Variable one MUST be first. This is how the game will recgonize something is there otherwise you will always get the (Nothing) Message.

    Of course you can manuly enter both, but if you use per say a item to call the common events forth then you would have to  be a little more creative. For example you would most likely need to use a the control variable random 1,0 in order to randomize the chance OR have the terrian that does not procure anything have a -1 Event to your variable before it actives the conditonal branch.
  5. I see what you are doing but wouldn't I also have to place this conditional branch beneath an input trigger conditional branch?

    If I understand correctly I will also need to adjust this variable on each searchable event correct?
  6. 1- Yeah that would most likely help :p

    and 2 yeah only way I can think of to do it easily.
  7. I appreciate it Manalord.  I will test it out.

    If someone else has something they think would work better let me know.
