Help please. x3

Whenever I create a swtich and put it into an event, the graphical character I used disappear, does anyone know why? Dx

It sounds like you have a page set to the condition of that switch but did not put the graphic on that page. You have to set the graphic on each page of an event, not just the first one. If you could provide more information or even a screenshot of your event pages, we could see for sure.

*is trying to figure out how to post screnshots.

I'm copying this post from Shaz in another thread:

How to take a Screenshot:
You've heard people say to take a screenshot, but how does one take a screenshot of their game? Simple, while the game is running, hit the Prt Scr button on your keyboard, which is located right next to your F12 key. If you're using a laptop, you might have to use the Fn key in combination with the Prt Scr key to get it to work.

Now that you've pressed the button, it's time to paste this screenshot into an image editing software. If you don't have anything fancy such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP or Paint.NET, no worries; you can use MS Paint instead. Open up your image editing software, create a new file, and then hit ctrl+v on your keyboard, or simply right click on the screen and select paste. This should instantly paste the screenshot into your image editing software. You can go ahead and crop the image to suit your needs, or if you don't even know what that means, you can just upload it as it is.

Save the image as a PNG, or if you really need to, as a high quality JPG.


How to upload the image to the forums
Now that you have you have an image on your computer you'd like to show us, how can you get it to show up on the forums? Firstly, you need to find an image hosting site, photobucket.com or imageshack.us are popular ones. If you have another image uploading website, great - use that one! Either way, upload it to the site, and then get the direct link. Don't get the resized link, or the thumbnail link, but the direct URL. You'll know you have the direct URL if the URL ends with the file extension you saved your image in (which will hopefully be .png).

Once you have this direct URL to your image, simply use the IMG tags in your forum post and paste the URL in between them. If this image is big, please leave the image in spoiler tags.

I hope this wroks o3o

What do you have on page 2?

I think maybe your problem is the Self-switch A. By having it on that first page, you are saying "The first page will not run until self-switch A is on." But you don't turn it on until the bottom of pg 1, so page 1 can't ever run.

I'm guessing maybe you meant for the self-switch A to trigger the second page? I would also guess on page 2 there is no graphic, so that what is happening is it just automatically running page 2.

Essentially this is for a quest.

I'm trying to make it so he gives you the quest to get the necklace once you return he says thanks, takes the item away and then gives you gold in return.

Nevertheless, that first page will not run. It would be like saying "You can't go into that room until you turn the light switch on (self-switch A)" but the light switch is on the back wall of the room.

A switch is universal - if you need to use switches between different events you need to use a regular switch. A self-switch only works within that event.

Trust me, try turning getting rid of the self-switch A in the conditions of the first page and see if it works then.

Most probably you misunderstood the difference between condition and control of switches.


If a page is conditioned to a switch, it can only become active if that condition is fullfilled.


If all pages of an event are conditioned and no condition is fulfilled, that event will vanish - and that's probaböy what happens here.


This is especially true for self-switches. Only the event itself can control its self-switches (general switches can be controlled by other events), and if the second page does not set the self-switch, then this first page will never become active.


Follow the link in my signature, then look for the "variables guide" in that topic. The variables guide is a game that teaches you what variables and switches can be used for, and you can open that game in the editor to see how those quests in the game were done.
