How do I make one time events?

I'm making my first game and I'm trying to create a battle event but I only want it to happen one time.  Not every time I walk over the event spot.  How do I do this?  I literally started this yesterday so please make any responses as simple as possible.

After the battle processing on your event page add "control self switch" turn A = On


Make a second event page with the conditions Self Switch "A" is On

I tried that but when I went into play testing my event was no longer there.  Are both switches supposed to be on?  The second event page, I just add a control switch or do I need something else?

Woot!!  I figured it out.

Helopilot, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.


Check out the Tutorials forum. Knowing what switches and self switches are and how to use them with multi-page events is crucial to being able to make a game. We see a LOT of people with problems getting things working because they've used them incorrectly.
