Make characters disappear?

So in my game the player wakes up and see's his late to class so when he leaves the dorm i need it so that none of the characters that used to be there are gone. like they are all in class so the map is empty how do i do that?

Well if you want to keep the events there, the easiest way would be to change their graphics to nothing.   If you don't need the events, just call erase event on each of them.

Uh, you don't need to erase any events.

You can use a switch and a new event page with the switch condition that has a blank graphic. As long as the switch is active, the events won't appear. :)

No, that's not right. Erase Event only erases them while you stay on the map. As soon as you leave the map, then return, they'll be there again. Also changing their graphics to nothing does the same thing, if you are doing it via the Set Move Route - Change Graphic command.


You need to use switches and multiple event pages to do this, JUST as you need to use switches (and possibly multiple event pages) to do the other question you asked about today.


I cannot stress enough how beneficial it would be for you to read some beginner tutorials (including the manual via F1 in the editor) and become familiar with these basic functions. Switches and multiple event pages is how you control the entire flow of your game - you NEED to learn how to use them, so you don't have to come and ask "how do I ..." for all the simple things.

If you don't like or feel like reading, google exactly this "redweavers tutorial town". He goes through stuff step by step so it's very newb friendly.
