Stupidly Simple Question

I feel like beating my head on a wall, I am so frustrated.

All I am trying to do is a simple Fadeout, transfer to new map, Fadein. For some reason, the first time I go to the new map, the Fadein works. But not after that. After that, it stays black. You'd think I'd have this down by now.

So here's the event:

I've checked every single other event, and there is nothing else that is autorun. I now it's something incredibly dumb, but my brain is just not comprehending it at the moment.

Thanks.

After the first time, the self switch is triggered so it never runs the first page again. You can either turn off the self switch when you transfer off the map or use erase event after the fade in instead of a self switch.

You also can put the "Fade In" after the transfer event on the previous map. It carries over. :)

See, I thought self switches were "reset" so to speak, each time you came back to a map. I gues that would explain a lot of my issues, lol!

Aha! SOOO good to know. I figured once it transferred, it wouldn't do anything in the event after the transfer. This will make life much easier.

I'm not sure whether anything else carries over, but I know fade-in works at least. :)

Thanks, it's working now! This can be closed!
