CloseOkay I have a couple of maps set up, the inside of a house, and a village on the outside, I know how to link them, but on the village, I have some player touch triggers set up right in front of the player house, so as soon as the player crosses them, it triggers some squirrels to run across the screen, right? Okay so the player has to go back inside his or her house multiple times. So since they are back inside, they would have to go back out to the village. However that would trigger the squirrels to run across the screen again. I don't want that, I want the squirrels to only run across the screen ONCE. How do I keep the event from *re-running* itself when ever I re-enter the village??
You can use a simple switch to stop this from happening over and over again.
So on the player touch event where the player walks over it and the squirrels run across, at the end of the page where the squirrels are done, go to "Switch Operations" or something to that effect and make a switch called "Squirrels." Turn it on. Then make a new page on the event and on the side, tick one of the boxes that says "switch" and select your "Squirrels" switch. This will stop the event from happening over and over again, as it will play whatever is on the second page from that point on (in this case, there is nothing on the page).
If you are using XP or VX, you can use a self switch which doesn't take up a regular switch slot. Just select self switch A to activate, and on the next page, tick the box that says self switch and select A from the dropdown box.
