MYSTERIES OF RPGMAKER?

Wut...
So that was it? Wow. I feel so stupid now.

Thanks AsgarZigel and LouisCyphre!

But in my defense, it is quite unclear. The tooltip doesn't help, and they used a tilde (~) which is supposed to denote approx.

Is it possible to play different animation together in Rm2k3 via common event (as trigger) and two different event (parallel)?
Similarly, can we play two sound together this way?

I just realized that this might be troublesome for some of the coding (later). I don't have access to RM2k3 yet, and this question is driving me nuts.

EDIT: woops it has been a while since last poster reply. My bad.

Hmm, well, in that case, I want to ask a follow up question.

I managed to test it in Rm2k3 and it seems while it is possible to play two sound at the same time, I can't play two animation at the same time.

I am working on some kind of CBS so I just want to make sure if there is some way/workaround this can be done? DBS have flexibility in animation so I was thinking if the same principle works outside battle.

I believe in the past I tried a german RM2k RPG that have CBS (pictures?). I lost the copy of the game, and I only remember the hero (for the beginning) having the name "selan" or something. Didn't get far cause it is German, but I want to take a look again how it was done.

You're looking for Velsarbor buddy. Yeah, it's pretty great, but I'm pretty sure he used pictures for all his animation needs.

What about wolfcoder's thing? Rpg 20xx engine. It might've taken DBS's animation flexibility and made it possible everywhere else.

Yep, that's the one. I planned to use pictures for all of it, but some things are easier/better in animation.

Err, to be honest I kinda waited for that engine for quite a bit; but it doesn't seem it is going to be completed soon. Not to say wolfcoder etc are bad though, it's just probably really hard to make.

The new..? one. I guess I should check it out.

I have a question! I'm using RPG Maker 2000 again after not using it for several years.



What does the Strong Defense option do? Does it have to do with the defend command, or does it alter the defense stats?

Thanks :D

Don't know about you guys but it took me a few months to learn how to use a loop the right way lol.

The Counter flag allows you to interact with an event on the other side of the object in question. Think a table or counter where the shop keepr is on once side and you're on the other. Instead of making an event on the table itself, you just make the shop event within the shopkeeper's event then flag the table as a counter. When you talk from one side it'll pretend that the counter isn't in the way - as though you were standing right next to the event while interacting with it. ^.^

The Square makes roof tiles. That is, Star tiles will make all of that tile into above her. Square makes it so only the upper most tile will allow for hero to be underneath, while the rest of it will stop them from going down further.

For example:

The girl in the bottom left is overlapped by the roof. If we tried to move her down, she couldn't, even though the only tile there is the roof one. The Square has automatically blocked all sides of the roof tile but one tile at the very top, which has been made above hero. Hope that explains it easily enough to understand.

I just discovered the existence of \> and \<, which makes the text between them appear instantly in RM2k3 (and in VX too I think). Mind blown.
