MOONWOLFV'S PROFILE

Sometimes my chests give an item, but just as often, they don't.

I've tried to do it by using the common event command to select an item from a list, but often the chest opens, and no item is given.

Here's the chest event, and the common event. If someone can tell me what's going wrong here, that would be great. I put the "wait" in there, thinking that might help, but nothing's changed.

Chest Event


Common Event (Random Item List)

Hi there

I'm trying to making a compass pointer for my game, as it's a bit like an Elderscrolls scale when it comes to the world map. I'd like it basically to be a pointer, which will stick close to you, but would point in the direction of the location you've specified. This would be picked from a choice list, and then having a variable number for each location when it is selected.

I know how to make the pointer point to the location, but I don't know how I'd make it tail the player around. Could someone tell me how I could do this?

I'm beginning to make a game based on the Earthsea books, starting off with Havnor Great Port. I'm trying to make it true to the books, where it describes it being a maze of a city, with staircases and bridges connecting the roofs of the buildings.

I've made them all so they can be crossed above, and underneath, but I'm getting concerned that this might start impacting performance quite a bit, and maybe I should just have them over the streets, but unusable, just being there for aesthetics. It amounts to 745 events on this one map, without even having added any NPCs yet.

The clusters of events shown on the map below indicate where a bridge is.

I've put in an option where you can change the main character's hair colour in the game. The game is then supposed to assign a variable for the hair colour, as there are a few scenes where the hero graphic changes for other situations.

But for some unexplained reason, it won't put in and set that number. In the example below, it is supposed to set it to 1, but when in test play, and I check the variables, it says that it's 0.

Could somebody tell me what's going wrong?

The game is like Citizens of Earth, where you can form a party out of any members you've recruited, so I've made it so the characters who appear when a cut scene occurs will be the ones who are in your active party.

I've made one cut scene and it all works fine, but I was wondering if there's a way I can copy and paste these events without having to change which event it's referring to, each time I make a cut scene on a different map.

This is what it currently looks like


Could someone let me know if there is a way to do this easily, or will this be the best way to go about doing it?
