Edit: I'm making an event in 2k3 and ran into a problem. I have a picture showing, then moving, in a parallel process to simulate rain. It's as basic as can be, show picture, move picture, repeat. But when I use regular show message commands, the pictures stop. They are in 2 different events naturally. And even if I use the message command option to either allow or prevent other events from running during messages, the rain always stops. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

It's possible that while the message box doesn't prevent other events from running at the time time, it does stop them from starting up. And since parallel processes usually restart themselves when all their commands are finished, it might be at that point where the message box blocks the event from running again. You could try to circumvent this by placing a Label at the beginning of your parallel process and a Jump to Label command at the end, so that the event effectively loops infinitely and never has to reload itself.
I'm not entirely sure, but this might have the side effect that the event will keep running even when its conditions are no longer met or the player is sent to another map. Should that be the case, you can easily prevent it from happening by putting the Jump to Label command inside conditional branches that check for the same conditions as the event itself, and/or for the Map ID.

I'm kind of speculating here, but I think it's worth a shot. Hopefully this helps.

Good idea but it didn't work. It seems to stop after the move picture command. I have 2 of those in the event that are 2 seconds each, 4 total, and everytime I bring up the message, the picture stops moving after 2 seconds and not 4. So it's not even getting to the end of the event. It refuses to continue processing after move picture. I removed the wait part from the move pictures and added actual waits, that didn't help either. I wonder if any kind of wait causes it. But there's other way to do this without waits T.T What a shame, cause it's such a simple and perfect rain effect otherwise.

Can someone who has the official 2k3 test this out for me? I'll PM the files.

Ok, I see the Oops errors and it looks like the system thinks you are not logged in when trying to access the locker.

This happens to me a lot. I will open a new tab for something and it shows me logged out. It only started within the last few months.

Also, the legal version added some quality of life changes to the engine, such as alt line colouring and different event code colours like in Ace, making it so much easier to view code.

Oh nice, I always liked that about RPG Ultimate 2009. But please, I'm trying to avoid buying the new version u.u

Also for how advanced and anti-savagery the Q make themselves out to be, they're sure quick to judge an entire species for actions that happened several centuries ago.

What's a few centuries to an omnipotent being not limited by time? It's that kind of thinking that landed the Enterprise in hot water with the Q.

Oh yeah, this was just my reactions to the first episode. I'm sure I'll have changed my views twenty times by the end of the show.

You might change your view once by the end of season 1, then again during season 2, and finally when the crew is reunited in season 3 it changes for the last time and it's all good from there. If you're cool.

Didn't feel like making a new topic for this and the site probably won't let me anyways, being an android an all.

Oh really? Thanks.

I really need to work on this again.
