do you know where i can get a space chipset like the stars and planets

 

[DarkMage31]

Stars and planets can be done with paralax backgrounds. That might work.

How do you make it so in the lab, when you choose a Pok?mon, that Pok?ball goes away and you can't choose another one, and that Pok?mon goes into your lineup?

 

[hyrule center]

i mean chipset the things the character walks on

 

[DarkMage31]

I can't link to any onhand at the moment... futuristic sets are easy to come by, but I don't know about planets and stars... you don't walk in space a lot ;)

To make the ball dissappear, click "New Page" in your event and on the left check "switch" and make a new switch. Call it whatever you want. Make the graphic blank. Go back to page one and add a command at the end that turns on your new switch. This flips the page to the one with the blank graphic and blank command list, as if the pokeball dissappeared off the table! Did this work for you?

 

[PatriotFan89]

OK, but how do I make it so the Pok?mon is now in the lineup and you can't take either of the other two Pok?mon?

Firstly,Congratualtions on being promoted Darkmage!
Secondly, since my exams are partly over, I'm going to try and
be my old active self by helping people.

here's the script! (Note: I'm using the original RM2K 4 party member
system. You'll need to use a different script
once the 6 member party system's completed)

Pok1,2,3 are the 3 diff types of pokemon.
First add the 3 events with pokeball graphics.
Trigger condition: Action Key

First event:

If switch pok2 is on
>Message: You've already chosen a pokemon! (Or something like that)
Else
>If switch pok3 is on
>>Message: You've already chosen a pokemon! (Or something like that)
>else
>>Change party member: Add pok1
>>Switch pok1 on

Second Event:

If switch pok1 is on
>Message: You've already chosen a pokemon! (Or something like that)
Else
>If switch pok3 is on
>>Message: You've already chosen a pokemon! (Or something like that)
>else
>>Change party member: Add pok2
>>Switch pok2 on

Third Event:

If switch pok1 is on
>Message: You've already chosen a pokemon! (Or something like that)
Else
>If switch pok2 is on
>>Message: You've already chosen a pokemon! (Or something like that)
>else
>>Change party member: Add pok3
>>Switch pok3 on

 

[DarkMage31]

That'll work, XD

Just use the Change Part command to add and subtract members to/from your party if you are using the DBS. (default battle system)

can somebody help me out here. if you've got two common events and both events are using labels, if common event has label 1,2 and 3 can common event still have 1,2 and 3 or does it have to start from 4?

 

[Krazy_Meerkat]

You should be able to use labels 1 2 and 3 on both. I'm sure i've done it before..

 

[PatriotFan89]

I can't find where to put if a certain switch is on...

 

[DarkMage31]

If using an event, hit the check mark on the left when editing any given event. If in an event's command list, use a Fork Condition and select Switch.

 

[PatriotFan89]

Sorry, I wasn't being specific. Like in Daegon's explination, where can I find the command for if a switch is already on?

 

[DarkMage31]

Uh, yeah. Use a Conditional Branch (2k3) / Fork Condition (2k).

 

[PatriotFan89]

OK. I'm using 2k3 and couldn't find Fork Condition. Thanks DM!

 

[DarkMage31]

That's because it's Conditional Branch in 2k3. 3rd tab, fifth one down, second column.

 

[PatriotFan89]

Thank you! It worked! But only one problem I have.... After the Pok?mon is chosen, the Pok?Ball won't go away...

Oh yea, and how do I make a trap? So if you haven't chose a Pok?mon, the professor will have a message and you can't go beyond that point until you choose one.

 

[DarkMage31]

I'm not sure what you mean with the first question.

The second one's easy. Just make an event set to On Hero Touch, activated by a switch (check left in editor) Then you can add text. Just flip the switch on to activate the trap, off to deactivate it for normal passage. Just add a Move Event so you step away from the trap once you step on it.

 

[Sorye HK]

I didn't know you wanted the pokeball to go away.
I'll write it again.

First event:

If switch pok2 is on
>Move Event: This Event, Change Graphic(Change Graphic into a transparent charaset)
Else
>If switch pok3 is on
>>Move Event: This Event, Change Graphic(Change Graphic into a transparent charaset)
>else
>>Change party member: Add pok1
>>Switch pok1 on

Second Event:

If switch pok1 is on
>Move Event: This Event, Change Graphic(Change Graphic into a transparent charaset)
Else
>If switch pok3 is on
>>Move Event: This Event, Change Graphic(Change Graphic into a transparent charaset)
>else
>>Change party member: Add pok2
>>Switch pok2 on

Third Event:

If switch pok1 is on
>Message: Move Event: This Event, Change Graphic(Change Graphic into a transparent charaset)
Else
>If switch pok2 is on
>>Message: Move Event: This Event, Change Graphic(Change Graphic into a transparent charaset)
>else
>>Change party member: Add pok3
>>Switch pok3 on

Actually that depends on which translation or patch you are using.
