So check it out.... I'm curious as to how I can keep events resetting locations when leaving and reentering an area?

IE:

you flip a switch an object moves... you do this with an Set movement Route or Set Event Location command, but how can I keep those locations saved when leaving and reentering that same area?

You can create a second event where the set movement left the other event, but it is only active after the initial event occurred. Using a control switch that is contingent on the first being activated would make it where when you leave the area, the item will be where last seen.

can you explain that differently??? lol I'm being dumb


[edit] actually.... you gave me a great idea

One way to do it is to put a switch on your first event, the one that causes it to move. Let's call this switch, "Moved", and have it on. Have this positioned directly below the line that moves the event. Press Create New Page. In the Conditions area, click Switch, and select, "Moved." Do not have any image. In Contents, select Exit Event Processing.

At the location where you want the event to move to, create a second event. On the first page, have no image, and no content. Create New Page. In the Conditions area, area, click Switch, and select, "Moved." Have the desired image, that was previously moved. In contents put the content that you desire it to do.

This will take care if the character leaves and returns to the current map.

just so you know that worked perfectly! I had to play around with it a bit to get it to work with 4 different event boxes but know it's perfect, thanks again @MinisterJay

You are welcome. Since this is solved, I will close the thread, but if you or another member needs it re-opened, it can be done. :)
