Bought RPG Maker MV like an hour ago and started to watch your series :D Must say i love your humor :D And it totally surpised me that after I watched your last tutorial another just poped out of nowhere :D
Bought the bundle pack yesterday on sale and i am doing the same thing, installed it but have yet to fire it up because i am going through his videos currently in my spare time and enjoying every minute of it.
My two cents: it's a lot easier to make a practice game and add elements to it as SRDude covers them in the tutorials. There is a ton of information and actually doing it yourself and seeing how it plays out does wonders for helping you remember it for creating an actual game.
4:49 If you set it to Wait for Completion and don't turn on Skip If Cannot Move you can actually softlock the game by speaking to the NPC from the left since he won't be able to move and neither will you
You probably get this all the time, but your how to series for MV is SO good, dude. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, it's fun to watch and endlessly helpful.
This was awesome, THANKS!! I have just been using "ITEM" conditional situations (i.e. if player has X item then this happens, ELSE, etc). But this makes so much sense and makes things much easier! Also, that Second Event thing is BOSS! I always wondered about putting more events in the same place. Huh. Brilliant!! Thanks!
nice tutorials, I like how you've given every little aspect it's own video, makes it great for reference whilst I try and make a game for the first time
Thank you so much for making all of these videos.... They are helping me so much! Its always been a big dream of mine to make rpgs.... now thanks to you I feel like I can do it!
I really liked this tutorial! I had watched some about a yearago when i bought it but there weren't many tutorials and there was a couple similar thanks for the help!
yay i re learned how regular switches work! they just need to be careful about setting it so the event moves in a direction they are standing in the game will freeze if it doesn't go through you as it can't complete.
Thank you for explaining this so simply! I don't know why I've been struggling to wrap my head around this because it's pretty basic!? I think other tutorials were full of waffle.
I dont know if this is still helpfull but I created another switch and I activated it after the blocking np moved while deactivating the other first switch after that I made a condtitonal branch for the first npc that checked if the second switch was on . If the second switch was off it would activate the first one and if the second switch was on it would do nothing
I had to watch this a couple of times 'cause down here in the South, we talk a lot slower. I guess that it means we listen a lot slower, too. But the information WAS helpful. Thank you.
Learning a ton from you. Thanks! Here's a question... Can I make a switch that can't be activated until I defeat an enemy and obtain a dropped item like a key?
If I want a main quest to be completed before the player can leave the area. For example the quest is in a town on one map, while the area the player can't leave yet is on a different map. How would i go about that with switches, does it have to do with region IDs?
Download Yanfly's Equip Core here: yanfly.moe/2015/10/15/yep-10-equip-core/ Then use the notetag: //Sets all Parameters to a random number between 5 and 15 all = (Math.randomInt(10)) + 5
Thanks. I'm not good with Java. Also, Every time the weapon with the random stats is equipped again the stats randomize themselves again. I tired fixing it so they wouldn't change but like I said I'm not good with Java. Do you think there's a way to fix this?
What happen with events, is that they will reset every time you reenter to the map zone where they appear, so the only way to prevent it is by creating a new event page with NO content, and as for CONDITIONS, you must set true a switch that must become true once your desired event has been completed For those that want to permanently turn off the event once the switches have been triggered, here's something I discovered after an hour of testing: 1) Create the event, with all it's aspects. 2) Select control switches, and name the switch to create. 3) Make sure that the switch is ON or OFF depending of convinience. 4) Create the desired conditions to turn either ON or Of the switch for convinience. 5) Prepare the event to make it dissapear in order to not repeat itself.
5.1) Create a switch to set the event as off. this switch must be ON. 5.2) Set the condition to turn ON a new switch to confirm that the event is over. 5.3) Create a new event page. 5.4) On the conditions tab, check the switch that is activated to confirm that the event is over and must not repeat herself. 5.5) Make sure that there is no image nor content on the new page, so the event will be technically erased. 6) If required, create a new event with identical appereance to the previous one, on the desired location. With this, I was able to permanently 'set' Bob next to the door once I reentered to the map. I hope I was able to explain myself accurately. Great videos @SomeRanDev. Thanks to you I can easily go through this. Keep it up!
Can you help me? So, I created an event that checks for 6 control switches. The names of said switches are Forgive, Kill, Kill2, Kill3, Kill4 and Kill5. When I play-tested the game, it thought that Kill5 was turned on even though it wasn't. How do I get the event to work the way I want it to? It's for a game I'm making called Project Chibi.
Is the Else Event thing how you make split paths in the stories of games and different endings, or does that need a whole other level of complexity that we haven't reached yet?
I am trying to make a dating sim using RPG Maker MV. I can draw the maps, do basic dialogue and am still learning about switches and variables (your tutorials are great by the way) But i'm not sue how to go about doing these things. I would also love to know how to make certain tools do certain things to the map (like cutting down a tree or mining, and farming) If i manage to get this game donw i will definantely give some credit to you for the tutorials that have helped me actually be able to do anything. Here's hoping you're able and willing to help :) (i'm still working my way through your tutorials by the way)
I'll take the offer for credit :). First off switches are used as a means to progress, Meaning you use them as a sort of key to get past points. Say you want to cut down a tree you would have your first event page asking if you want to cut it down, By selecting yes you can run "turn switch 1 on" which on page 2 should be the trigger for the event loading, On page two itself you can either not show a graphic which is to show the tree is gone or you could make the graphic a stump. Now if you wanted it to be played out as an animation of the tree being chopped you wouldn't need to even touch the switches or variables, just change the movement image setting but by using switches you are locking the event to stay changed on page 2 even if you leave the map. Now variables are like switches but with more added in, say you wanted to have a event only work by saying the same thing three times, Well with variables you can set the option to +1 on variable 1 every time you pick the option and have a "if command" set to read the condition of "if variable 1 >= 3" then you could have a new event play, You can also use this to count how many items you are holding matches the quest by making the item value equal the variable. If you need any more info let me know.
Okay so as stupid as I am.. but what about two switches working at once, like per se replacing the custom protag with the actual canon protag that can only be triggered by name?
Hi sir I have 1 issue that I'm facing right now and im not sure whether it's related to this video's topic, but here i go. So I set my character to talk to a specific npc, and that specific npc will give GOLD to my character. BUT if I keep talking to that NPC, it'll keep giving me GOLD. So my question is this, how do i set to once my character recieved the GOLD and even when I talk to that NPC again and I won't get gold from that NPC again? Sorry for my bad english. Please & thank you ! :)
So I did a similar switch with a knight allowing entrance to a forest guarded by an ogre. Is there a way to get the ogre to stop saying the same thing and moving the same direction every time you talk to him? Initially, it works great and he moves out of the way to let you in the forest if that switch is on, but afterwards, if I talk to him again, he says the same thing and moves the same direction again, and this would happen as many times as I talk to him.
Make a second page with a conditional switch that's added on the first page, it always checks if the highest number page can be run so it'll only run the second page after the switch is set.
They are meant to push progression in the game, say you want to enter this awesome ship but the ship has high levels the player is not ready for, if you set the entrance so that it can only be enter if switch 1 is on then you can stop the player from going into that area at the wrong time. Another example is chaining events, say you want a character to say something but right after you want another event to pop up, make it so talking to the person activates the switch and then the other event will appear, this is great for making side quests.
I started making a game. I have a question! Can I make characters talk to each other with switches? Thank you, if you answer! These videos help me a lot :)
I can't turn off a cutscene. When it ends it'll restart when I re-enter the room. How do I fix this? These switches are so confusing. I've re-watched this video a few times and I still don't understand. The cutscene videos didn't say anything on how to stop the cutscene from starting again upon re-entering the room..
Also how to install plugins or how to make randomly generated dungeons (for the mines and the likes) so that its different every time they enter, also how to randomly spawn objects in said areas would be great, sorry for posting so much, but i have so many questions and i really want to make my game :)
If you want random items lets say in a chest you can give the chest a if command for a variable set, say potion is 1, Box of Fly's is 2, Donkey is 3. For this all you need is the if command and setting the variable to a random variable before it reads which one it equals (Just put that at the start of the event, it's under the variable tab).
can you help me there is a guy tells me to get his sword and after getting sword i want him to tell be carefull how can i do that pls someone tell me ( i take sword from treasure)
Someone help! I placed a sunbeam picture and changed the screen tint in a certain map... problem is - the picture and tint persists when I leave that map? how do I fix this? I have tried "erase event" at then end of the Event Editor
Erase event only gets rid of the current event that it's linked too from the map until it's reloaded, meaning it can't be read until you have re entered the map, however this doesn't get rid of anything that has changed the map. What you'll need is either to add the correct tint setting and delete picture () on all exit panel events of the map or set up some x and y variables to the players location and run a if command on the distance you want, you'll also have to have the event run on parallel as well for this method.
I'm running into a bit of a problem with this tutorial. My setup is a little different however. I have My character, an NPC, and a door. I want my character speaking with the NPC to trigger the door opening. I've tried using the rules of this tutorial to try getting that door open but I just can't seem to do it! Any suggestions?
Make a second page for the door event that is an auto event that activates after talking to the guy (Switch 001:Door Guy ON) then put a self switch on that event, then make a third page that is just the transfer event with a play touch trigger that turns on through that last pages auto event, both the door pages should have a sprite to show that the door is open.
Is there a way to use if statements to check the position of the event to decide what it says? Ex: If event1 is at 2,3 then (...) Else if event 1 is at 4.5 then (...) Else (...)
I want to say yes but I can't check right now, go into the variables tab and check if there are any options for setting the variable to an event X and or Y position. I know you can with the player but that's a bit irreverent.
Okay so I've check and; yes you can. Control Variables - Game Data - Character/ set it to the event you want and set the two variables as X then Y, these two will now act as tracking points for that event as long as you have a event that's parallel with them in it running. Example (Used Player for this but you can use event); ◆Control Variables：#0001 X = Map X of Player ◆Control Variables：#0002 Y = Map Y of Player ◆If：X = 36 ◆If：Y = 49 ◆If：Player is facing Left ◆Set Movement Route：Player (Wait) ： ：◇Jump：-4, +0 ◆ ：Else ◆If：Player is facing Right ◆Set Movement Route：Player (Wait) ： ：◇Jump：+4, +0 ◆ ：End ◆ ：End ◆ ：End ◆ ：End
Wha? i did what you said *the 3rd one* but the event does not appear when you tell the Other event that says you are allowed to pass THEN he appears and lets you pass
Okay a number of issues could be the cause but what I'm thinking is that you might have set page 1 to a condition that has not been met, or you have another page that's empty past page one that has no condition. The way the pages work is it reads through them backwards, starting from the newest page it can find, if the condition for that page is invalid it'll check the previous page until it finds one that has the conditions all checked.
Thanks for the series of videos, very very helpful. Switches and vars were a problem for at the beggining. Does anybody knows if I create a custom "public status" for an actor? Example: according to responses in dialogues, his status like "brave", "smart", "thug" will change as people perceive him.
You'll have to set each of them as an individual variable, if they select a option that raises said stat; you add a point onto the variable and have "if" commannds that check if the variable has enough points to activate the option you want or to level up (Which will require another variable check, these should be running as parallel common events). As for a custom menu; you should be able to set that up using the settings tab.
Adding a switch should fix that, first off make the first page of the event for the exit's condition blank then only have a player touch event that says "you should put some clothes on" or something like that, then on the clothes event add a switch and call it something related to the clothes, after that make a 2nd page on the exit event and make the condition "if switch clothes" is on. Remember the events that have a condition that has been achieved go by the highest number, ergo if event page 2 has it's conditions met then page 1 is no longer active.
These switches, are they carried over the next map also? For example Joe gave you permission and now your switch is ON, you went into this house, is this switch still on in this house? If when you leave the house, will the switch still be on? Please let me know!
Like sloth said, you could use "erase event" but that'll make it respawn next time you enter the map so I recommend putting a self switch at the end of the event and then making a second page that is blank that requires self switch a to be active.

switches are a pivotal part of creating quests such as "fetch" or "info" type designs
It makes me smile every time you misspell something the way you say "Whoa that's not right." Great videos, very helpful. Thumbs upped and subscribed.
You probably get this all the time, but your how to series for MV is SO good, dude. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, it's fun to watch and endlessly helpful.
This is by far the most important lesson for my current game. SRDude, you have no clue just how clutch you're coming in with these videos. For real.

Switches always confused me when I tried to learn them in the Tutorial in RPG Maker MV but your videos make learning RPG Maker so much easier
I started using RPG Maker years ago. This channel is the only channel I've ever been able to go to that worked with what I was looking for. Thank you.

The intro feels different compared to last time, hah.
I don't have the attention span to watch an identical intro 500000 times, so I'm guessing no one else does either :p
Bro you're a legend instructor, thank you so much
Thanks for all of the tutorials! They're a lot of fun and you make me laugh. I like your sense of humor. :)
your tutorials are insanely helpful you make it so easy to understand everything
Thank you for explaining this so simply! I don't know why I've been struggling to wrap my head around this because it's pretty basic!? I think other tutorials were full of waffle.
Your videos are so good I watch the ads just in case you get more money.
Your tutorials are so great. Simple and easy to understand. Thank you
I need to know how to remove or erase that event so it don't trigger again
I dont know if this is still helpfull but I created another switch and I activated it after the blocking np moved while deactivating the other first switch after that I made a condtitonal branch for the first npc that checked if the second switch was on . If the second switch was off it would activate the first one and if the second switch was on it would do nothing
make a blank page and cause something to switch to it.
hey man, i have been following your tutorials and using them when i have trouble figuring things out, thanks a ton for the help by making theese vids!
You save lives good sir.
I had to watch this a couple of times 'cause down here in the South, we talk a lot slower. I guess that it means we listen a lot slower, too. But the information WAS helpful. Thank you.
If you click on the gear icon in the corner you can change the speed of the video and make it slower or faster!
Once again SRDude has saved my life.
Thanks these tutorials are great!
LOL you sound exactly like my friend Chris jajajaja Great job I love your tutorials...
Learning a ton from you. Thanks! Here's a question...
Can I make a switch that can't be activated until I defeat an enemy and obtain a dropped item like a key?
omg that's sick! thank you.
After watching it 3 times, I finally understand...
Thanks this series helped me to fix my problem.
YOO I CAN ACTAULLY MAKE A REALLY GREAT GAME NOW TYYSMMM
If I want a main quest to be completed before the player can leave the area.
For example the quest is in a town on one map, while the area the player can't leave yet is on a different map.
How would i go about that with switches, does it have to do with region IDs?
Or just make sure there are only a few ways from where players can leave the area, and block them similarly untill the main quest is completed.
Man If I Didnt Seen This Series I Would Have No Idea What Im Supposed To do Thanks
Nice video. If possible could you make a tutorial on how to make Weapon/Armor to have randomly generated stats. And if at all possible Traits as well.
Download Yanfly's Equip Core here: yanfly.moe/2015/10/15/yep-10-equip-core/
Then use the notetag:
//Sets all Parameters to a random number between 5 and 15
all = (Math.randomInt(10)) + 5
Thanks. I'm not good with Java. Also, Every time the weapon with the random stats is equipped again the stats randomize themselves again. I tired fixing it so they wouldn't change but like I said I'm not good with Java. Do you think there's a way to fix this?
Oh...sorry about that. I'm not too familiar with Yanfly's Equip Core.
I'll see if I can find a solution.
you never did. feelsbadman
What happen with events, is that they will reset every time you reenter to the map zone where they appear, so the only way to
prevent it is by creating a new event page with NO content, and as for CONDITIONS, you must set true a switch that must become true once your desired event has been completed
For those that want to permanently turn off the event once the switches have been triggered, here's something I discovered after an hour of testing:
1) Create the event, with all it's aspects.
2) Select control switches, and name the switch to create.
3) Make sure that the switch is ON or OFF depending of
convinience.
4) Create the desired conditions to turn either ON or
Of the switch for convinience.
5) Prepare the event to make it dissapear in order to not
repeat itself.
5.1) Create a switch to set the event as off.
this switch must be ON.
5.2) Set the condition to turn ON a new switch to
confirm that the event is over.
5.3) Create a new event page.
5.4) On the conditions tab, check the switch that
is activated to confirm that the event is over and must not
repeat herself.
5.5) Make sure that there is no image nor content on
the new page, so the event will be technically erased.
6) If required, create a new event with identical appereance
to the previous one, on the desired location.
With this, I was able to permanently 'set' Bob next to the door once I reentered to the map.
I hope I was able to explain myself accurately.

Make a second page with a conditional switch that's added on the first page, it always checks if the highest number page can be run so it'll only run the second page after the switch is set.
What happens if switch is turned on, and you spoke to joe first? does it stil let you pass without ever having to talk to bob?
I'm trying to do this but for some reason whenever I add anything to the npc it just blanks him out.
Which option are you doing, and what steps are you taking?
Professor Omega sorry. Got it fixed already.
It's fine, I expected that lol.
this was extremely helpful
Funny tutorial guy, rare
what music is playng in the back round?
How else could I use Switches? Like, in what other kind of cases would this be useful in?

I've re-watched this video a few times and I still don't understand. The cutscene videos didn't say anything on how to stop the cutscene from starting again upon re-entering the room..

Ex: If event1 is at 2,3 then (...) Else if event 1 is at 4.5 then (...) Else (...)
I want to say yes but I can't check right now, go into the variables tab and check if there are any options for setting the variable to an event X and or Y position. I know you can with the player but that's a bit irreverent.
Okay so I've check and; yes you can. Control Variables - Game Data - Character/ set it to the event you want and set the two variables as X then Y, these two will now act as tracking points for that event as long as you have a event that's parallel with them in it running.
Example (Used Player for this but you can use event);
◆Control Variables：#0001 X = Map X of Player
◆Control Variables：#0002 Y = Map Y of Player
◆If：X = 36
◆If：Y = 49
◆If：Player is facing Left
◆Set Movement Route：Player (Wait)
： ：◇Jump：-4, +0
◆
：Else
◆If：Player is facing Right
◆Set Movement Route：Player (Wait)
： ：◇Jump：+4, +0
◆
：End
◆
：End
◆
：End
◆
：End
I wonder if this is going to be worth it for having reusable variables.
Consider this, you'll only need to use those variables in that one map, then you can use them for other events later for whatever.
You are right,
Does that mean that in another map you get new variables?
Thank you Very much for this video!
Wha? i did what you said *the 3rd one* but the event does not appear
when you tell the Other event that says you are allowed to pass THEN he appears and lets you pass
in short words he does not exist unless if you tell the other person if you can pass
Okay a number of issues could be the cause but what I'm thinking is that you might have set page 1 to a condition that has not been met, or you have another page that's empty past page one that has no condition.
The way the pages work is it reads through them backwards, starting from the newest page it can find, if the condition for that page is invalid it'll check the previous page until it finds one that has the conditions all checked.
Like Im still confused. Im trying to make a boss battle happen but.. its not happening. I really need help..
Help ;-;
Thanks for the series of videos, very very helpful. Switches and vars were a problem for at the beggining. Does anybody knows if I create a custom "public status" for an actor? Example: according to responses in dialogues, his status like "brave", "smart", "thug" will change as people perceive him.
You'll have to set each of them as an individual variable, if they select a option that raises said stat; you add a point onto the variable and have "if" commannds that check if the variable has enough points to activate the option you want or to level up (Which will require another variable check, these should be running as parallel common events). As for a custom menu; you should be able to set that up using the settings tab.
Got it, did something like this and now I'm using the Yanfly Status Menu + Actor Variables.
Alright.
Thanks!
If you need anything else just add another comment :)
1:44 my dieck
could you make a video on how to make a quest event
Did you need any specific help on that?
Adding a switch should fix that, first off make the first page of the event for the exit's condition blank then only have a player touch event that says "you should put some clothes on" or something like that, then on the clothes event add a switch and call it something related to the clothes, after that make a 2nd page on the exit event and make the condition "if switch clothes" is on. Remember the events that have a condition that has been achieved go by the highest number, ergo if event page 2 has it's conditions met then page 1 is no longer active.
So I need some help with an event activating an other event.
Event 1; Control Switch Tree gone
Event 2; Conditions need Control switch gone = on
Can you give me a better idea on what you're trying to do? The more details the better I can assist you.
Professor Omega funny thing is it was correct, but I had a tree tile in the same spot as the event. Lol
These switches, are they carried over the next map also? For example Joe gave you permission and now your switch is ON, you went into this house, is this switch still on in this house?
If when you leave the house, will the switch still be on?
Please let me know!
MrMakosi
Yes
ohyeahh this is the one im looking for
What if I wanted to make an NPC have a conversation with a character, then leave and disappear?
FlippyIsKing18 the end event/ or destroy event trigger will get rid of the character having the conversation with you.
Like sloth said, you could use "erase event" but that'll make it respawn next time you enter the map so I recommend putting a self switch at the end of the event and then making a second page that is blank that requires self switch a to be active.
What is the maximum number of switches you can have in a single game?
i think you can edit the max
you edit the max u want, basically it can be so simple like a dungeon runner game or it can be more complicated which requires alot of switches
5000 total.
I made a control switch that goes up too #101 but it refuses to work. Can someone help me with this issue?
What is the switch suppose to do and how have you implemented it?
@@haydengames3v2 it’s suppose to make a character fall down when they get struck by lightning.
@@haydengames3v2 I have the switch off at the beginning and this is a new switch I made so I’m just confused on why it’s not working honestly
@@MathalanAgne NPC or player? Guessing NPC, in which case turning the switch on and having the next page have the condition should work fine.
@@haydengames3v2 that’s what I did honestly
Wait but who's Joe?
who's joe?
You are fantastic!
this is just straight up programming lol.
Which is fantastic though tbh.
best part thanks man
My head hurts
I am feeling out of breath from watching

Joe gave *yuo* premission to pass
Haha, you put RPG Maker, the one from 1997 as the game for this video, instead of the 2015 MV version. How silly.
TH-cam does that itself
