what i want to do is move an event character from the front on my tent, to the player, speech, then you enter the characters name, then he/walks away without repeating, pls help.
I don't have RMXP (the downloads are ALWAYS corrupted), so this is pseduocode. Adjust as necessary:
Page 1: No preconditions
Event starts however you want to start it
<>Move Event: Guy, Down, Down
<>Message: Blah
<>Message: Blah
<>Enter Hero Name
<>Move Event: Guy, Up, Up
<>Set Switch: 0000:IntroFinished
Page 2: Precondition: Switch 0000:IntroFinished is ON
Event starts On Key Press
<>Message: what
----
That's the general idea, anyway. You use a switch so that next time you run the event, the second page runs instead of the first. (Only the highest page number goes if more than one page meets all preconditions, so remember that.)
