In-Depth Information
We transfer the player to the center of that map, a few squares to the south of the armored NPC that we're using
as the arena announcer. An RPG arena just isn't much of one if someone isn't announcing challengers and such.
We can kill two birds with one stone, as it were, by making that particular NPC our Autorun event as well. He will have
a total of four event pages. Each page has a conditional for each particular rank challenge switch. So, page 1 requires
RankDChallenge
to be on, page 2 requires
RankCChallenge
to be turned on, and so forth. The general format of the
arena challenges is as follows:
•
A short announcement of the player's party is made.
•
A Battle Processing event in which the player can continue the game if he/she happens to lose
the battle begins.
•
If the player wins, the game loads up the second fight. If the player loses, he/she is sent back to
the first map.
•
The same process is repeated until the player wins three fights or loses.
•
Take a look below for a large part of the Rank D Challenge Autorun event.
