You should now have a window pop up that looks similar to this. A character can be created by right clicking another event slot and selecting the 'New Event' option.
If not, then you will find yourself stuck on that starting position throughout the entire adventure.Īfter you've selected the starting position, you will now want to add some characters to interact with. Make sure that the spot that you have selected is able to be walked over. After that, you should have an image like this on the event slot that you have selected. This may be done by right clicking one of the square event slots and selecting 'Place Party Starting Position'. The next thing you should do is to select your character's starting point. After pressing F7, your map should now have square tiles across the map just like the photo I have posted. In order to add these things in, you will need to select the map you want to add events to and press F7 to activate the Event Layer Mode.
As you can see to the right, I have a map with no characters or anything to interact with except for the basic map.
Most importantly, it will also let you decide your starting point of the game. It does so by activating switches and characters to interact with.
Events is just as important as mapping because it was makes the game's story progress. Now that you've created a map, you need to add events to it.
