Title: How do I advance Story Progression?
Post by: advfox on October 29, 2014, 05:25:22 pm
I have successfully created an event, and it functions like it is supposed to - the right time in the story, and at the right location. However, after completing the event and attempting to leave the location, the event loops.

The event triggers if Story Progression (SP) is equal to 1F, which in my case is right at the start of Chapter 3 before the event at Gollund.

I think I've already identified the problem. Completing the event does not change SP, so when returning to the World Map, the event loops indefinitely because SP is stuck at 1F. 

I know what the problem is, so now I just need to figure out the solution. Is there some way to tell an event to change the SP variable upon completion, or is there something I need to modify elsewhere?

Storyline Progression is a variable that get's manipulated in events, you can use the event instructions ZERO, SUB and ADD (and some others) to make it go up, down, reset, etc.
