Description
A short and rather basic tutorial for ~DarkAlyzer and others who are interested to learn how to use words (Could be single letters or long words!) to trigger events without the need of any fancy scripts.
NOTE: It should work in RPG Maker VX and XP as well, it's just that the locations of the buttons (Things like Name Input) might have been moved somehwere else in the 'Event Commands' box.
I kinda went the easy way in trying to make an actual password (Like, "Peppers") to unlock something. (Though it took me an hour to figure it out :'I Oh well)
Really all it does is check the name of an actor that you created (and which you used as a kind of word holder) and if it matches what was specified in the 'Conditional Branch' then you cna proceed with your event. If it doesn't then... Well, the event won't do a thing unless specified to.
Anyways

Cool tutorial. ^_^
For some reason I never noticed the name option in the conditional branch list.

Heheh.
I remember when I first figured out how to use variables, the adrenalin I went through is probably along the lines of how Einstein felt when he discovered E=MC2.

True, I actually went from completely ignorant on the subject, to creating my own event based time system, in about a day or so.

Wow! That's awesome~ So, kind of like an in-game clock? Sounds interesting~

It was, unfortunately the game ended up taking too much of my work time, as it was originally a fan game that I would work on during my free time, so I had to stop working on it.

Awh :c
I understand though. I have a few games that will never see the light of day since they were discontinued after life decided to have other plans. >.<
Now it's just a hobby if I have the time to spare. *Enjoys thinking up events though*
Maybe one day, eh?

True true, much of the time I rarely even create the first scene, before moving onto the next project.

Ah, so true .v.;; I get to the point of gathering the right scripts and tilesets but then I have a new idea and move on. DX

True, I think I have around 20 or so story concepts, and that includes spinoffs and crossovers.

Sounds neat though! ^ ^ )
Maybe one day one of them will be completed. 
We just gotta try our best. ^7^/

|D No problem~ I'm happy to help.
It sure opens the possibilities for puzzles though. BD

|D But :3
Why yes it does. BD

Not a problem. :3
And I might if I can figure out what to make the tutorial on. xD

I thought you already had a tutorial folder.

I do in my gallery, but I need to figure out what else to make a tutorial for. The Database is taking longer than expected, so in the meanwhile it would be fun to make a few random ones concerning events or other things. (Well, that and I kind of lost the PSD file. IT's somewhere in the computer I think. DX)
