Chapter 32: Event iDs

Well, my order is a bit messed up. Maybe I should be teaching things like how to edit text and portraits before going onto teaching event IDs. Maybe I should. Oh well.

Before you read this part of the tutorial, please read the previous chapter on death quotes because it contains information on Trigger IDs, AKA Event IDs.

^With that out of the way… event IDs come from various places. One place is scenic events-there are event IDs there that have many purposes. When we get to events, you’ll start seeing spots to put event IDs ALL over. There’s even codes that can trigger them on and off ‘manually’.

One thing is that the event IDs are shared-meaning you shouldn’t use the same one in a chapter, unless it’s 0x00. If an event has an event ID of 0x00, it can happen infinitely (unless something ELSE is stopping it from happening-like if you visit a village and the village gate is closed, you can’t visit the village, regardless of whether the event ID is 0x00 or not). Thus events with 0x00 are like ‘generic events’ and don’t have any special properties to them.

Event 0x01 is for something—I think boss battle quotes. Event 0x02 is for death quotes, I believe. Event 0x03 is for the seize event. Event 0x65 is the ‘game over event’-if this is triggered, the game will go the game over screen. I would say almost anything after event 0x65 is a ‘perma-event’, meaning that the event ID remains in use after every chapter. Earlier event IDs, like 0x01-0x64, are not permanent. After the chapter is done, they get reset to not being triggered.

Actually, I have a confession. I’m not sure which events are permaevents and which are not-I only have a VERY vague idea. It shouldn’t be a problem though, hopefully. Oh well. :\

So, back to where event IDs come from:

• Scenic events

• Location events (villages, seize)

• Death quotes

• Battle quotes

• Triangle attack battle quotes (yes, even this)

• Events in general

These are all shared. Meaning if say, event 0x14 is triggered because of a battle quote, and an event with ID 0x14 is supposed to happen in a scenic event, it won’t happen, because event 0x14 was already triggered (and the game is trying to avoid having the same event happen twice). Thus you have to manage which events you use and how you manipulate them.

With this background, you’re ready to step into events! Unfortunately, events are chapters ahead of us. D=

Also, here is a list of known event ID’s (event ID’s known to be reserved for something), straight from the Event Assembler.
