Issue with a battle event

[Linkforce]

Alright, so I have a common event that triggers in a certain battle.  Basically, you hit a few keys, and if you get it right, a switch activates and you learn a skill.  The problem I have is that I cant stop this event from happening every time you fight that same enemy.  Like I have "End Event Processing" but it doesn't work...any suggestions?

If you need a screen or something to better understand it or if you want me to to explain more, just let me know!
Thank you!!

Easiest way would probably be to activate a switch.
The end event processing only works THAT time. If you exit and enters a map/battle - It will no longer be valid.

I have a switch that activates once you complete the arrow combination's.  The switch activates another battle event that reads End Event Processing which is supposed to stop that event from happening again in battle.  But it doesn't work :/

Hmm. in the begining of the first event - have a conditional branch check if the switch is OFF.
the yes would be the entire event.
the NO would be nothing. Meaning that nothing happens.

So kinda like this.

Battle groups:
battle event.
trigger : whatever it was.

<> conditional branch: switch[battle learn1] is OFF
.<>yes
     input arrows and crap.
     if success:
...<>YES
       learn skill
       activate switch [battle learn 1]
...<>NO
       play sound: failure 2
       activate switch [battle learn 1]
.<>No
     
<>end

Ok here's a pic of the common event...I figured this would be easier for you lol.

But that's a common event isn't it? Wouldn't it be better to use a battle event?

[Linkforce]

You're right...lol ok here's the battle event, crudely put together:

It might work if you make a fork with the switch activated, and make the ELSE do all the other stuff.  That way, if the switch is ON, it won't do anything, and you won't be able to relearn skills over and over.

.......I'm afraid im confused by your solution lol

So wait; you want the Ledron Combo event to NOT happen entirely once he learns the skill?

Also you say you used a switch to activate another event that has end event processing, so Ledron won't do his skill again. I'm going to guess that "Ledron Skill 1" is the switch that you use.

Unfortunately this won't work. Even if you use a "Call Event" command or a switch/variable to activate another event with End Event Process, End Event Process command will only shut down the event page it was placed in, not the script entirely.

What you will have to do is add a fork condition at the beginning of the combo event to check whether Ledron has the Aqua Skill or not. If he doesn't then the script will do everything normally. You don't even need to make a switch for this really.

Hey sorry it took me so long to answer...but this still doesn't work.  :/  The event still comes up in battle even after he's learned the skill.  (

Maybe you could just make the first "certain battle" a separate enemy and make that battle unavoidable (seemingly random or whatever) and just make all the other battles with that enemy from a copied version, minus the events. If that make sense with the gameplay.

[Linkforce]

That would work, but the battle isn't specific to one time.  There are several times where you can encounter that enemy.  And also if the player doesn't get the combo correct the first time, there has to be more opportunities to fight that enemy.

What Rowan suggested should work. Since nothing should play when you got the skill and the entire event is in the else condition. Do you have any other events linked to this part of the game?
