Dumb Event Question?

Post by Milna »

I feel like I'm probably overlooking something simple here, but...

How do you prevent an event from happening again? I'm trying to create a one-time only event, but every time my party steps on the square again, the event loads.

What I do is get the event square to activate a multiswitch.
  • The switch will first fire off the action you really wanted it to.
    The second action will be to replace the event square that the adventurers are standing on with a dungeon floor!

Create your event using your preferred choices. Link one of those choices to a wallswitch lever by "activate target".
Tell the lever to replace the event square with a floor, and the event will never be able to activate again.
