“Title Map” aka title screen


【Goal】In the sample map “0:Title“, there should only be one event named “Title Event“. In this tutorial, I will explain what this event is doing.


[1] What is the “Title Event” doing?

Below is a brief summary of processes performed by the event.

  • Displays a title image at the moment the game starts
  • Gives the player three options: “Start“, “Continue“, and “Quit Game
  • Start” will transition the player to a new map (Wolfarl will introduce the game)
  • Continue” will display a save/load screen
  • Quit Game” will end the game

[2] Exploring the “Title Event”

Click on the Map Selection icon –> Choose “0:Title

Right-click on the only event in the middle of the map

Select “Event Create/Edit


[3] The “Title Event” window should be displayed

Pay attention to the start “Condition” and the Event Command Field box (on the right).


[4] Setting the start condition to “Autorun”

To begin with, the start condition should be set to “Autorun“.

This means that if there are characters on the same map, the event will run regardless of the player’s location.

In other words, with this condition, if you set the start position of the game to somewhere on the “0:Title” map, the title screen will be automatically displayed no matter where you are.


[5] Specific details about the whole process

The SmokingWolf (creator of the guide) has added (green) comments to the Event Command Field.

You might be surprised to see how many comments there are, but for now, it’s fine to just look at the section under “Choice: Case [1] Start


[6] What are the important points of this event?

This title event can be modified slightly for personal use as long as you keep the following points in mind:

  • When “Start” is selected, the player will spawn in a preset map (Sample Map A). In order to have the player spawn in a different map, you will need to go to the title event’s command field and change the destination. (refer to part [5])
  • In addition, please change the message (Wolfarl’s introduction) as well. After that, delete the “Directions when starting the game” part.

If you don’t understand, just delete the lines that begin with “Show Message: Wolfarl\n”.

[Caution] If you accidentally delete the “Move Location” or “Transfer” command above the “Directions when starting the game”, you will be stuck on the title screen.
