Skipping Custom Evented Splash Screens using Chikuwa

じ☆ve冰风

Here's a video tutorial that I made that demonstrates how to skip evented splash screens


It assumes you are using a plugin that allows you to use an event to build your splash screen, such as Pre-Title Events


Background Information


A splash screen looks something like this:

​

It's a sequence of animations that you might show when your game launches.


Now, what if you wanted to skip it after the player has seen it once?


Solution?


You may be familiar with event commands such as "Control Switches" or "Control Variables".


So what you might do is to simply turn on a switch or set a variable to a certain value, and then use a conditional branch to determine whether the splash screen sequence should be skipped or not.


Problems


One problem with these commands is they only apply to the specific save files that you are working with.


Pre-title screens, on the other hand, do not load any particular save file information, so if you tried to create a conditional branch on a certain variable, it wouldn't help because those variables settings will not be saved.


One solution is to use a plugin that will allow you to access "global" data. That is, data that is independent of save files. You could use this data anywhere: during the title screen, from OTHER save files, and so on.


The plugin I used to accomplish this is the Shared Variables Plugin, Chikawa, which provides you with an easy way to create "shared variables".


Tutorial


I have created a tutorial in video format, which demonstrates how it's done. It shows the plugin command that you use to set the shared variable, as well as the conditional branch that you will need in order to check the value.

​

Let me know what you think of the video tutorial.


I have made a lot of assumptions about the viewer's knowledge of RPG Maker MV.
