Chrono Trigger Map v1.0
By DragonMaster

	Lately, I've been seeing several attempts to copy Chrono Trigger
in the world map. In case you've never played CT, when you near a location,
you see the name of that place. If you press the selection button while the
name is one the screen, you enter that place. There are three ways to go
about doing this:
  -The "I'm just lazy and don't have time to this right" way.
  -The right way.
  -And the good way.


  THE LAZY WAY:
	Easy. Simply make an event that triggers when the player
presses a key on it. Tell the player where they are, and have it give
a choice either to enter or leave. If the player chooses enter, teleport
to that location.


  THE RIGHT WAY:
	A little harder. First, make a picture with a size of about 120x20.
It should have the location's name on it. You'll now need 3 different events.
One set of events will be your town, and the others will be a display and erase
picture event. Here's an example.

+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 1  | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2  | 2 | 2  | 1 |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 |  3 | 2 | 1  |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2  | 2 | 2  | 1 |
+---+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 1  | 1 | 1 | 1 |
+---+---+---+---+---+

	Event "3" is yout town or village or whatever. You make it "Same level as Hero"
and "On key press". When pressed, this event will teleport you to your location. Event "2"
will be "Below Hero" and "On hero Touch". This event will show the picture for you location.
Finally, event "1" will erase your picture. Not to hard, eh?


  THE GOOD WAY:
	The last method was good, but you could only enter your town if you were
facing it. Now let's make things complicated. Get rid of event "3". Event "2" will now
show the picture AND initialize the "Enter Password" function. In the "Enter Password"
properties, only check key 5 and "Wait for Key Hit". Put a fork condition after "Enter
Password" that will teleport the player if he presses the selection key. Event "1" will
now erase the picture AND change the "Enter Password" funtion. In the "Enter Password"
properties uncheck everything.


	I'm sure there are other way to do this, so send all question, comments and
general insults to Dragon_Master_14@hotmail.com
