Summary

Hello, To start with I'll say that I know there are countless tutorials on this and I've followed several of them word for word but I'm still having trouble trying to set up a simple event where an NPC gives the player a quest to find their spear. It's just a test really, to see if I can get it to work and so far, I can't.  Basically, I trigger my first switch on page 1 and on pages 2 and 3 of the event, I've got the conditional box ticked...

Hello,

To start with I'll say that I know there are countless tutorials on this and I've followed several of them word for word but I'm still having trouble trying to set up a simple event where an NPC gives the player a quest to find their spear. It's just a test really, to see if I can get it to work and so far, I can't. 

Basically, I trigger my first switch on page 1 and on pages 2 and 3 of the event, I've got the conditional box ticked that says "only run this page if this switch is on" and when I play test, it always just runs the last page of the event (in this case, page 3) before any other events have happened. It's like the system thinks that all switches are always on and so it just plays the final page of the event when I talk to the character. I think the screenshots explain it better.

The second switch "Item Found" is activated by a chest containing the item in question (screenshots provided.)

I've tried activating a self switch on the first page and ticking the "self switch A On" box on pages 2 & 3 and that displayed the first page, but then skipped page 2 and went straight to page 3. If I just tick the "self switch A On" box on page 2, not page 3, again the event just skips straight to page 3 from the beginning.

It's like my switches, or the conditional tick boxes relating to them aren't working. Please someone tell me I've just made a simple rookie error and it's easily fixable?

Thanks in advance for any help
