First click on an event on the event layer that way its highlighted. Now press F12 and Enter at the same time and then keep mashing enter. The event should open up as well as the RGSS Player.

But wierd thing is y ou edit stuff and then you refresh the game by pressing F12 but it doenst change it. Well first edit what you need to while keeping the game open, then press Ctrl + S to save the game. Refresh the game by pressing F12 now. Load it up and changes have been saved and are now working. This is a great way to test scripts and stuff and if you need to change anything in events for an event system you can change it right than and there.

Have fun :) I know I will xD

The neat thing too is you can edit it with three different rgss players open. I just did it but you gotta mash enter after you press F12 and enter at the same time.

Actually there's a better way to do this. I use it in my game. I can alter maps, data, anything (except scripts) and load them into the game without restarting it. i.e. I realize a boss has an attack that is too strong and I'm halfway done killing him. I simply remove the attack, press the "Reload Data" button and that's it. :) Maybe I should release it as special mini script.

@blizz: that seems like a very nice mini script that can help with playtesting and fixing events and in your case bosses.

Alright, I'll put it up somewhere during next week or tomorrow.

Well dont mash it real hard xD just press it repeatedly fast but softly

Use the F12 fix and you only have to press it once. :P Or run Game.exe rather that starting the game through the editor.
