    I believe I have 3 answers for you.

    1) check the maps metadata you might have it set as an outside map which would cause it to get dark at night

    2) you are correct in a way. You need to have the exact number of entries as it says on the wiki for that encounter type. You can't just put in a random amount of entries

    3) you need to open the editor and edit the maps metadata. There is an option for it

    • I looked for the option but couldn't find it. What's its name in the Debug?

    Also, a new issue. I put this into a Script Call (Event) to get 3x Potions:

    Kernel.pbReceiveItem(PBItems::POTION,3)

    But it gives me a syntax error saying that the ( shouldn't be there - that it should be at the end; however, that's right from the Wiki, and it should work :( confused why it's erroring.

    1. Check the metadata. Only Outdoor maps have day/night shading.

    3. Check the metadata. Only maps that ShowArea will show the location signpost.

    That's not what you've typed into the event's script box, though. What you've typed is this:
    Code: 
    Kernel.pbReceiveItem
(PBItems::POTION,3)
    It should look like this:
    Code: 
    Kernel.pbReceiveItem(
PBItems::POTION,3)
    You know, with the open bracket at the end of the previous line, like the error message tells you to do. It's a common error.

    • OK, that worked :) I had just copy/pasted what was in the Wiki, and the Essentials demo game didn't have a "give item" example (or I couldn't find it).

    Thanks :0 everything works now!

    Well, giving items is generally done in a Conditional Branch, which allows you to state what happens if the player can't receive the item(s). Route 2 has a bunch of item balls which do this, and Route 8's Harbour map has a couple of similar things.
