[Eventing Question] How to make an event only trigger when approach from behind / event looking the other way?

[Pokemon Wild]

Hey all,

I have an overworld Pokemon event, a Jigglypuff.

I want to make it so Jigglypuff puts you to sleep if you engage it from the front or side, but will trigger a battle if you approach it from behind.
'
I attempted as such but it does not work, I also tried moving the player conditional branch before the "else" locations but still no luck, any thoughts?

it follows on for each facing direction (left, right, up, down)

Thanks in advance :)

The solution is simple your are not check the player upfront jiggly puff, instead of trainer you checked for jiggly puff .., so change like this

Change code to -
Conditional Branch : Player is facing Down or Any side you want.

but if I only check the player facing we are not checking to see if we are engaging the Pokemon from behind right? unless im being super dumb. The check needs to be to see that both events are facing the same way, (the event pokemion moves around the map randomly) given its an action engaged event, I can only be facing the same way as the event to essentially be engaging it from behind.

I see so the jiggly puff moves around? If we only aprroch that from back then it will battle?

correct I only want it so if i hit enter from its behind it will work. basically like creeping up on it so its not aware is what im trying to replicate, while it is not looking

what are the empty events doing? and why only player facing down? what if I interact with jigglypuff while facing down and jiggflypuff is facing up. i.e looking right at each other, we dont want to trigger a battle as he will be looking right at me, thanks for trying so fat though!

- Empty events for the jiggly puff won't go faraway , so the jiggly puff moves around in the box

- Player facing down because you want to battle with jiggly puff only when aprroch from backside that's why i'm using Player down

- Jiggly puff event doesn't matter we will check the player only, the event will trigger only when the player turn down or else we can use extra Conditional branch for Jiggly puff also

- Yeah no problem.

If you want jiggly puff only battle when turns down then add Extra Condional branch inside a Player Conditional branch

Add inside of Player is facing down
- Conditional Branch : Jiggly is facing down

so thats the same as what I was trying in my first image,

I have found the core issue, the script that starts the battle turns the event always to the player, meaning the conditional checks are not met, as the event and player are now facing each other and your not behind the event now

I have tried to use a move route to set fixed direction to on as the first entry in the event sequence, this only triggers AFTER the event turns to the player for some reason still, so does not work :(
