Trainer's ''noticing'' you, won't work.

[Lord Varion]

I'm at the stage of my game where I need to add trainers.

I've gone through the wiki several time trying to figure this out.
The battle works and everything, but noticing the player walk by doesn't.

I walk past the trainer and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

I feel stupid now. c:

Thanks anyway.

It's easiest to use the trainer comments to make trainer events. The only trick is that, after compiling the game, you need to close/restart RMXP for the event commands to show up. Afterwards, you can delete the comments and carry on with what you've got if you need to (usually you won't, though).

You should always use Kernel.pbNoticePlayer(get_character(0)) with a 0, because that means "the current event moves to the player". You used 1 in your screenshot which means "event 1 moves to the player", which happened to be right in this particular case but obviously isn't a good idea to use in general.

Actually, on the topic of trainers noticing the player, I've noticed when playtesting some trainers in my game that the [!] bubble is aligned to the tile below where the trainer is. I have updated the animation graphics for that particular animation, which I thought might be the problem, but I don't encounter problems when using it in Show Animation events; it only occurs when called by a trainer. Thoughts?
