If you have read through the manual (found here: https://rpg-paper-maker.github.io/) and still can't figure it out how to achieve what you want, post about it here.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a sprite disappear after the battle. I have a Wooly waiting on the map. If you interact with it, it goes to battle mode. After you win however, the Wooly sprite still there. I'm trying to make it disappear after the battle is over (you're only suppose to battle him once) but I can't figure how this out. I'm sure it's some event I have to add to the object, but which one is it?
Thanks in advance!

Have a look on this section: https://rpg-paper-maker.github.io/basics/objects-and-events/. And especially see the chest example: https://rpg-paper-maker.github.io/basics/objects-and-events/#example-create-a-chest, it's almost the same process! Just create "Dead" state, replace by dead state when winning, and then have no graphics for dead state. However, this will not make the wooly appear again when changing map. You would need to wait for "remove object from map" command before.

I am working on this on a Mac and I am unable to test my game. I press the "Play" button and I get a new icon on my dock named "GAME", but nothing else happens. Is there something I'm missing??

What is the exact version of your OS? If you are familiar with it, could you try to open your game manually with a terminal (just run ./Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game) and print the errors here? There a lot of issues with mac OSX, sorry for that!

Thanks Wano, it worked like a charm. I should go and read through that manual again. Cheers!

I'm running High Sierra. Should I be running it like this:
./rpg-paper-maker.app/Contents/MacHighSierra/rpg-paper-maker
??

No, use ./Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game for opening your game (not the engine)! Your projects should be in documents "RPG Paper Maker games". ;)

It is not running from there either :[
I click on the icon labelled "GAME" and it shows up on my dock, meaning it's in use, but no new window or anything shows up.

Sure, but if you use terminal for opening there might be some error printed that could help. But if you are not familiar with it I will try something wihtout it.

"-bash: ./Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game: No such file or directory"

^^ This is what happens when I enter it into terminal... :/

Yeah probably because you are in the wrong directory. You can use "cd Documents/RPG Paper Maker Games/MyProject" or something like that (find the path to go to your project) before running the previous command!

Maybe I'm not using the terminal correctly? It keeps telling me there is no such directory, even though the folders are there in my documents, etc. I'm not sure what is going on it should be:

Documents/RPG Paper Maker Games/FIRST-TIME/Game.app

Right? I'm not used to Terminal on a Mac

Try to go through folders step by step (write one by one):

cd ~
cd "Documents"
cd "RPG Paper Maker Games"
cd "FIRST-TIME"
./Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game

If you still have no such directory error, you can use

ls

To see the files and folders in your current folder!

Ahah this is becoming a terminal learning. :D
