How to reset Steps to 0 ???

[Will'sWitheredWildebeestWill's]

I have a Common Event which makes Variable "Steps Taken" = to Steps
I'm trying to run a Map Event like this:

When Variable "Steps Taken" >/= 30
Run Common Event
Set Variable "Steps Taken" to 0
Exit Event Processing

I think I need a way to reset Steps to 0, because when the Map Event ends, the Common Event sets Variable "Steps Taken" = to Steps again, and (I think) Steps doesn't automatically reset to 0 after an Event

I just tried this:
$gameParty.change_steps(0)

It said "error $gameParty.change_steps(0) is not a function" :'c

this also failed:
$gameParty.increaseSteps(-30)

no error... so it is a function, it just didn't reset steps

I think this'll reset the internal step counter:

$gameParty._steps = 0;

Not sure if that'll mess anything up, though; typically the step counter starts at zero and only ever increases. =O

The usual approach would be to have two variables, one for a "zero" marker (remembers steps when you started counting) and one for the actual counter, e.g.

◆Control Variables：#0042 stepCount = Steps
◆Control Variables：#0042 stepCount -= stepStart
◆If：stepCount ≥ 30
  ◆Text：None, Window, Bottom
  ：    ：30 steps taken!
  ◆Control Variables：#0041 stepStart = Steps
  ◆
：End

Thank you very much you saved me
