Elevtion passability Options

[breadlord]

This script solves the problem of how to stop the player stepping from one tile to the next when you've mapped them to look like there a few tiles away hieght wise. Instuctions in the script and if you need help with something just ask.

[Show/Hide] Screenies

Now these arn't very clear but..


Oh no, he cant miracously jump between things at differnt hieghts, what will he do..


Use the stairs

###################### Breadlords Elavation Passability ########################
## This script solves the problem of how to stop the player stepping from one ##
## tile to the next when you've mapped them to look like there a few tiles ##
## away hieght wise. To set up the different areas of 'elevation', while ##
## making the map in the editor, make an area named level:?, where ? is the ##
## elevation level you want it to have, and have the area cover the parts you ##
## want to be 'elevated'. You can have as many areas as you want with what - ##
## ever level of 'elavation' you want. Note : You can only have POSITIVE ##
## levels of elavation. Note : All parts of the map not in an area with level ##
## :whatever are counted as having a level of 0. To make a player be able to ##
## cross from 1 elavation level to an other use $game_player.level = whatever ##
## were whatever is whatever elavation level you want the player to go on, ##
## this must be put in an event directly before the place were the eleavation ##
## is what you've just set the player to go on, so say if |1| is an area with ##
## level 1 elavation and |2| is an area with level 2 elavation and |E| is an ##
## event with the command $game_player.level = 2 you would put the event like ##
## this : |1||E||2|. To set an events elavation level use $game_map.events[id]##
## .level = whatever, were id is the events id and whatever is the elavation ##
## you want it to have. ##

Probably useful for some people but you can hold shift down in the editor to accomplish the same effect. It might mess with the engine when your trying to make a wall on the same level as well
Also not much of an issue but the tile you used to walk on is the wrong one.

Edit:
I was able to do this in a few minutes, a little time consuming but more or less the same thing you did with the script

Yeah that doesn't work... Unless you left a step out, that is.

Anyways, Breadlord, see if you can't work together with Onidsouza to incorporate this into his jump system... as it is, you can jump over walls and that's not good...

[Twilight]

Nothing left out, you just have to plan ahead, particularly for the areas that appear elevated.
You have to leave it blank, else VX will not recognize you holding down shift.

[deffenex]

This is my dream script, I had even requested it, thanks breadlord!!!!

Octuple - For the jump system, don't use CTRL and put this script below.

Twilight - I think your missundertanding what this script does, It doesn't make itlook like that, it
makes it so the player, lets say on the example map, can't walk from the top of one on
to the other one like there was no hieght difference.

Deffenex - Lucky you

[Octople Threat]

Using control isn't the problem... At least I don't think... What I mean is when you're in a house, you can jump over the walls if they're one less tile than your jump length... It would be fantastic if you could make it so any height more than two elevations up was unjumpable... sorry if that didn't make much sense... I'll try and clarify if you don't understand...

[breadlord]

Yea, I'll try that. I thought you ment that the jump script was messing up the passability. Wich can happen when using control.

Edit : Got the jump script working with this, the player can jump between things with 1 level difference. To do this replace the jump script with
this edited one :

NI-ICE! That is epic! You are really coming along as a scripter, buddy, and I can't wait to see what else you crank out!

[breadlord]

Thanks

[tofuman]

This is great script.. So I tried it and...

It didn't work... and there was no other script when I tested it..

Maybe I did something wrong....

Can you upload a demo please?

This post has been edited by tofuman: Jun 30 2009, 03:28 AM

[breadlord]

Demo uploaded.

[tofuman]

Wow! Thank you! I don't know what was wrong before but now its working perfectly fine!:p

[breadlord]

Nice to hear

[tofuman]

Um.. sorry to post again... but.

When I used demo, it worked fine...

but when I move it to new project and did exactly same as your demo...

when I stand on the event where change the elevation of the player..

It shows "Syntax Error occured while running script"...

I used only this script so it is not a compatibility problem...

other functions are working perfectly fine...

I just don't get why this happens...

[breadlord]

If it says that, then that means there was a problem with your event. Please can you post the thing youve put in your event?

[tofuman]

I can't post it right now cause I'm currently working..(I'm in Korea right now)

But the thing is that I copied the event you made and pasted it into my project...

So it is exactly same as your demo's event. (I adjusted the number of the elevation though...)

I'll post it when I'm done with the work here...

[breadlord]

Ok. I'm a bit baffled though by why it wont work.

Edit : Wait, did you insert the first script or the second one (In this topic).

[tofuman]

Here is link

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rtydryywmkd

I used one in your demo.

[breadlord]

I'm sorry to say this but the only reason I can think of that this doen't work is that you have a japanes version and I think thats causing the problem.
