Pet script by "originalwij" v1.0, like caterpillar only for a pet Options

[slaQ]

Hey everyone,

I was looking for a pet script, and as of now originalwij has been so kind to provide us with one.

Be sure to thank him, and NOT me.

greetings, slaQ

Seriously? zero replies?

There must be someone willing to give this a shot...

If not then I guess I'll have to learn myself some ruby

I personally can't script. But for someone else, it should be a fairly easy script. You just have to relocate your post to here: http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showforum=93

Before you repost it, though, ask a mod to close this one so you don't have multiple posts of the same thing.

To use: setup the enable switch and the pet ID (top of the script)
NOTE: The pet ID refers to the ID of an actual actor in the database, but only the walking graphic needs to be set.

[slaQ]

Yes! this is beautiful! exactly how I'd imagined

I really owe you for this one originalwij.

Is there anything I can give back to you? Maybe help you out with some graphical stuff perhaps ?
(I'm a professional graphics designer)

Just name it and I'll fix it for you

Thanks again,

slaQ

[woratana]

Nice~^^

Will this script work with caterpillar? Just curious.^^

[originalwij]

@slaQ

Thanks, glad to help!
I'll PM you when I figure out what graphics I need. I'm a scripter (obviously) and not very good at graphics ...

@woratana

I don't believe it will work with a caterpillar script as it is a mini-caterpillar script itself, but I will see what I can do ....

Sorry how do u use this im nwe to RPG maker VX and well im really not taht good could you please make a tiny beginers guild of how to use this thanks i would be truly grateful and thank you fro the scrpit

[originalwij]

Update (per Woratana's question): this script IS compatible with Trickster's caterpillar script (the one I use)
However, if you use both, the pet will overlap the first actor in the caterpillar.

There is a fix though: find and replace the line I specified with the code below it ....

CODE

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Update Followers
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_followers
    flag = $game_player.transparent || $game_switches[CATERPILLAR]
    @followers.each_with_index do |char, i|
      char.actor = @actors[i + 1]   <======= replace this line with the code below

      if $game_switches[1] and i == 0
        char.actor = @actors[i + 6]
      elsif $game_switches[1]
        char.actor = @actors[i]
      else
        char.actor = @actors[i + 1]
      end

... where the switch specified is the same switch specified in the Pet Script
AND the number "6" is the actor ID of a blank actor
EDIT: you also need to increase the caterpillar size by 1 to make room for the blank character (where the pet will appear)

@ Kakeru
1) insert the script in the materials section above main in the script window
2) specify the switch and the pet ID at the top of the script (change them to fit your game)
3) turn on the switch in the game (using an event command) to activate the pet (or switch off to deactivate)

Am I missing something? What does it actually do? Like does the pet fight in battle? I may sound like a complete tard for asking, but for some odd reason I can't figure out what the script is for. Well, besides pets, but what about the pets? Like do they follow you? Fight for you? Join your party? Do you have to feed them & take care of them? I'm really lost. All i know is that it's a script about pets, but no one said what it does.

[originalwij]

@Oralom
it just adds the pet to follow you, without being in the party, that's it.
the pet in this script does nothing.
I scripted it as a request.
it's up to you to add scripts/events to make it do what you want it to (ex. auto-battle in a party, find items, etc.)

[N2Y]

This script is fantastic.

Any chance this could be converted to RMXP? The only caterpillar scripts offered for RMXP need actual party members, which is not what I need.

Anyways, great job nonetheless!

[originalwij]

i'm not sure if it could be converted to XP or not.
i've never worked with XP (went from 2003 to VX)
but, if someone else can port it to XP, you have my permission ...

[nobodyreal]

I've been looking for a script like this for a really long time. Thanks originalwij! I have a question though. Is there a way to allow more than one pet? Like if I have a princess that follows you at one point of the game, and a dog that follows you at another point, is there a way to do that and have different switches activate each one?

[kamster94]

can u add txt file with this script? because when i try to copy it, and paste, it is all in one line ;( pls help
(it may be due by php interpretor)

[originalwij]

@nobodyreal
just change the graphic for the pet (actor) using the corresponding event command to do so.
that way you could have unlimited pets (actors) (just not at the same time)

@kamster94
try pasting it into Notepad/Wordpad first .... (usually works)
(if not i'll post a demo, let me know)

[GuyInTraining]

Originalwij, would you please add a feature to show "Baloon Icons" on the pet via call script or something?
I think it would be nice for events...

[trizty]

Is it possible to disable the jump for the pet (I have a huge bird for a pet, but I was having difficulty figuring this out), preferably with a switch or variable so that in some cases, I can enable the jump?

[darkubersaw]

is there a way for you to make it so i can "talk" to the pet and it will give choices like "Feed", "Play" ect.?

[buny]

how to giving a pet name or function to attack or waaaaaatt??
