[Eventing/Scripting] Services Options

[Rukiri]

I've been seeing a lot of "help" topics in either XP or the VX forum(s), so i thought I'd try to end your problem(s) by me helping you.

Now I'll mostly just be helping with Events, any any RPG Maker Problem but I'll also help with scripting. "I'm no expert but if it's basic/not too hard" I should be able to do it, well depends on what it is. I may try to create an event script that does what you want if "pure" scripting doesn't work out.

What I'll do:
I'll do anything related to coding in Events, help with the program itself, Event Scripting(using Ruby in Events).
- I'll code Addons to "Event" systems if you desire

What I won't do:
- Code you a Game.

I will however code your battle system IF it's not currently available as a script, but I'll TRY to make all the algorithms the same as if it were the default.

If anyone is requesting a Legend of Zelda ABS I'd "Recommend" reading the ruby section in the help file, yes, you can event a Zelda ABS in VX but you're still going to be using Ruby in most if not ALL your events. Event-Ruby IMO runs smoother than if you were just using Event-Variables or switches.

If I'm getting requests such as a Chrono Trigger battles system I'd recommend looking around as there have been Chrono trigger battle scripts for VX and XP.

Remember to "LOOK" before asking for anything that's related to the battle system.

We have an "Event Emporium" section of RRR for a reason. Most people are just too lazy to go there. We also have a script section.

When you report a thread, you don't need to post in the thread. This is backseat moderating. ~Rob_Riv

Moved to Event Emporium.

But I had posted in this thread before I reported it. In fact, the report was just an after-thought I'd had. Check the timestamps on my post and my report.

Well dunno if ya can help with this I doubt it woudl be too harb but here goes. I want to be able to close a pic with a press of the button for a map Item i have. I hda read something somewhere about this being done but I've read through 100,s of site gathering info/resources I made a decent world map using tons of screen shots and resizing and matching stuff up then and i know how to call a common event with a item but I am not sure how to make the picture disappear when the player hits a button. hope ya can help and ty in advance for your time

[Rukiri]

It's quite simple.

First make a event in your world map and make a condition branch check, check if you have the item in your possession.
now inside that condition branch make another and go to page 4, now put "Input.triger?(Input::Key)"

than erase the picture

If I'm wrong let me know, you said "pic" so I'd assume it's a picture.

[Mataris]

cool thank you soo much are you any good with scripting at all? I am trying to edit a script to only allow my vehicle to land on a certain terrian tag and not having any luck

# ** Vehicle Script
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Created by: albertfish
# * Version: 1.2
# * Last edited: December 16, 2009
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version History:
# Version 1.2: December 16, 2009
# - Added more configurable variables
# Version 1.1: December 16, 2009
# - Fixed compatibility issues with XAS
# Version 1.0: December 14, 2009
# - Initial release
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description:
# This script adds vehicles into RPG Maker XP.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Features:
# - Customizable vehicle speeds
# - Customizable vehicle graphics
# - Easy to setup and use and extremely user friendly
# - Plug and play, no need for any lengthy setup or install
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Usage Instructions:
# Create an event on the map where you want the vehicle to be. Set the
# event's graphic to the graphic you want the vehicle to be. Name the event
# as follows:
# v_land = land vehicle, you can travel in the same places as you do
# on foot, but at a different speed
# v_raft = water vehicle, you can travel in shallow waters
# v_ship = water vehicle, you can travel in shallow and deep waters
# v_airship = air vehicle, you can travel over anything
#
# You can also set up the terrain tag IDs that the raft and ship can
# pass over.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Install Instructions:
# Place this script above the main script and below the default scripts.
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# ** Vehicle Config
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This module contains the configuration data for the vehicles.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Begin Editable Area.
#==============================================================================
module Vehicle_Config
# This is where you set up the vehicle speeds. The vehicle speed are how much
# faster they move then when you are on foot.

# This value determines the land vehicle's speed
# Default: 1
LAND_VEHICLE_SPEED = 1

# This value determines the raft vehicle's speed
# Default: 0
RAFT_SPEED = 0

# This value determines the raft vehicle's passible terrain tag ID
# Default: 1
RAFT_PASSIBLE_TERRAIN_ID = 1

# This value determines the ship vehicle's speed
# Default: 1
SHIP_SPEED = 1

# This value determines the ship vehicle's passible terrain tag ID
# Default: 2
SHIP_PASSIBLE_TERRAIN_ID = 2

# This value determines the airship vehicle's speed
# Default: 2
AIRSHIP_SPEED = 1

That's pretty easy, 2 just means the terrain_ID the player can land on.

I'm assuming 1=block, 2="O"movable, and 3="*"behind

Im not very good at edit scripts at all if oyu could specifically tell me what code to write where so i can only land on a specific terrain tag that would be awesome (Doesnt matter what terrain tag 1,2,3, ect whatever works)

[Rukiri]

This is the variable(s) you want to edit, _PASSIBLE_TERRAIN_ID

[Mataris]

Mmmmkay sry if I'm making this hard but the only places in the script i see PASSIBLE_TERRAIN_ID are refering to what a ship or raft and sail in I am not sure where i can put that in to affect where the Airship can land. If you can explain a little more/better I would be greatful if its too much of a hassle its cool

I need an battle system script much like FF6's battle system.

Please check the dates of old threads, anything over 3 months is considered a necropost. If you need a script check the RGSS Script Request thread, thank you. Locked.
