Push Blocks, Create Push Blocks by Comments Options

[Philip]

~~ PUSH BLOCK SCRIPT ~~

Version: 1.0
Author: Philip
Release Date: 1/29/2012

~~ INTRODUCTION ~~

This script allows you to make push blocks for those dungeon puzzles that require you to push a block on a switch somewhere. It is suggested that you use Biged781's script that memorizes event positions so your push blocks will stay put if you exit the map. His script can be found here. The script will turn a designated switch on or off depending on what you specify.

~~ FEATURES ~~

This is just the basic script for the time being. Although suggestions are very welcome for new features. Critisizm is welcome if done in a polite manner. Alright, I just cleaned up the demo a bit. You MUST have RTP to use the demo.

• Designate Coordinates
• Designate Switch
• Designate True or False

#===============================================================================
# * HOW TO USE *
#
# * Put a comment in an event set to the look like the one below.
# * The event MUST be same level as player and should have some kind
# * of graphic of a block or boulder and thats it.
#
# [block: x coordinate of where the block must go, y coordinate, switch number, switch true/false]
#
# Example: [block: 5, 20, 1, true]
#
# When the event with this comment is over the map x-y coordinates (5, 20)
# the switch number 1 will be turned to true. When the block is not on
# those coordinates switch 1 will be switched to false.
#
# Example: [block: 18, 31, 29, false]
#
# When the event with this comment is over the map x-y coordinates (18, 31)
# the switch number 29 will be turned to false. When the block is not on
# those coordinates switch 29 will be switched to true.
#
#
# * This script also deals with the movement of the push blocks. Once you
# * put this comment in the event if you step into it the event will push
# * away from you and you will step forward. If you are standing next to
# * it and you press the "ENTER" button the push block will be pulled in
# * the player's direction and the player will take a step back. This is
# * done by default and no work is needed on your part. You do however
# * need to define what sound you wish to be played when you push/pull
# * the block. Define it below in the module. You don't need to define
# * the file extension; just the name. Also you can define your own volume
# * and pitch.
