RMVX Caterpillar Script Options

[Ilikepie123]

In RPG Maker VX's script editor, there are default scripts already. On the bottom there is a script called "Main". You need to post custom scripts above this script, and preferably below the "Materials" section of scripts that RPG Maker VX has defined for you. I hope this helps.

Okay yeah, I figured that out lol, its not pasting onto one line now, BUT, now it doesnt work T.T It pasted so its not just one line, and I had an error msg, I repasted it, now there is no error message, but it doesnt catarpillar.. Do I have to edit the script so that certain actors follow the leader? Or is it something else? Im confused T.T please help

Okay, now I know thats not the problem... I start the game out with one actor, is that the problem? I know for SURE its not because of the script. I tried it in a test project, with a script I was using (Day and Night script) and that worked, so I have no idea what it could be...
But just for future reference: I have an event in the character's house that when you touch it, your character graphic turns to normal... And the screen tint changed to normal...
I have the game started out with an event that gives you 5k Gold.. Is that it? (its below the player, when you touch it it triggers a switch turning off the event) I think that would most likely be it... But I really need help...

you're not using switch 2 are you? in the script, that switch determines whether to show the caterpillar or not (you can change it to whatever you want).

It doesn't go below main, it goes in the empty section for new scripts (which should be the first one above main)

[Master Shwuan]

I have the scrpit above main..and everytime I do so..when i try to start the game it would refer me to line 62 and say syntax error..but if I put it below main the game seems to work fine but I cannot get the characters to follow me..? and I have used a few scripts from here earlier today and I have only encountered this problem just recently...

Hi, I just wanted to say "Great Job" on this script! It took me all of 3 seconds to copy and paste into my project and it worked instantly with no problems!
Also, I wanted to mention that it did slow my FPS down a bit and made it lag noticeably occasionally... But I can live with it, great job again!

Question: Is there anyway to use the moving sprites during battle? Like in the early FF side-view battles?
Thanks

I don't know if it's this script or another, but large sprites don't display the way I want them to

EDIT: Also, how would I go about controlling the sprites that are following the hero via events? I'd really like to code a Chrono Trigger style battle system, or an ABS if all else fails.

EDIT 2: I fixed it by changing the priority_type to 1. Is there any way I can store/set the caterpillar's X and Y variables through event/scripting? I can't seem to make sense of some of the code.

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks for the update on the priority_type. I only noticed that problem recently (though I hadn't bothered to fix it yet).

Unfortunately this script won't be able to handle doing anything with the followers. All it does is draw them on the screen. A Chrono Trigger style script would need to be written from the ground up.

Is there any way to store their X, Y, and facing directions into non-script variables to use for positioning events on the map?

Yes, that should be possible. I'll think about adding it sometime.

[voodooKobra]

I found a way to do it.

Keep in kind that I use variables 21, 22, and 23 for ally 1 and 24, 25, and 26 for ally 2.

CODE

$game_variables[21+(3*i)] = @followers[i].x
      $game_variables[22+(3*i)] = @followers[i].y
      $game_variables[23+(3*i)] = @move_list[i].type

Add to move_party (at about line 190) above the case @move_list[i].type line

It's not perfect, but I think I can get it to work for my purpose .

I'm not having the dashing problem with the original script!
Just thought I;d let you know.

[svispo]

I have a problem ... when I quit the game: "Error 130 $ game_party.followers.each do | char |"
What should I do?

It looks like you might have inadvertedly put a space in between $ and game_party, delete that space.

[TLOAJohn]

[AlyxO]

Is it somehow possible to change the charackters who follow with the first one?

If Switch 2 is on, the caterpillar is deactivated. You can change the switch # in the script.
