Great work on this Legacy

I fixed all the little mistakes in the thread and pinned the topic. So if you need any script support, just come on in

Hey, no requests at all? Any feedback or ideas for this, RRR?

I'm not really sure if this question belongs here

but still:

Is it possible to have a script that can activate/deactivate other scripts with in-game commands? [similar to the tons-of-addns thing]

Eventhough I'm overly busy with other stuff, if that's possible, I'd give it a shot and try to make it.
[example of use: have a battler or a sideview battlestyles depending depending on the creature you fight by adding a activation script line before battle processing]

So yeah

probably wrong place to ask, but since noone else is asking anything mightaswell use it to bump the topic

If youre answering questions i have 3

Would it be possible to create a script that copies an existing event and places the copy at a location you specify?

Is it possible to create a script that calls up the item menu, lets you select an item and then stores the value of the item to a variable?

And how bout a script that matches X and Y coordinates to a set of variables and then identifies the parent event?
(So you dont need to write a list of if statements a mile long)

The Law G14

Dec 4 2009, 06:22 PM

@Dummy: Hm, that seems like something really difficult to do. I do know of an easy way to deactivate a whole script very easily by putting

CODE

=begin

at the beginning of the script which will comment out everything below it. If that's not what you're looking for, I have an idea on how you could go about doing this.

@Darkreaper: I don't have your first or third questions figured out yet, but for your second question, I have a pretty rough draft of what I think you're looking for:

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Item
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs item screen processing.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Alias Listing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias law_item_variable_update_item update_item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update (when item window is active)
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_item
    law_item_variable_update_item
    # If C button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      # Get currently selected data on the item window
      $game_variables[1] = @item
      $scene = Scene_Map.new
    end
  end
end

Just open up your item screen, pick an item, and it should be saved in variable 1. You can change what variable it is stored in the 5th to last line of the script.

awesome, where would i install that?

Night_Runner

Dec 5 2009, 02:54 AM

Darkreaper? I remember Charlie Lee & Ty tried answering your question.....
Basically, Sephiroth's script isn't what you're after, it lets you make events, not make copies of them.
Charlie's Auto Populate script hosted here only lets you create copies of events. Unfortunately, I think you need to sign up to RMVXP to see the post, but you won't be able to understand what's going on without Charlie's instructions...
I don't think charlie's script lets you just put the event's clone at a position, but I've got an edited version I can PM you if you want (I got the impression he wouldn't appreciate me posting it here).

2) If you go into the Script Editor, and scroll down to the bottom there should be Main, just right click and insert The Law's script before Main, but Scene_Debug

Oh well, I've made a script for your question 3, read through the instructions a the start, but basically have an event run:

CODE

event_at(7, 8, 9)

and it will look in variable #7 for the x, variable #8 for the y, and return the event at (x, y) in variable #9

[Show/Hide] Night_Runner's Event_At script

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ** Night_Runner's Event_At Script

# Date Created: 5/Dec/09
#      Version: 1.0
# Created for Darkreaper
#  @> http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37119
#
# DESCRIPTION:
#  This script is designed to find the event at a certain x and y coordinates,
#   and return the event's ID number, or 0 if no events are present.
#
# USAGE:
#  Have an event run the script:
#    event_at(3, 4, 5)
#   and this script will look in the game variable 3 for the x coordinate, the
#   game variable 4 for the y coordinate, and will return the event's ID in the
#   game variable 5.
#
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================

#  Edited to have the event_at command
#==============================================================================

  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Event at (x-coordinate-variable, y-coordinate-variable,
  #              event_id-variable)
  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def event_at(x_var, y_var, ret_var)
    # Get the x & y from the variable
    x = $game_variables[x_var]
    y = $game_variables[y_var]
    # Set the variable to 0 by default
    $game_variables[ret_var] = 0
    # For each event
    for event in $game_map.events.values
      # If the event's x & y match
      if event.x == x and event.y == y
        # Set the variable to the event ID
        $game_variables[ret_var] = event.id
        # Break the for loop
        break
      end
    end
  end

So i think it kinda works, but not how i need it.
What im using it for is for cooking:
Say you have an apple and a fish, you make a fire and want to cook some food. So you "use" the fire and it pulls up your inventory screen and lets you choose what you want to cook. You pick the fish, it removes the fish item and after a little bit gives you a "Cooked Fish" item

Sorry for the late response, but does this item screen only inlcdue items that can be cooked or just any item in your inventory inlcuding weapons and armor?

Darkreaper

Dec 6 2009, 07:45 PM

well id prefer it if it was only "cookable" items, but i dont know if thats possible or worth the trouble

This is a rough draft of what I have so far. Just make an event and go to the third page of the list of event commands and click Script. Type in this code:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Cooking.new

To change what variable the item is stored in, go to line 81 of the script.

Hope I was at least kind of close lol:

@Dummy:
Assuming you mean whether it's possible to activate/deactive scripts dynamically in-game then I am afraid it's in the general case impossible. I believe that problem is undecidable. If it is, then it is impossible to write an algorithm which solves the problem in the general case.
In that case I would suggest dealing with it application specific. I.e. customizing the scripts so they can be turned on and off dynamically.

If you are talking about statically say not evaluating certain sections, then that is very much possible.

@Darkreaper: Did you put weapons or armor in there? I only made it so that it included items only but I can add weapons and armor if you want. Also, do you have any other custom scripts?

@Darkreaper: Did you put weapons or armor in there? I only made it so that it included items only but I can add weapons and armor if you want. Also, do you have any other custom scripts?

No i didnt try it with armour or anything, just with items and this is the only custom script i have so far

Ah, I found out what the problem is, just change that line that has an error, which should be line 94, to this:

CODE

@cooking_window.draw_item(@cooking_window.index)

ok no error now

but still not showing the item names, just the icon. Tried cooking a few items, but i think they just ended up using them, it did store the value of the item to the variable though. Although its a long string and im not sure what it means

That's weird, it should be displaying the item name, what does your event look like?

which one, the cooking event? or the display variable event?

The Law G14

The cooking event. Also, I've got around making it so that it doesn't show a long string of text when you talk to the display variable event. I've added another $game_variable at line 82 of the script. Just display that variable if you'd like to show the name of the item:

Did you put in the game variable for the string of text for the item or the actual item because it's important that you keep them seperate. The first game variable (the one that you had already set) is for cooking, the new one is for showing the item's name. Just send me a PM with the project that has your cooking event and I'll see what I can do

On line 90 of the script is where you put what game_variable is assigned the item name. On line 91 is where you put what game_variable is assigned the actual item, which is what you use to cook.

I am sure you guys would appreciate the necro-post, xD

This is a noob question, but I have been having a little trouble trying to figure it out:

RPGM VX, how do I use game variables in a script?
( I understand you guys are in the XP section, but I noticed this was untouched, and thought I might give you guys a small question to answer)

Right now I have a script that adds to stats on level up. (reijubv's)

It works with a hash:

Actor_MaxInc[1] = [ 5 , 3 ,3 , 3 , 1 , 2 , 0 , 0 , 0] #Maximum increment
Actor_MinInc[1] = [ 1 , 1 ,1 , 1 , 0 , 1 , 0 , 0 , 0] #Minimum increment

So the question is, how do I replace the numbers up there^ with game variables?

@game_variable[X] is the right syntax?

But if I place that into the hash, I get a syntax error, so do I need to create separate variables in script, and set then to the variables I want to use, and then make the array with those?

Or is there a more simple way?

The Law G14

Jan 8 2010, 02:38 PM

Well, you got the syntax for variables a little wrong, it should look like this:

CODE

$game_variables[X]

Try putting that into your array to see if it works

The problem is that $game_variables isn't yet defined ....
Somewhere in Scene_Title it defines $game_variables = Game_Variables.new, but it reaches this bit of code before it reaches Scene_Title ....

Sorry, ummmmmmmmm, try something like this, it's mostly the same, but kinda not....

  # >  Released on: 27/04/2009
  # >  Version: 1.1 (April 25th 2009)
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # > Changelog:
  #   V.1.0 (25-04-09) = Initial release
  #   V.1.1 (29-04-09) = Added a function to restore HP/MP to max when level up
  #   V.1.1a (30-04-09) = Fixed a small bug wich I forgot to write something in
  #                                    the script that can makes the game crashes.....
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # >  Information:
  # This script will modify an actor's stats gain on level up by a random number
  # between maximum and minimum amount that you can specify for each actors.
  # For example, you set an actor's minimum AGI stat to 1 and maximum AGI stat to 5,
  # when that actor gains a level, he/she'll gains AGI by random number between 1 to 5!
  # I suggest you set actor's stats in database to the same from his/her starting level
  # to 99, so if in database your actor's HP at starting level is 100, from that level
  # to 99 the HP should not be changed! This's just a suggestion anyway....

The problem is that $game_variables isn't yet defined ....
Somewhere in Scene_Title it defines $game_variables = Game_Variables.new, but it reaches this bit of code before it reaches Scene_Title ....

Sorry, ummmmmmmmm, try something like this, it's mostly the same, but kinda not....

   # > Changelog:
   #   V.1.0 (25-04-09) = Initial release
   #   V.1.1 (29-04-09) = Added a function to restore HP/MP to max when level up

   #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # >  Information:
   # This script will modify an actor's stats gain on level up by a random number
   # between maximum and minimum amount that you can specify for each actors.
   # For example, you set an actor's minimum AGI stat to 1 and maximum AGI stat to 5,
   # when that actor gains a level, he/she'll gains AGI by random number between 1 to 5!
   # I suggest you set actor's stats in database to the same from his/her starting level
   # to 99, so if in database your actor's HP at starting level is 100, from that level
   # to 99 the HP should not be changed! This's just a suggestion anyway....

In RM2k and 2k3 there were the options to swap tiles and even change entire tilesets. These features are absent in rmxp, any chance a script could be coded to bring them back?

I'd like to make a suggestion for a future tutorial, it's basically an instructional one.

The main focus is how to find out what code to use, say for example there's no one you can ask, How could you discover how to say for example insert an image, even if the solution is within the help file, instructions on what part of the help file to check, how to look through the default scripts to find a similar line etc.

Just so when someone comes to the point where they wish to try something themselves without the answer there in front of them can go about searching and discovering it, without help.

well technically i need a few scripts

but ive tried to work around the cooking one, for now im just using eventing. But im also trying to get the populate script to work, without much success

   # For example, you set an actor's minimum AGI stat to 1 and maximum AGI stat to 5,
   # when that actor gains a level, he/she'll gains AGI by random number between 1 to 5!
   # I suggest you set actor's stats in database to the same from his/her starting level
   # to 99, so if in database your actor's HP at starting level is 100, from that level
   # to 99 the HP should not be changed! This's just a suggestion anyway....

It doesn't error out, but then again, I have no idea what the script actually does or how it works (sorry)

If it doesn't work, it will need a more manual approach, so I'll need to know specifically which stats follow a variable, and it will be applied to every actor...

I am not at my desktop, so I can't check, but will later, thanks for the help.

Hey I have a couple of questions about this Stat Randomization Script...

First off, is there a version of it for RMXP?
And if there is, does anyone think it could be modded to work with Blizzards' CSGS (Custom Stat Growing System)?
Because Blizzards' system eliminates leveling, this stat randomization script isn't exactly compatible, that is, even if there's a version of it for XP.

Anyway, if it could, then in-game once your actor reaches their limit for actions determining a stat increase, instead of raising the stat by a set amount, raises it by a random number between a min and max, giving the effect that your stat increases aren't always the same, and could possibly give you the illusion of a die roll system like D&D 3.5 rules where once you've earned the stat increase (in D&D its a level up) then the die of your size (obviously governed by the min and max; in D&D it's set by which class you are) is rolled to configure how much of a bonus you'd receive to that stat.

If something like that would be more work that its worth then never mind, but it would be a cool aspect to add to an already D&D-esque rpg.
