==============================================================================
                             *** Instructions ***
 For setup an event for being pushable, you need to add a comment with one or
 more of the commands in the comment commands list. The PUSH SPEED #, 
 PUSH DISTANCE #, PUSH SOUND # and PUSH TRIGGER commands, need that the
 PUSHABLE command be added.
==============================================================================
                         *** Comment Commands List *** 
 PUSHABLE
   If the player move in the direction of the event, it will move in the same
   direction the player moves, if the event can't move in that direction, it
   will try to move in other directions.
 PUSHABLE IN DIRECTION
   If the player move in the direction of the event, it will move in the same
   direction the player moves.
 PUSHABLE #
 PUSHABLE IN DIRECTION #
   Change the # with the posible directions that the event can be pushed.
 PUSH SPEED #
   Change the # with the speed that the event will move when pushed.
 PUSH DISTANCE #
   Change the # with the tiles that the event will be pushed.
 PUSH SOUND #
   Change the # with the file name of the sound effect that will be played when
   the event is pushed.
 PUSH TRIGGER
   The event will be pushed, only if the button C is pressed.
 TRASPASABLE
   Make that the player can pass through the event.

I think this looks great too. It will be much easier to use when doing puzzles in dungeons and such. I will probably use it in my game (with credit of course).

Noticed that when I tried to implement it in my game, I got an error message.
" Script 'Aleworks Push Events' line 179: NoMethodError occured. undefined method `list' for nil:NilClass"

Maybe another script make some trouble, or there is a event with no event commands.

Try overwriting the Game_Event refresh method with this:
Code:

  #===========================================================================
  def refresh
    @pushable = false
    @push_speed = nil

    @pushing = false
    @old_speed = nil
    @left_push = 0
    @push_direction = []
    @pushing_direction = 0
    @traspasable = false
    @push_in_diretion = false
    @push_sound = nil
    @push_trigger = false
    aleworks_pushevents_gameevent_refresh
    if @page != nil and @page != []
      for i in @page.list
        if i.code == 108 or i.code == 408
          if i.parameters[0].upcase[/PUSHABLE/] != nil
            @pushable = true
            @push_in_diretion = true if i.parameters[0].upcase[/IN DIRECTION/] != nil
            @push_direction.push(2) if i.parameters[0][/2/] != nil
            @push_direction.push(4) if i.parameters[0][/4/] != nil
            @push_direction.push(6) if i.parameters[0][/6/] != nil
            @push_direction.push(8) if i.parameters[0][/8/] != nil
          end
          if i.parameters[0].upcase[/PUSH SPEED/] != nil
            @push_speed = i.parameters[0].split[2].to_i
          end
          if i.parameters[0].upcase[/PUSH DISTANCE/] != nil
            @push_distance = i.parameters[0].split[2].to_i
          end
          if i.parameters[0].upcase[/PUSH SOUND/] != nil
            @push_sound = i.parameters[0].split[2]

Do all events have to move instantly when you touch them though?

I can't understand well, what do you say...
Please, can you especify a bit more?

i think he what he means is when you go to push an event he wants to make it so that you have to wait a bit before the object moves so that it seems like its heavy

I will add a new option for wait some seconds before pushing for the next release, and others like for changing the player graphic, or events that move jointly when pushing one of them, for logs, or big rocks.

Hey, this script is really good.. :D but.. why is it that when i put some "control switch" events in the map, the game crashes?

it says:

Script 'Aleworks Push Events' line 179: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method `list' for nil:NilClass

Wow, this sounds like a good script. Pity I can't test it out, due to a lack of RPGXP on this computer. Will save people a lot of eventing.

EDIT: Tried it, works well. Gives me a strong urge to make a number of events in the middle of a map, and walk straight through them. XD

i think there is a bug when the script is active,
any SOLID* events with "Player Touch" trigger ON becomes malfunction..
"Player Touch" effect becomes "Action Button" effect

this bug happened in both demo and my project

*cannot walk through

Umm, phlee, the last post was in November, thats called Necroposting and shouldn't be done.

Necroposting is when you post in a thread after a month of no posts. So if the last post is 1st Jan, and you post, say, 1st Feb, that counts, although it isn't as bad as posting 3 months after, someone even posted after 2 years, haha.

Do all scripts go into the  database when released? if not... after a month of not being posted in... the script goes BYEBYE! and some potentially good scripts vanish...

It's a GREAT script. But you could Simply reduct that into 2 event lines.

On-Player tocuch

@This event: Move foward

and you can configuere speed, and distance...

true... But if you want giant puzzles set up... This just cuts down time...

I was also looking through it and the script allows you do make different sound effects per different direction things are pressed XP not sure how you could harness that though
