Anti Lag and Mode7 Script Error

[rainevivian]

Hello!
Okay, So I'm working on this Cyber Punk Game, and I recently added Zeriab's Anti Event Lag System to cut down on some lag, and It worked amazingly. Honestly, the lag was so bad I could barely play the game on some large maps due to all the events, so its Imperative I have that script going. The Problem is, I have a scene that is inside a computer (Hacking) that needs to be running in mode 7.

  I got it to work fine, but I ran into one problem.
When the Transfer player event comes up, I get this Error, Script 'Anti Lag' line 1069:nomethoderror occurred. undefined method [] for nil: NilClass.

That line in the script is

    sprites = @character_spritemap[[old_x,old_y]]

I know mode 7 is glitchy, but its pretty much Imperative to this scene.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Everything else works fine, its just when it transfers player that it gives me that Error.

Is there a way to turn off a script while in game? Maybe I could just turn off the Anti lag script for that scene.
Thanks for your help.

Mmm. It seems that the @character_spritemap is undefined, hence the NoMethodError. I don't have much time, but one quick workaround would be to do :

sprites = @character_spritemap[[old_x, old_y]] unless @character_spritemap.nil?

That's likely to break your code though, seeing as how sprites will be set to nil too (actually, it'll just be undefined).
I'd have to look more into how the scripts interact; or, if you could send me your project and tell me how to track it down, I'd be in a much better position to fix it for you.

Right now my projects Huge and I don't have anywhere with enough space to upload it, So I started a new project, added all the scripts I had in my game into it, and set up the same scene, and it worked fine. So I have no idea whats wrong with it now.
I tried copying the Script data file from the new project, to my game, and I still get the same error. I don't understand. I also tried replacing that line with your suggestion, and you're right, it did break the code. Any other ideas? Thanks for responding.

I'd have to play around with the script itself and see what it does.

Heres the link to the Anti Lag script, http://zeriab.freepgs.com/root/script/Antilag/antilag-v1.0.txt

Paste this script below Anti Lag and Mode7 scripts (Anti Lag must be above Mode7) :

# Compatibility Mode7 - Anti Event Lag System
# Mode 7 script should be below Anti-lag script, and this one below the two others

How does it work ?

It works, but makes about an 8 second lag before transferring player. I'm not sure why, its like it freezes up for a while, then start working again very slowly. Thank you so much for trying to help.
