Current Event ID

[webgovernor]

Hi there,

How would I get the event id of the current event? Something like RPG::Current_Event.id is kind of what I'm looking for.

I can't seem to figure this one out.

Thanks in advance,

there is no RPG::Current_Event class

Are you using this in a call script of the event if so then the Interpreter class keeps track of this and you can use @event_id within the call script, if not then try this

class Interpreter
  attr_reader :event_id
end

and now you can do $game_system.map_interpreter.event_id to get the current event running

but I really don't know what you are trying to do

Thanks for the reply,

I'm well aware that there isn't a RPG::Current_Event class, I was just giving an example on the call method I was looking for.

Basically, I'm indexing all the NPCs to have their own information, their index is the event id. Then I'd call the "Set_Npc" method from the event.

def set_npc
  npc_id = $game_system.map_interpreter.event_id
  npc_name = $cur_name
  npc_gold = $cur_gold
  npc_polarity = $cur_polarity
  npc_faction = $faction_names[$fid]
  if $npc[npc_id]
    $npc[npc_id].gold = $npc[npc_id].gold
    #p "NPC Exists"
    #p "NPC, Gold: #{$npc[npc_name].gold}"
  
  else
    $npc[npc_id] = NPC.new
    $npc[npc_id].gold = npc_gold
    $npc[npc_id].polarity = npc_polarity
    $npc[npc_id].name = npc_name
    $npc[npc_id].faction = npc_faction
    #p "NEW NPC"
  end
end

So that's what I'm using it for, this method is ONLY called from the event, and all seems to be working ok.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
