Dargor's Map Layers for XP

[JoshC]

Ok, having a little difficulty with your script Seph. I'm trying to make it only copy a section of a map to another. I.e. if the map is a 15x15 copy rect(3,4-6,5); I'm copying from map 2 - map 1, and just pasting it into a similar section.

$game_map.add_map_layer(1, 2, \

Rect.new(7,4,11,0), 7, 4, false)

 

But when I call it it doesn't show up, what am I doing wrong?

Seph? :P Don't you mean me?

Your code seems good. Now let's see if you used the right values to the right places.

Destination map ID: 1
Source map ID: 2
Rect from source map: x=7, y=4, width = 11, height = 0
X offset on Dest. map: 7
Y offset on Dest. map: 4
Copy events: False

Everything is OK except for the height of the Rect.
This won't work if no width/height is specified or if it's smaller than 1.

That's all!

Sorry, guys, you two are always the ones that help me out so I sometimes get you confused.

Ok so let me make sure I've got the concept right, by width and height you mean the tile width and height of the space to copy, not like coord x,y - x,y.

If so then it should be:

$game_map.add_map_layer(1, 2, \

Rect.new(7,4,5,4), 7, 4, false)

 

However when I use this it still doesn't appear.

P.S. Sorry about the wrong section thing....

 

[Dargor]

It's the width/height (in tiles) of the zone you want. the first 2 arguments of the rect are the origin x/y.

So Rect.new(7,4,5,4) means, Start at 7,4 and take a zone of 5x4 from there.

lol, ok at first I was thinking coord system. However, I made the appropriate changes and it still does not copy that particular section of tile, is there a particular layer it's suppost to be on or something that I'm missing?

Bump

Hmmm, have you tried the VX demo? I'd suggest to try it and take the script call from the events.
