Desert Heat (includes on-map regeneration)

[Mr_Smith]

Well, based on seconds would be cool. The time when you drink a bit, can be varied as you go deeper in desert it'll be warmer so you drink more.

I thought it was hard :P i don't know much scripting except visual changing

 

[Eduardo]

Everything I said is quite easily to do, since I don't know how good Wyat is with Rgss,but I think he can pull it off very well.

I've tried what you said, unfortunately it... doesn't work. (I'll work on timed regeneration later).

# When you enter a desert area, call a script with:

Mind telling what's wrong? I might help you fix it.

 

[Ellie]

Hmm, it does work, it was just an error in the Hud I was using to test it.

 

[Eduardo]

I see.Well if you face any other problem, I might be able to help you out.

 

[regi]

Looks good, are you going to work on the frame thing we talked about?

 

[masteredu]

does it dont gives a download link ?

 

[Lorravan]

does it have to be heat? could i use a version of it for cold?

 

[Samboy]

I hear a mini-game coming...

Nice job.

 

[Me(tm)]

Eduardo, giving tips are ok, when they are... right -_-....

$game_party.actors.each each do {|actor|} do
 #stuff in here like p actor.name

I think you meant...

$game_party.actors.each { |actor| #stuff }

Which is the exact same as

for actor in $game_party.actors

So it wouldn't be less resources consuming (Dunno if working with i = RANGE is more resources costing)

use Class Variables

Class variables are @@something and are not defined within the method. You meant Instance Variables. There's such a difference...

Also, I would NOT sugest putting this in Game_Party. Although you could say: The Party is in a desert, you better put in in Game_Map. Try to put related data in related places. YOu could do...

class Game_Map
[...]

DESERT_MAPS = [3,231,42]

def setup(map_id)
[...]
@desert_map = DESERT_MAPS.include?(map_id)
[...]

def in_desert
  return @desert_map
end
[...]
