Event location detection from a different event.

[webgovernor]

Hi all!

I'm assuming the script required is going to be very complicated, but I could be wrong. I googled and check previous posts, yet I couldn't find anything relevant to my question.

Ok, I would like event B (Guard) to attack event A (Goblin) if event A enters within a certian range of event B.

I actually just want event B to run to event A and play a SE and event A to erase.

I'm not sure where to start, but I was searching for a "move-to coordinate" function, but couldn't find one, but I'm assuming I'll need something like that, and probably a parralell loop reading off event B's coordinates.

I appreciate any help on this matter, and if someone knows of a script that has part of this functionality, I'd be super gratefull to aquire such a gem.

Thanks in advance,

Path finding? View range script? Check the download manager....

Well, how I would do it (which is probably wrong) is:

-paste a square of 'Player Touch' events all around the area, then have the event, when touched turn on a switch. For example call it 'start attack'

-then I would have the goblin event and the guard event.

-and then set the guard to when 'start attack is on' and then set route so that it will walk over to the goblin. 'Wait for move's completion'. Play SE: 'HIT' and then, turn on another switch 'goblin killed'

-then set a new page on the goblin, to when 'goblin killed' is ON, and have a blank image (or a dead pose)

Hope that helps!

That would never work.

He wants the goblin to activate it, not the player.

The view range script should work.

Yeah use the View Range script and the Pathfinding script, pretty damn simple.

Thanks for all the reply's.

I just downloaded the Near's view range script, and I took a quick look at it, unfortunately I'm going to work, so I couldn't find any appropriate follow up questions right away.

Thanks again.

Hi again,

I've edited Near's view_range script for demonstration purposes, I've gotten this to work IF I know the intruding event's ID (Goblin)

So far, the Goblin is detected when in range of the Guard, and it's returned to it's original location. That works, but I'm afraid that I need away to detect multiple goblins based off of their event location, this is going to be tough, as I won't know the ID of a specific goblin when there are 30-40 of them on a map.

Here's a quick edit of near's script:

    vr_scene_load_read_save_data(file)
    $event_range = Event_Range.new

Anyway, my question IS:
Does anyone know of a way to check for moving events and return the event ID of a moving event IF it's in the range of the guard?

Thanks again,
