Field of Vision

[Thermalburn]

Hi everyone,

So basically heres the deal; Im making a portion of my game into this little stealth segment where you have to avoid the lantern carrying guards in the city. Now my question is, how do i make it so that if my character passes within the field of vision of the guard, it displays a messege/gameover/whatever? The "Field of vision i want is 2 or 3 (haven't decided) spaces in FRONT of the guard only...I dont think i would need scripting for this would i, because i prefer eventing.

Thanks in advance  :wink:

You can do this with a few variables.

@>Control Variables: [Guard X] = [Guard]'s Map X
@>Control Variables: [Guard Y] = [Guard]'s Map Y
@>Control Variables: [Player X] = [Player]'s Map X
@>Control Variables: [Player Y] = [Player]'s Map Y

@>Conditional Branch: [Guard] is facing left
  @>Control Variables: [Guard X] -= [Player X]
  @>Conditional Branch: [Guard X] <= 2 or 3
    @>Conditional Branch: [Guard X] >= 1
       @>Show Text: You got caught! Game over.

Do this for all 4 directions (use negative numbers and exchange X with Y), add a "Wait 1 frame", and put the whole code in a Parallel Processing event.

Hope this helped.

Thanks, but for some reason its just not working. I tried tweaking it but its not doing what i ask it to. I mean it is working so thats cool, but the distance is all screwed up, like im getting caught when im like 10 units away...I'm sorry im just not too experienced with RMXP. Any ideas?

Thanks for everything!  :thumb:

  @>Conditional Branch: [Guard Y] == [Player Y]          ### add this line

So, just out of curiosity, is this supposed to be an autorun event?
