Fishing while facing water script

[wallace074]

I started a thread about this earlier (http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12772) but now I need a script. I've made a fishing common event, but now I need a script.

I would like the script to only let the player use the fishing rod while facing water (Terrain Tag 1).

Simple Terms: It let's the player use an Item only when facing the right terrain tag.

Yeah, script requests go in Script Requests...

I'm gonna clarify this.

I would like a script that lets the player use an item only while facing or ON a specified terrain tag. Otherwise, the item cannot be used. Can someone please do this for me?

P.S. If you know of any other way to do this please tell me :D

This shouldn't be too difficult. Get hero position and facing, add/minus 1 to x/y to get the tile he/she is facing, set up a condition to see if the terrain tag for that tile is equal to whatever you want (I had a line for this but lost it).

Edit:

$game_map.terrain_tag(x, y)

Sorry about the double-post, but I whipped a method up quick:

class Game_Map

def fishable?(fishable_terrain_tag)
  if $game_player.direction == 2
    x = $game_player.x
    y = $game_player.y + 1
  elsif $game_player.direction == 4
    x = $game_player.x - 1
    y = $game_player.y
  elsif $game_player.direction == 6
    x = $game_player.x + 1
    y = $game_player.y
  elsif $game_player.direction == 8
    x = $game_player.x
    y = $game_player.y - 1
  end
  if terrain_tag(x, y) == fishable_terrain_tag
    return true
  else
    return false
  end
end

end

Create a new script just above Main, paste this in. I haven't tested it, but it should work in theory. I'm not sure if Game_Map is the best class to place this method in, so if anyone has any other suggestions it'd be welcome :P

To check if the tile you are facing is "fishable", set up a conditional branch, go to the 4th tab, click "Script" and put in something like:

$game_map.fishable?(terrain_tag) == true

Replace terrain_tag with the terrain tag you want to use for fishable tiles (ie. your water tiles). Now you have control over what happens when the tile in front of you is fishable or not.

Thanks a lot! I almost gave up on this! I really appreciate it.

No problem, glad I could help
