Get Comments in Event (within Common Events)

[ZenVirZan]

Hi again everyone,
I have this little snippit of code from the Mouse Script by Cybersam
It reads the event commands and changes the mouse's icon accordingly

  def comment_include(*args)

    list = *args[0].list

    trigger = *args[1]

    return nil if list == nil

    return nil unless list.is_a?(Array)

    for item in list

      next if item.code != 108

      par = item.parameters[0].split(' | ')

      return item.parameters[0] if par[0] == trigger

    end

    return nil

  end

 

Pretty much, make a comment that goes like
Comment: IMS | Start | NPC
it will read for the comment in the event.
It doesn't read through Common Events however.
Is there a way to make it read through the common event on that event?
I have a Crafting Workshop in multiple towns, and it would be helpful for this and many other cases if it could read through the common event as well
Like:
--
Call Common Event: Crafting System
--

That is the whole event there. (Action Button)
Within that Common Event, i have
--
Comment: IMS | Start | NPC
Script Call: $scene = Scene_Craft.new
--

Thats the event. I used a simpler one there, but hopefully you get the idea!
So yeah, a method of reading through the Common Event commands as well as the Event itself is needed.
It would help me out a lot if you could figure out how to do this!
Thanks guys!

Bump, aha

Try changing to this:

  def comment_include(*args)

    list = *args[0].list

    trigger = *args[1]

    return nil if list == nil

    return nil unless list.is_a?(Array)

    for item in list

      next if item.code != 108 or item.code != 117

      if item.code == 117

        common_event = $data_common_events[@parameters[0]]

        for item in common_event.list

          next if item.code != 108

          par = item.parameters[0].split(' | ')

          return item.parameters[0] if par[0] == trigger

        end

      else

        par = item.parameters[0].split(' | ')

        return item.parameters[0] if par[0] == trigger

      end

    end

    return nil

  end

Untested and possibly bugridden, so let me know if it doesn't work.

No, it doesnt. But it looks a lot like what i would've done :grin:
I'm not sure where you get the @parameters[0] from, as that's nowhere in this class . . . only in the interpreter.
yeah, so it doesnt work. thankyou for your time though! :biggrin:

EDIT: I fixed it. Only a small few errors were there.

 def comment_include(*args)

    list = *args[0].list

    trigger = *args[1]

    return nil if list == nil

    return nil unless list.is_a?(Array)

    for item in list

      next if item.code != 108 and item.code != 117

      if item.code == 117

        common_event = $data_common_events[item.parameters[0]]

        for item in common_event.list

          next if item.code != 108

          par = item.parameters[0].split(' | ')

          return item.parameters[0] if par[0] == trigger

        end

      else

        par = item.parameters[0].split(' | ')

        return item.parameters[0] if par[0] == trigger

      end

    end

    return nil

  end

hehe, oops. I copy-pasted that from the Interpreter and forgot to change "@parameters[0]" to "item.parameter[0]".

Glad it worked out! It's not the cleanest code (and it won't let you call a common event from a common event :P) but it works.
