Getting boats to work on only water [Resolved]

[4StarGeneral]

I'm new here and haven't been able to go through all the forums, but I have been trying to use terrain tags to have boats only moveable on water then stop if there is land or shallow water. Here is what I was trying for a code...

def passable?(x,y,d)
(...)
  elsif @terrain_tags = 2
    if @character = 10 or #number character that is a canoe
      @character = 11 #number character that is a boat
    end
  return true

This way I was trying to have terrain with a tag of 2 be passable by only those 2 characters. It doesn't come up with any errors it just doesn't work. I can tell this is probably a completely wrong way of doing it...
Please help.

I don't use those scripts that much, but I think I can see the problem. Place return true underneath @character = 11, with the end command AFTER the return statement. Then, change that end into an else, and after else put return false. Then, after that return statement, put end.

Like this:

  elsif @terrain_tags = 2
    if @character = 10 or #number character that is a canoe
      @character = 11 #number character that is a boat
      return true
    else
      return false
    end

Let me know if it works. Peace.

Hmm, still doesn't work...thanks anyway. I think I may be attacking this the wrong way...
Anybody know a different way I can make boats travel on water and not people?

try to replace the = with ==.

elsif @terrain_tags == 2
    if @character == 10 or #number character that is a canoe
      @character == 11 #number character that is a boat
      return true
    else
      return false
    end

Well thanks anyway, but this method apparently doesn't work. Boats just move on everything...

Scripting isn't the answer, Events work better with terrain and stuff. make a Common event Like this
Variable [xx]= terrain tag
If hero is touching terrain 2
change graphic to the boat
Else
Change graphic to hero
End

o.o that should do it. Just make a Event in a corner (Call the common event)and make it a parrallel.

If it doesnt work tell me. I did it in my head because meh other comp messed up

 

[4StarGeneral]

Hmm...probably doing this wrong, but I set it as a parallel with switch 1. Then had an event in the corner turn on the switch and erase itself. I thought it should've work, but still no.':|

Sorry i think i told you wrong.Make a Common event and set the Trigger to none then put this in the CE

Variable [xx]= Players Terrain Tag
Chage Players Graphic to ' (boat's Graphic file here)'
Else
Chage Players Graphic to ' (Hero's Graphic file here)'
End

Then make a event on the map that calls that common event and set that event as a parrallel process

I tested it and it works
