I have this script i have been using for some time now for RMXP made by Modern Algebra, it has different options already, one for making a square and within the square you can tell it what troops will show up and on what map, but i am wanting to add terrain tag options, so that within that square, a troop will only show up while over specific terrain tags.
If anyone could help, that would be awesome!
um.... after some thinking, i figured out a way to use this script with events to get the effect i want.
But if someone still wants to add the options to this script.. that's fine with me, might make it easier.. but i noticed just now the script has a call script option for setting up areas.. i could use terrain tag options with it in events to get it.. *slaps self on the forehead*
Code:
#==============================================================================
# Encounter Area Restriction
# Version: 1.1
# Author: Modern Algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: February 5, 2008
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Instructions:
# See inside the editable region at line 48 for instructions on setting up
# the database.
# You can also add a new region at any time in the game by using this code
# in a call script:
#
# $game_system.set_area(x, y, width, height, monster troop array, map_id, name)
#
# In order to make it fit, it may be easier to first assign each value to a
# variable, like so:
#
# x = starting x coordinate for area
# y = starting y coordinate for area
# w = width of area
# h = height of area
# t = [1st troop ID, 2nd Troop ID, ...] for all troops in the area
# m = map id to set the new area in
# n = 'name' of area
# $game_system.set_area (x,y,w,h,t,m,n)
#
# If you ever want to disable or enable an area (for instance, if the player
# comes back to the map after a major event and you no longer want him to
# fight the troops held in an old array), then you can use these codes:
#
# $game_system.area(name, map ID).active = true
# $game_system.area(name, map ID).active = true
#
# If you do not specify map ID, then it will be assumed to be the map you
# are currently located on.

# encounter monster troops 2, 3 and 8 if the player coordinates are within
# (10-13, 6-10). The name is 'Lies'. If you do not want to give the area
# a name, then merely type in nil.
