how to call common events/events in script in RMVX

[over_cloud9]

ok i guess i'm asking something very basic,but thats because i dont know much about scripting.the only thing i understand about ruby is that its an OOP and is similar to java.i'm familiar with java.

coming back to the context,i wanted to know what is the code to call a common event or event in a script.let me show a screenshot-



in the red box,i want to put a code that would call a common event using its id.what would be the code to do that?what would be the code if i call an event?

Whenever you are wanting to run a code based off an event command, always check the Interpreter (or Game_Interpreter in VX) class. In this case, you would find this block:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Call Common Event

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def command_117

    common_event = $data_common_events[@params[0]]

    if common_event != nil

      @child_interpreter = Game_Interpreter.new(@depth + 1)

      @child_interpreter.setup(common_event.list, @event_id)

    end

    return true

  end

Now this may not be exactly what you need, but you can kinda figure out what you need to do from here.

Step 1: Get the common event data

common_event = $data_common_events[common_event_id]

Step 2: Create Game_Interpreter objet

@interpreter = Game_Interpreter.new

Step 3: Setup common event list into interpreter object

@interpreter.setup(common_event.list)

You will have to update your interpreter object however (Since you are making a custom scene to hold this data vs. using the map/battle/event interpreter).

So in your update method, make sure you have @interpreter.update.

However, it all depends on the commands in your common event though and exactly what you are trying to do.

actually i wanted a ready made code which would call the common event as i'm not familiar with ruby.if u take a closer look at the screenshot,the script is a definition of what would happen if i select a particular option.the common event that i've planned is that of changing party members.so when i select that particular option(the script) it would redirect to the common event.your help is appreciated.

It might just be easier to not call a common event, but execute the code in the common event.

Can you post your common event?

yes,i just need some time.actually i have to figure out how to make the characters change in the active party,will post as soon as i'm done.
