How to push 2 events to each other, explode and dissappear?

[courage]

I want to make a puzzle where the hero will push event A into event B, or event B to event A, after the 2 events touch each other, both events will explode and disappear, clear the way for the Hero to walk throught.

Well I can make the hero push the event, but after that I pretty much stuck. Can someone show me how to do this. Thanks. :heart:

on the second event have "event touch" as the trigger. If that dosent wwork then I can try and knock up something that could work.

Note one of the events should be Through, or the 2 events cannot be on top of each other.

1.Detecting when 2 events touch:
make new 'parallel process' event. inside it save the 2 event's x and y in 4 variables, then have a conditional branch:
if x=x and y=y, pull a switch 'explode' ON.
2.show explosion
Add another page to your 2 events, set the page condition to: switch 'explode' is ON.
RMXP has a default 'explosion' charset- 197-support05, select that as the page's graphic and set it to 'stop animation'. wait a few frames, then erase the event.

You can also use my New Event Methods script to check if event 1 touches event2.
Make a cond. branch, script: event_touch?(1,2)

I can't use "event touch" as a trigger because the player have to be able to push the events. So it have to be action button press.

On detecting when 2 events touch. I test it and it doesn't work with event editor (variable, conditional branch), but it does work with your script, that is a very good script. Is this script work well with other scripts, especially the SDKs ?

BTW can silver or someone explain more specifically how to use event to detect when 2 events touch, thanks. :grin:

Basicallly I tried this and it doesn't work:

Objective: event Rock1 and Rock2 touch, both of them disappear.

In the first test, I created 2 variables and placed this on top of the event editor:

Rock1 (Name of the variable) ::: Rock1 - Map X
Rock1 ::: Rock1 - Map Y
Rock2 ::: Rock2 - Map X
Rock2 ::: Rock2 - Map Y

Conditional Branch:

If variable Rock1 = variable Rock2
Switch "EndRock" on (When switch on, the other page on the event Rock1 and Rock2 would activate and EraseEvent)

When I tried this, some how the 2 events disappear right in the beginning before the player has any chance to push it.

Test 2:

I created 4 variables:

Rock1Y ::: Rock1 - Map Y
Rock1X ::: Rock1 - Map X
Rock2Y ::: Rock2 - Map Y
Rock2X ::: Rock2 - Map X

and 2 conditional branchs:

If Rock1X = Rock2X
... If Rock1Y = Rock2Y
Switch "EndRock" on

When I tried this, I push the rocks into each other and nothing happen.

PS/ And yes I did test it in a separate parallel process event.

If your boulders aren't set to through, the events won't actually have the same x/y variables (they have to be on top of each other). It will take a little more work, but if you check all 4 directions of the rock and add or subtract 1 to the value of the variables it should work.

e.g.

Conditional Branch: Rock1 is facing Right

  Control Variables: Rock1X += 1

  Conditional Branch: Rock1X == Rock2X and Rock1Y == Rock2Y

    Switch "EndRock" on

  End

End

And repeat for all four directions.

You'd think Enterbrain would make 'event touch' do all this automatically..
Anyway, I'm glad you like my script. I haven't tested it with the SDK, but it should work.

Event Touch actually checks if the event touches the player, rather than event-to-event handling. A bit confusing when they translated it over to English, but there's always workarounds.
