is there a way to do this?

THIS IS PRETTY MUCH A CUT DOWN TREE SCRIPT

is there a way to make a script that shows a certain piece from a tempalte like a tree in the grassland tempalte then when u press enter it shows a window that says cut down tree or nothing if u select nothing it calls scene_map.new and if u select cut down tree it changes the pic to a stump in grassland? Also how do u call soemthing to call a pic?

You can do all that with event commands, to be exact: Swiches. Look the usage of those up in the tutorial section of this forum (I don't know if there is a switch tutorial) or the help file that came with RMXP.

I know but it takes alot of events to do this u have to make tree part by tree part and set if event switch one is on.. then itll make them all turn into nothing it takes lots of events and wow alot of time. Besides this alot of switches since i have more then one tree in each map and already using 20 switches in my game without the tree stuff

This would approximately take ... not more than one minute if you're smart enough to put the tree in a characterset

 

[RMXPirate]

huh there is no way to show a pic from a tempalte. I mean the whole tree not having to do section by sectio of the tree

I don't understand what you said, but you can make a tree characterset.

Well regardless of whether or not you script it or do it by events, you'd have to have at least one event per tree, so it's easier to do it with events. Take kaze's recommendation and make a characterset with the tree and a cut down version of the tree, then just simply use a self switch and on the second page have the cut down tree.

Lucky you! I'm in a generous mood. I've made a demo. Characterset included.

It doesn't take tons of events or tons of time; I did it in literally 7 minutes, including the making of the characterset, uploading of the file, and making this post.

It's not encrypted so you can easily see how I did it.

I´m sure rataime did a Destruction Engine in net... That should help you a lot (IF you find it xD). Maybe you can find it here searching, but i´m not sure yet...

 

[LegACy]

no, destruction engine will erase the event... altho the animation will srely be usefull

 

[RMXPirate]

Well it would be better if it could erase the evnent so when u go back in the map the tree wil be there again. Ehere is this so called destruction engine. Also thanks dark zero i that is awesome. Do you think you can add the tree in the woods to it?

Well it would be better if it could erase the evnent so when u go back in the map the tree wil be there again.

lol, if it dissapeared/erased, how could it appear again?

 

[RMXPirate]

No you see when the event erases and u leave the map then come back the tree will be up again ready to cut. That is how erase event works. try it

 

[Ceroscuro]

In mine you could just change where it turns self switch A on to an erase event. And to add the tree from the woods to it, simply place it in the characterset provided.

 

[RMXPirate]

I did that but the trees come out white then. Can u do it for me?

 

[Ceroscuro]

You mean with a white box around them? Then all you have to do is set transparency when you import it.

 

[RMXPirate]

Thanks it worked

No you see when the event erases and u leave the map then come back the tree will be up again ready to cut. That is how erase event works. try it

well, that's because you didn't put dynamic map script ^^

 

[Ceroscuro]

Erase event is never permanent.
