Map-Preview

[Me(tm)]

Hello folks,

Okay, here I go. I am trying, well actually retrying I just lost the code, to make a map preview. This preview is a small viewport of the map where the player is located. Changing the viewport was the easy part. Now I am trying to get the tilemap ox and oy to the right values so the player is displayed in center. Or shoudl I change the $game_map.display_x and _y ?

I don't know anymore.

I am a bit lost by your question...

I think, you should try something like this :

$game_player.moveto(x, y)
$game_player.refresh
$game_map.update
@tilemap.ox = $game_map.display_x / 4
@tilemap.oy = $game_map.display_y / 4
@tilemap.update

but I guess we can't help you much if you don't post your code.

The point is, Ive lost the code.

I am ill, not enough energy to actually write it again, sounds pathetic I know, but that is just how it is. I will try to explain this to you guys. The thing you gave me Sewlyn, works when your viewports center is in the center of the screen, but mine is not.

Lets say we have this viewport: Viewport#new(240,300,100,50)
What I am trying, is to display the player in the center. All the events should also be in place, and the map should be able to update. When you change the Game_Map#display variables, it changes back when updating ... (something, can't remember, not home)...

So, again, I want the player showed on the tileset with the events in the right posisiton, where the player is in the exact middle of the viewport.

Edit: shoudl I post an image ? not that is helps much...

I had the same doubt, seph said he would work on a method for me, but he didn't said anything more...

Lets say we have this viewport: Viewport.new(320,240,200,200)
What I am trying, is to display the player in the center. All the events should also be in place, and the map should be able to update. When you change the Game_Map#display variables, it changes back when updating ... (something, can't remember, not home)...

well, to center this viewport (320,240,200,200) you take the width and height values and divide them by two I think...

$game_player.moveto(x, y)
$game_player.refresh
$game_map.update
# so in this case :
@tilemap.ox = $game_map.display_x / 4 [U]+ 100[/U]
@tilemap.oy = $game_map.display_y / 4 [U]+ 100[/U]
@tilemap.update

That is what I thought and already tried. I did do that, the events wont move along. (because of Game_Map#display_(x|y) , which get changed back if you set it manually when you update game map)

Can I dubble bump? It has been 6 days :D

# In Spriteset_Map, pass the player´s tile X and Y
def center_tilemap(px, py)
  @tilemap.ox = ((px * 32) - (@tilemap.viewport.width / 2 - 16))
  @tilemap.oy = ((py * 32) - (@tilemap.viewport.height / 2 - 16))
end

Well this is a piece of code i wrote for a small utility i did with Tilemaps a while ago. I just adapted it, but i´m not sure if it will work. Here´s the original code:

Spoiler: Beware!

Bah, forget it! xD

P.S.: I think i understood your question, i will try that out.

 

[Me(tm)]

Yup, something similar I wrote too, now for events :D

Just a kind of looktrough window.
