Moving Through Terrain Tag 1 [RESOLVED]

[regi]

EDIT: Okay, it's resolved  ;D

Hey,
I'm eventing a way to throw objects a few feet. However, I want the object able to be thrown across water, but not through other objects. Is there a way to set an object's move route to take "One Step Forward" only if the tile in front of it is passable, or has terrain tag 1?

Yeah I figured all the problems out, now it's working fine, thanks everyone who helped
Oh and I've taken out the code momentarily, but I might release a tutorial about how to event this once my game is finished

Here's what I'd do. Have an extra, clear event set to Through. Use it as your moving piece, and have the object event follow it. Hope that helps.

Hmm... I guess that would work, although it'd require a bit more eventing (I'd have to create one for every map, like the nut) :-\ . I'm still open to other suggestions, but thanks anyway.

Bump. Still open to suggestions on how to do this. Maybe, is there a way to add one to the object's x or y coordinate, depending on which direction it's facing, and check THAT's terrain tag?

Something like this?

event[1].x = variable 1
event[1].y = variable 2
If event[1].direction == 2
  variable[2] +=1
Elsif event[1].direction == 4
  variable[1] -=1
Elsif event[1].direction == 6
  variable[1] +=1
Elsif event[1].direction == 8
  variable[2] -=1
end
If variable[1], variable[2] = terrain tag 1
  Move route[nut] (Ignore if can't move):
    Through on
    1 Step Forward
Else
  Move route[nut] (Ignore if can't move):
    Through off
    1 Step Forward
end

I could probably do the first part using events, but what I need to know is, how do check the terrain tag of two variable value coordinates? That's all I need to know, thanks.

Use $game_map.terrain_tag(x, y) to get the terrain tag on tile x, y.

Well, can you implement variables in it?

Something like...
$game_map.terrain_tag(variable1, variable2)

Hmm... I will give it a try...  I will post if I come up with anything ^_^

 

[regi]

Well I've pretty much already got it figured, all I need to know is the coding for the terrain tag with variables (see my latest post). But if you want to try and make it cleaner go ahead, thanks

 

[Eduardo]

Yes you can put Vars in there

$game_variables[ID] #Use this

EDIT:
Okay... I got the terrain tag thing to work, but I'm having still having annoying buggy problems T_T. Updated the first post, check for more info...

 

[jimme_reashu]

First thing that comes to mind is that regardless of whether the nut moves or not, the variables will be updated as if it had - which could be a problem if there is water behind say, a tree - the player could then throw the nut through the tree, a total of (5 - distance to water) tiles. To remedy this, I suggest setting the variables to the nut's position after every possible move.

Also, what problem are you having, exactly? Is the nut not moving at all, moving when it shouldn't, or just moving... wrong?

Another thing is that if the player changes facing while the nut is in the air, so will the nut. It would be better to base all branches but the first on the nut's facing.

EDIT: Yes, it finally works ;D I replaced the Wait for Move's Completion with Wait: 2 frames, and although it's not the smoothest throw ever, it can go across water and stop when it hits something. The problem was the Wait for Move's Completion being incompatible with Ignore if Can't Move. Thanks for all your help, guys :D
