[Mr.Mo]

Version 4, SDK version:

#==============================================================================
# â–  View Range Module
#==============================================================================
# Near Fantastica
# Version 4
# 29.11.05
#==============================================================================

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * SDK Log Script
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SDK.log("View Range", "Near Fantastica", 4, "29.11.05")

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Begin SDK Enable Test
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
if SDK.state("View Range") == true
  module VR
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def VR.in_range?(element, object, range)
      x = (element.x - object.x) * (element.x - object.x)
      y = (element.y - object.y) * (element.y - object.y)
      r = x + y
      if r <= (range * range)
        return true
      else
        return false
      end
    end
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def VR.range(element, object)
      x = (element.x - object.x) * (element.x - object.x)
      y = (element.y - object.y) * (element.y - object.y)
      r = x + y
      r = Math.sqrt(r)
      return r.to_i
    end
  end
  
  #==============================================================================
  class Interpreter
    #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    def event
      return $game_map.events[@event_id]
    end
  end

Welll.... seeing as its a module... er-hrm... gimme a sec...

 

[Dargor]

Take all your time

 

[SephirothSpawn]

It is rather simple. Just uses some basic trig.

First off, test if event 3 is within 5 tiles to event 4

VR.in_range?(element, object, range)

element is event 4
object is event 3
range is 5

VR.in_range?($game_map.events[4], $game_map.events[3], 5)

That line will return true or false, depending on if the events are within 5 tiles of eachother.


Then, to get the range from event 2 to event 7, you use the range method.

VR.range(element, object)

just replace element and object with your events

VR.range($game_map.events[2], $game_map.events[7])

That will return how ever many tiles it is from one event to another.


This will work with anything that has x and y attributes (so windows, custom classes, etc.)

 

[Aran]

well i kno that part... but what if you wanna check if the actor is in range?

i tried data_actor, but that has no x or y value

then i tried game_character, which somehow didn't work...

i knew the rest from decoding Prexus' ABS

 

[SephirothSpawn]

You use $game_player as the element or object argument

 

[Aran]

i did....

and y'know in the interpreter part of the script... what does that do?

does it allow you to put "event" as an argument?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

interpreter part of the script?

What are you talking about?

...

What exactly are you trying to do?

 

[Aran]

where it says class Interpreter

i was gonna do the same that they did for event
but for actor

 

[SephirothSpawn]

The event syntax just returns the event that the Interpreter belongs to (Map, battle, common events, and events all have interpreters).

You can see in Game_Event

@interpreter.setup(@list, @event.id)

So the setup method in the interpreter class assigns the @event_id variable.


Anyways, I am still not sure what you are trying to accomplish...

What are you talking about with "actor"?

 

[Dargor]

lol Thanks a lot.

@Aran
Be more precise please. :P

 

[Aran]

n/m you've made it clear. i thought it did sumthin else. comes from my lack of knowin wut the interpreter does.
