Player : No Map Transfer Fix
Version: 2.0
By: Kain Nobel

Introduction

This is a little 'security script' that you can put in your project. Basically, what it does is if you call a Transfer Player command with an event, but the map can't be found, it'll show/print a message telling the player.

Spoiler: Example Message

"Cannot access Map [id] because it is missing...
please try a different map or notify the author of
the project that one of his maps is missing."

Features

• Shows message notifying of missing map
• Doesn't crash your game because of your silly mistake :P

Screenshots

Take a screenshot of a Show Message event... there's your screenshot!

Instructions

Place above 'main' and below 'SDK' and 'MACL' (if using). This script does NOT require SDK, so in order to remove it just delete the SDK.log, SDK.enabled? test and the last end in the script.

Compatibility

Spoiler: This script aliases the following methods...

Interpreter.command_201

Haven't tested the script in VX yet, feel free to tell me your results.

Author's Notes

If you happen to have the MInterpreter (featured in MACL 2.3), this script will display the message using the "Show Text" event command, else it'll just print the message like normal.
