Player Sprite Change

[Tempus]

How do I do this through RGSS? Thank you.
Fixed. See below for the script if you want it.

 

#===============================================================================

#  Player-Event Swap, Original By PK8, Edited and adapted to a script by Tempus

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  Details:

#       Swaps the players position, sprite and direction with an event

#       (default ID 10)

#       When the player is in control of the event, $player is set to 2.

#       for example, you can check if the player is currently controlling the

#       event by checking against $player. ($player == 2 in a call script 

#       conditional branch)

#===============================================================================

EVENTID = 10

 

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler

  attr_accessor   :character_name

  attr_accessor   :character_hue

end

 

class Game_Event < Game_Character

  attr_accessor   :character_name

  attr_accessor   :character_hue

end

 

class Game_Character

  attr_accessor   :direction

  attr_accessor   :through

end

 

class Scene_Map

  alias tsswap_main main

  def main

    tsswap_main

    if $game_variables[EVENTID] == 0

      $game_variables[EVENTID] = 1

    end

    @tsid = $game_variables[EVENTID]

    @ts_x = $game_player.x

    @ts_y = $game_player.y

    @ts_d = $game_player.direction

    @ts_s = $game_actors[1].character_name

    @ts_sv = $game_map.events[@tsid].character_name

    $player = 1

  end

  alias tsswap_update update

  def update

    tsswap_update

    if $game_variables[EVENTID] == 0

      $game_variables[EVENTID] = 1

    end

    @tsid = $game_variables[EVENTID]

    if Input.trigger?(Input::A)

      unless $game_system.map_interpreter.running?

        @ts_x = $game_player.x

        @ts_y = $game_player.y

        @ts_d = $game_player.direction

        @ts_s = $game_actors[1].character_name

        @ts_sv = $game_map.events[@tsid].character_name

        $game_player.moveto($game_map.events[@tsid].x, $game_map.events[@tsid].y)

        $game_actors[1].character_name = @ts_sv

        $game_player.direction = $game_map.events[@tsid].direction

        $game_map.events[@tsid].moveto(@ts_x, @ts_y)

        $game_map.events[@tsid].character_name = @ts_s

        $game_map.events[@tsid].direction = @ts_d

        if $player == 2

          $player = 1

        else

          $player = 2

        end

        $game_player.refresh

      end

    end

  end

end

Try this format.

 $game_actors[actor_id].character_name = "character set name."

for example of how to use it:

$game_actors[1].character_name = "001-Fighter01"

 

[Tempus]

That just produces a "undefined method `character_name=' for #<Game_Actor:0x2acb448>"

 

[Flickayy]

hmm, ill have a look for ya, ill create a sample script for you to use.

 

[Atoa]

You got this error because "character_name" is an "attr_reader"

Add this above main to solve that:

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler

  attr_accessor   :character_name

  attr_accessor   :character_hue

end

Remember that you still need to update the graphic on map, so you should also add to the "change graphic" script call this code

$game_player.refresh

 

[Flickayy]

Thanks for that Atoa. i was just about to put a sample up :smoke:

 

[Tempus]

Ah, thanks. That solved that problem.

I really know little to none about scripting, and I'm trying to learn by looking at other peoples scripts.

I found this Player Event Swap XP demo that swaps the player's X and Y with an events X and Y using common events and Call Scripts.

I tried to convert it into a full script, including sprite swap.
It's not working too well.
Here's what I've got so far. I realize there must be redundant/bad code in there.

 

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler

  attr_accessor   :character_name

  attr_accessor   :character_hue

end

 

class Scene_Map

  alias tsswap_main main

  def main

    tsswap_main

    if $game_variables[10] == 0

      $game_variables[10] = 1

    end

    @tsid = $game_variables[10]

    @tsswap_tx = $game_player.x

    @tsswap_ty = $game_player.y

    @tsswap_ts = $game_actors[1].character_name

    @tsswap_tsv = $game_map.events[@tsid].character_name

  end

  alias tsswap_update update

  def update

    tsswap_update

    if $game_variables[10] == 0

      $game_variables[10] = 1

    end

    @tsid = $game_variables[10]

    if Input.trigger?(Input::A)

      unless $game_system.map_interpreter.running?

        tsswap_swap

      end

    end

  end

  def tsswap_swap

    $game_player.moveto($game_map.events[@tsid].x, $game_map.events[@tsid].y)

    $game_actors[1].character_name = '@tsswap_tsv'

    $game_map.events[@tsid].moveto(@tsswap_tx, @tsswap_ty)

    $game_map.events[@tsid].character_name = '@tsswap_ts'

    $game_player.refresh

  end

end

 

The error I'm getting right now is

Script 'Game_Character 1' line 232: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method `' for nil:NilClass

Which points to the moveto section of Game_Character 1

Help is much appreciated.

I believe it has been 72 hours now, so I think a bump may be okay.

 

[Tempus]

... Bump again, then..

 

[dricc]

It means that $game_map.events[@tsid] doesn't exists .

Well , if you want to make scripts , you have to learn how to make debugs . It is very simple : just put some "print" .

 

[Tempus]

I managed to fix it. Check first post for the script if you want it.
