Question about $game_map.events

[darkmessenger84]

When inserting a script into the event editor, is there any way to get the event's properties with $game_map.events without having to use it's ID number, you know, self-reference. I see in some of the scripts there are some parameters prefixed with self. Thanks in advance.

In this case, self is an interpreter object. So, you could use

$game_map.events[@event_id]

so, if you want the character_name, use...

$game_map.events[@event_id].character_name

Thanks, although I figured out a different way around it. You see, I wanted to loop over the $game_map's entire array of events and perform a method to activate their individual self switches based on certain conditions, which I have figured out.

$game_map.events is a hash which is probably your problem.

$game_map.events.entries can be used to get an array (unordered) of the events in the map.
