[RESOLVED]Creating a new event on a map using call script...

[Haki]

Here's the problem.

I tried to create a new event on a map using call script. I found out it could be done but it's very hard. Instead I tried just to duplicate an existing event and change it's location. I created two events. The first had only a message command and said "BLAH" and the graphic was "001-Fighter01. The second had the graphic "010-Lancer02" and it looked like this:

@>Call Script:ev = $game_map.events
              new_ev = Game_Event.new($game_map.map_id,ev[1].event)
              ev[ev.size + 1] = new_ev
              ev[ev.size].event.x = 0

This actually duplicates the commands but not the graphic. There was nothing there but when I tried to walk over the tile where the new event was supposed to be I couldn't walk over it and when I pressed enter it said "BLAH". I couldn't figure out why there's no graphic and I would appreciate if someone could tell me why's this happening.

Well, I don't have RMXP open right now, but I guess you would have to set the page graphic and passability yourself. To do it, all you have to do is:

new_ev.page.graphic = "010-Lancer02"
new_ev.through = true

That should fix the problem, but then again, I haven't tested it...

I tried that already. It doesn't work.

EDIT: I figured it out. It happened because the scene didn' update itself.

be careful because $game_map.events is a hash and not an array, and you could have situations in which its contents have keys 2 3 and 4, its size is 3, size+1 is 4 and you overwrite the event 4.

EDIT: you need to use something a little more elaborated that looks for the first unused id
