[Resolved] Edit to Game_Map

[OS]

Hello again! I decided to try and figure out my last problem by myself, and this is the result. I edited Game_Map's refresh Method so that every time it refresh's the variable count changes. If count == 20, then a bunch of conditional's go into effect that decide a weather change, using Ccoa's Weather script. I need to know if it would even work?

Here is the revised method:

Spoiler: Revised Method

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    # If map ID is effective
    if @map_id > 0
      # Refresh all map events
      for event in @events.values
        event.refresh
      end
      # Refresh all common events
      for common_event in @common_events.values
        common_event.refresh
      end
      # Refresh Weather
      @count = (@count + 1) % 140
      if @count == 20
        weather_types = RandWeather::WEATHER
        i = 0
        case rand(weather_types.size - 1)
        when i
          $game_screen.weather(0, 0, 0)
        when i + 1
        rate = RandWeather::RATE[i + 1]
        occurs = (rate * 2.0) / 2
        if occurs > 2.5
          rndm = rand(2)
          if rndm >= 1
            change = true
          else
            change = false
          end
        elsif occurs <= 2.5
          rndm = rand(3)
          if rand >= 2
            change = true
          else
            change = false
          end
        end
          if change == true
            $game_screen.weather(weather_type[i + 1], (rand(49) + 1), (rand(9) + 1))
          end
        when i + 2
        rate = RandWeather::RATE[i + 1]
        occurs = (rate * 2.0) / 2
        if occurs > 2.5
          rndm = rand(2)
          if rndm >= 1
            change = true
          else
            change = false
          end
        elsif occurs <= 2.5
          rndm = rand(3)
          if rand >= 2
            change = true
          else
            change = false
          end
        end
          if change == true
            $game_screen.weather(weather_type[i + 2], (rand(49) + 1), (rand(9) + 1))
          end
        when i + 3
        rate = RandWeather::RATE[i + 1]
        occurs = (rate * 2.0) / 2
        if occurs > 2.5
          rndm = rand(2)
          if rndm >= 1
            change = true
          else
            change = false
          end
        elsif occurs <= 2.5
          rndm = rand(3)
          if rand >= 2
            change = true
          else
            change = false
          end
        end
          if change == true
            $game_screen.weather(weather_type[i + 3], (rand(49) + 1), (rand(9) + 1))
          end
        end
      end
    end
    # Clear refresh request flag
    @need_refresh = false
  end

My game run's fine, but nothing happens. Every so often I gain a little lag, but other than that, nothing changes. I need to know how my count variable actually works (I got it from an other help topic), and why nothing ever changes. I know it's a bit long to look through, but I would really appreciate it.

Peace Out!

It should be in the update method, only calling refresh if needed. You have it in refresh, which only gets called when the screen needs to change(map change, switch change).

Thank you for telling me this. I edited my script, and it now works (almost) perfectly! It should be fine for now! THIS TOPIC IS NOW RESOLVED.

Peace Out!
