[Resolved] Load game in a different location than save.

[Jereth]

I'm looking for a way so when a game is loaded, your character starts at a predefined location if a switch is enabled. What code, and where would I need to put it to have this work:

if (switch009 = on)
load chara, map_ID 24, x 20, y15

So if a switch is on, and you save, when you load the game you'll be on Map 24 at xy 20,15.

I haven't tested, but adding this script before Main shall do the trick.

class Scene_Load
  alias_method :jereth_scnload_read_save_data, :read_save_data
  def read_save_data(file)
    jereth_scnload_read_save_data(file)
    if $game_switches[[COLOR=Red]9[/COLOR]]
      $game_temp.player_transferring = true
      $game_temp.player_new_map_id = [COLOR=Red]24[/COLOR]
      $game_temp.player_new_x = [COLOR=Red]20[/COLOR]
      $game_temp.player_new_y = [COLOR=Red]15[/COLOR]
      $game_temp.player_new_direction = [COLOR=Red]8[/COLOR]
    end
  end
end

You can change the red numbers for anything you want.

I tried close to the same thing, the problem with that is if you put the script after the the original Scene_Load it loads the regular map then transports you to the new map, if you put it before, it simply can't find a call. However, I found a way to get the job done.

In the class Scene_load where the scripts reads:

        $game_map.setup($game_map.map_id)
        $game_player.center($game_player.x, $game_player.y)

I made an addition after it so it looks like this:

        $game_map.setup($game_map.map_id)
        $game_player.center($game_player.x, $game_player.y)
        if $game_switches[9]
          $game_map.setup(24)
          $game_temp.player_new_x = 20
          $game_temp.player_new_y = 15
          $game_player.moveto($game_temp.player_new_x, $game_temp.player_new_y)        end

This got rid of any errors I had any other way, it loads the normal load map, then is overridden by new ones if the switch is on.

Thanks for the help.
