end

And this is the line where it is about

      @text.gsub!(/\\[Ee]\[([0-9]+)\]/) do
        self.y = $game_map.events[$1.to_i].screen_y - self.height - 64
        self.x = $game_map.events[$1.to_i].screen_x - self.width / 2
        if self.y < 0 
          self.y = 0
        elsif self.y > 480 - self.height
          self.y = 480 - self.height
        end

Can someone help me?

It's working fine with me what's the problem?

You might've accidentially deleted the screen_x and screen_y definitions... insert these (default ones) somewhere reasonable inside class Game_Character:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Get Screen X-Coordinates
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def screen_x
    # Get screen coordinates from real coordinates and map display position
    return (@real_x - $game_map.display_x + 3) / 4 + 16
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Get Screen Y-Coordinates
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def screen_y
    # Get screen coordinates from real coordinates and map display position
    y = (@real_y - $game_map.display_y + 3) / 4 + 32
    # Make y-coordinate smaller via jump count
    if @jump_count >= @jump_peak
      n = @jump_count - @jump_peak
    else
      n = @jump_peak - @jump_count
    end
    return y - (@jump_peak * @jump_peak - n * n) / 2
  end

BlueScope if it was that then the error would've said

undefined method 'screen_y' for Game_Character:Class

or something like that

actually the event you are trying to reference does not exist

 

[rutix]

so how can i fix that Trickster?

In whatever event you used the message code in (\e), change the number to an event that actually exists.

Although, there are much better message scripts out there. This was only in the tutorial to give people a little bit of an insight into scripting. My own UMS has many more features and is easier to install.

ahhh k thnx ccoa
