[Resolved] the mother folder

[Aran]

if i wanted to make a map a dungeon, and all the maps under it. How would I do it?

How would you do what? The maps? The dungeon?

And are you sure this is related to RGSS?

I think he's talking about making a map joining all the maps with their child maps. Surprisingly enough, RMXP actually keeps track of this in code you can call.

module RPG
  class MapInfo
    def initialize
      @name = ""
      @parent_id = 0
      @order = 0
      @expanded = false
      @scroll_x = 0
      @scroll_y = 0
    end
    attr_accessor :name
    attr_accessor :parent_id
    attr_accessor :order
    attr_accessor :expanded
    attr_accessor :scroll_x
    attr_accessor :scroll_y
  end
end

The variable parent_id contains an integer value, relating to the id of the map that it joins to. If this is any help.

Loading the MapInfos data can be done like so:

map_info = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")

which should return an Hash of RPG::MapInfos objects, with the map id as the key. You could then use that, and some looping arrays, to determine what maps are child maps of your current map.

class Game_Map
  def child_maps?(id)
    map_infos = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")
    maps = []
    for key in map_infos.keys
      next unless map_infos[key].parent_id == id
      maps[key] = map_infos[key].parent_id
    end
    return maps
  end
end

You could then simply add a method to Game_Map:

class Game_Map
  def parent_id?(id)
    map_infos = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")
    for key in map_infos.keys
      return map_infos[key].parent_id if key == id
    end
  end
end

Or you could do it the easy way, and add this code to the $data_* initialization of Scene_Title:

$data_mapinfo = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")

And then you can easily just do $data_mapinfo[MapID].parent_id to return the parent ID.

@Selwyn: Yeah, it was kinda hard to word out in a quick 2 minutes. I'm even surprised that rex caught it, ^^

@Prexus: That sounds perfect. What I want to do is make it so if the mother map is a dungeon then so are all its children. Prex, i love you (no homo tho...)
