[Resolved] Turning a map into a battle background

[webgovernor]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any ideas on how to turn a map screen (the playable map) into a battle background via script?

I'm trying to make a CBS, one that displays the current map background, I've alread figured out how to change the player's battler into the current player's graphic, now if I could just get the battleback to show the current map screen without making another instance of Scene_Map or Spriteset_Map.

I'm sure there's a way.

Anyway, if I get it to work I'll post the new CBS.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I think theres a line or 2 in scene battle that say Spriteset_Battle, you could try changing that to Spriteset_Map. I didn't test this so I don't know if it would work.

Sorry, but that won't work. Under your initialize, add @spriteset = Spriteset_map.new and under your dispose, put @spriteset.dispose - that should work. Hope that helps!

Edit: You may also need @spriteset.refresh in your refresh method/update method. I don't know yet ^_^

Thanks guys,

I appreciate the help.

I ended up figuring it out, I'm just working on an SDK compliant version then I'll post it.

Here's what I did:
1) The spriteset map thing, and I just eliminated the spriteset_battle lines
2) Used the event id to calculate animation positions on a target (single target attack)
3) Drew actor animations on the $game_player.screen_x and screen_y coordinates.

Thanks again!
