[Resolved] Turning off scripts

[extremeclay]

I was wandering how to turn off certain scripts. In the game I'm making, in the field, the Train_Actor script is on so the characters follow the lead. But, in a city, or event, I need the Train_Actor script to be turned off until the event is over or you exit the city. Can someone please tell me how? Thanks.

If you are talking about fukuyama script, you already can disable it using a switch.

 

[extremeclay]

I'm not sure what fukuyama's script is, but I'm talking about the caterpillar script.

 

[OS]

Sigh. Show us the script. We'll show you the method.

 

[tibuda]

I'm not sure what fukuyama's script is, but I'm talking about the caterpillar script.

fukuyama is the author of the most popular caterpillar script.

 

[extremeclay]

oops, sorry. I just took a look at the script and it is fukuyama's script, but it seems to be an earlier version. I tried to find the latest version, but it has an error with one of my other scripts.

 

[Anonymous]

Your going to have to tell us which script it is giving the error in. and post the train_actor script

OptimistShadow knows his stuff, so once you have posted the script and told us what the other script problem it gives you, OptimistShadow can sort it out, or whoever does it first.

 

[Rare]

It's easily done with a simple switch. You should really try posting the script, that way we can help you.

 

[Anonymous]

I've said that in the post directly above you.

 

[Rare]

Sorry. I usually just read the first post and scroll down. Not the biggest deal ever...especially not something to bring up in the topic...brings it kind of off topic. ;D

Ok, here's the script I'm using-

TRAIN_ACTOR_TRANSPARENT_SWITCHES_INDEX = 20

See this code?
You can just turn that switch on/off to disable/enabled the script.

 

[Selwyn]

actually no.

it's the following one : (replace true by true or false in an event script command according to whether you to activate the caterpillar script or not.)

TRAIN_ACTOR_TRANSPARENT_SWITCH = true

 

[extremeclay]

Well, I just tried that, and it locks-up, and I can't move the character or call the menu screen.

 

[Anonymous]

You need to turn on switch 20 to switch off the script, then turn off the switch to enable it again.

 

[extremeclay]

Sorry, but how would you go about entering that in?

 

[Anonymous]

create a new event and bring up the three page menu, on page one click the control switches tab and click the arrow to open up the list of switches.

Choose number 20 and name it Train on/off (it doesn't need to be called this) and then click OK, it is ON by default. Then to turn Train_Actor back on just make another event and choose switch 20 again but this time check the OFF dot.

 

[extremeclay]

YAY! It worked! Thank you VERY much!
