[Resolved] [VX] Event duplication

[Fustel]

To duplicate the 1st event of a map, I use the following code :

class Game_Map

    def data_events

      return @map.events

    end

end

 

def duplicate_event

  n = 0

  for i in $game_map.data_events.keys do

    n = [n, i].max

  end

  n += 1

  $game_map.data_events[n] = RPG::Event.new( $game_map.data_events[1].x+1, $game_map.data_events[1].y)

  $game_map.data_events[n].id = n

  $game_map.data_events[n].pages = $game_map.data_events[i].pages

  $game_map.events[n] = Game_Event.new( $game_map.map_id, $game_map.data_events[n])

end

The new event works perfectly, exept... it doesn't appear on the map.
When I say it doesn't apper, it only apply to its graphic (altough its pages[n].graphics is correct). It IS on the map, blocking the PC and giving the items it have to give (in my test project, the event is a chest).

What did I miss ??
Unless there is a simpler way to duplicate an event.

You need to refresh it's graphic in Spriteset_Map. A simple way to do that would be to make @spriteset in Scene_Map accessible (an attr_accessor) and then, at the end of duplicate_event, you can add $scene.spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new.

I know, it's bit of a dirty way to recreate the spriteset each time, but it works.
If you want to optimize the script, you can create a method in Spriteset_Map that refreshes the events graphics.

Also, I suggest you to take a look at my VX Map Layers script, I'm sure it can help you.

Hope it helps
