[Resolved] Waiting for X time.

[mephisto]

Hi Again, Again, Again. ;D.

I wonder, if is possible to make something Like this:

You Active some Event...and the event have an special conditional that when passed X time, is actived a Self_Switch A (for example).

Example of the Example:

The player active an event, and when the pass 4 hours the A self switch of the event will be active. (obviusly the Hours can be Frames).
___

I tried with variables, but not work.

@Time = 0
If @time = @time + 4 #the hours.

But I can't define the frame count.

Thanks.

If you are looking for some sort of in game value to calculate time. Graphics.frame_count will get you the number of times the screen has been redrawn since it was last reset. If you divide that by Graphics.frame_rate you get the total amount of seconds that have passed.

Hmmm...

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :self_switch_timers
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @self_switch_timers = {}
    seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init
  end
end

class << Graphics
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update, :update
  def update
    seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update
    return if $game_system.nil?
    $game_system.self_switch_timers.each do |key, timestate|
      timestate[0] -= 1
      if timestate[0] < 0
        $game_selfswitches[key] = timestate[1]
        $game_system.self_switch_timers.delete(key)
        $game_map.need_refresh = true
      end
    end
  end
end

OK. Here's how this works:

$game_system.self_switch_timers[[map_id, event_id, 'Letter']] = [number_of_frames, boolean]

Ok. So let's say on you want to turn off event 4 self-switch A, on the third map in 300 frames.

$game_system.self_switch_timers[[3, 4, 'A']] = [300, false]

Just use true or false in the boolean. Untested, so let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks for Answer Khmp and K.Seph.

But, I get a stupid error in the Line 7, when says end.

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :self_switch_timers
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @self_switch_timers = {}
    seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init
  end
end

class << Graphics
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update, :update
  def update
    seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update
    return if $game_system.nil?
    $game_system.self_switch_timers.each do |key, timestate|
      timestate[0] -= 1
      if timestate[0] < 0
        $game_selfswitches[key] = timestate[1]
        $game_system.self_switch_timers.delete(key)
      end
    end
  end
end

Thanks.

Talk about a major brain fart. I edited the code in my post above. Try now.

 

[mephisto]

Thanks that works perfectly, but you forgot a

$game_map.need_refresh = true

and you put a

$game_selfswitches

instead of a

$game_self_switches

So the new code is:

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :self_switch_timers
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @self_switch_timers = {}
    seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init
  end
end

class << Graphics
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update, :update
  def update
    seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update
    return if $game_system.nil?
    $game_system.self_switch_timers.each do |key, timestate|
      timestate[0] -= 1
      if timestate[0] < 0
        $game_self_switches[key] = timestate[1]
        $game_map.need_refresh = true
        $game_system.self_switch_timers.delete(key)
      end
    end
  end
end

I dont want to Desafiate you eh  :

Thanks for the code!!

I actually did put a $game_map.need_refresh = true in there, after I edited the code. XD

But yeah, I don't have RMXP here, so I couldn't remember if it was self_switches or selfswitches. It's sad how much I have memorized and more sad all the silly mistakes I make.

Don't Worry about that.
I hear from my Cooking master:

'The recipe can be forgotten, but never the technique'

Thanks for the Code Again.
