"Sneak" ability?

[marshzd]

I'm doing this here since I have no idea how you would do it regularly. I want to make a sneak script that has an eye that starts to open when an enemy starts getting you near, sort of a warning type thing. Any ideas?

 

[Nava]

that seems like a good idea im new to scripting but i think im gettin pretty good fast u will have to ignore my first script the prevention system im workin on that now but if i uncover anything i will let you know

You can just use Near's View Range, and just test the range of the event with the player. Simply making a window or something, that checks range of events and player on the map.

# Pass through each event, saving the nearest range
nearest_range = nil

for event in $game_map.events
  if nearest_range.nil? || VR.range($game_player, event) < nearest_range
    nearest_range = VR.range($game_player, event)
  end
end

# Then, just make a case statement, with your range, with when statements for each range:

case nearest_range
when 0..1
  p 'Right Next to Event'
when 2..5
  p 'Getting Close'
when 6..10
  p ' Plenty of room'
else
  p 'no where near you'
end

More or less, something like that. It's not to developed, but if you need any help, just ask.

How do I use it? Please be more specific.

Telling somebody to post back ASAP won't make them.

Specially if they don't read the thread.

Ahem, anyways...

I think it just goes in a new script above main.

 

[bobobojjen]

I got an error when I put it in? How come?

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Whats your error?

Do you have the view range script?

What are you trying to do?

You aren't being very helpful on helping us help you.

 

[bobobojjen]

It says Script 'Sneak' line 4: NoMethodError occurred undefined method `events' for nil:NilClass. I don't have the view range script. How do I get it?
Sorry about all the trouble.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

First, get the View Range. Check the download manager for it or Near's Test Bed in the download manager.

Secondly, what I posted wasn't some magic script. It is just an example of a how you could detect the closest event. That's it.

 

[bobobojjen]

Sorry but I can't find the View Range script? Where do I find it?

 

[bobobojjen]

Hello?

 

[Kest]

Check the download manager for it or Near's Test Bed in the download manager.

He already said.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Ok. Since you don't understand, I will take you by the hand and walk you through it.

Go to the download manager : http://www.rmxp.org/forums/local_links.php?catid=27

Tools the look for Near's test bed and presto :

(The only reason I was an ass here, is because of that rude "Hello? @#%$" remark. What's that all about? If it wasn't for me trying to be a nice guy all the time, you would have been SOL)

 

[bobobojjen]

Sorry.

 

[verballydecapitating]

Yeah, hi, what the hell do you want?

 

[bobobojjen]

How do I use the view range script? I downloaded the SDK Bed thing but its in a game format. How do I get the indavidulal script?

 

[Alistor]

............wow.
Open the Project, not the game. Open the Script editor, and search the left bar for the view renge script... copy it and paste it in your project.

 

[bobobojjen]

O.K I have the view range script but where do I input that stuff you said to edit?

 

[Raziel]

Wow, I thought that was marshzd's thread and he's the one asking for help. It's okay to ask for help in someone other's thread, but if you guys don't stop to be rude, nobody's going to help you. If you have individual questions about Near's View Range script please make your own topic. Closed this thread for now, if marshzd wants me to open this thread again, just send me a PM.

Edit:
Okay, I'm reopening this thread, but everyone please behave.
