Transferring the player to a specific map from a script

[Level10]

I don't have the code handy right now, I've got the beginnings of a world map system, using a series of images, but the main part I'm interested in is basically:

if this key is pressed

   if this location is highlighted

      move player to specific map

Obviously $scene = scene_map.new takes me back to the map that the world map was called from, which is fine if all I'm doing is looking at the world map then leaving, but not really what I'm looking for.

Try checking out how the transfer map function was handled in the Interpreter. Its different depending on whether you have XP or VX, but the end result is the same, and all the relevant code is in that one function.

Sweet, thanks for that. I'll have a look once I get on the machine that has RMXP. Having the program and the internet in different locations is frustrating as hell.

I've found the function in the interpreter, but I'm not sure how I can replicate that that in another scene, say if I want to switch from map 1 to map 2 when A is pressed.

the "A" key is the X button, so...
In the update method, add

    if Input.trigger?(Input::X)

      $game_temp.player_transferring = true

      $game_temp.player_new_map_id = 2

      $game_temp.player_new_x = 12

      $game_temp.player_new_y = 7

      $game_temp.player_new_direction = 2

      Graphics.freeze

      # Set transition processing flag

      $game_temp.transition_processing = true

      $game_temp.transition_name = ""

    end
