Velsarbor Jumping System

[Leonardo]

Uhm...
Anyone ever played Velsarbor(Rm2k3)?
If so, you will probably understand what I'm talking about.
By the tad I know of scripting(andit is VERY tad), I'd presume this isn't a extense command, that's why I'll ask. ^^

First, let I show you by a screenshot:
http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/6868 ... pleqt1.jpg[/img]

In that Screenshot, as you may see, there is an orange spot(It's a picture), right in front of the hero. It appears every time the hero is at least 2 tiles from the spot's tile. When you are there, you may jump by pressing Z.

There are to ways of making that.
1 -- what an moderate programmer would do -- is to make a lot of below-hero-events on the side of the spot. There, programming the indication picture to appear.
2 -- what an experter programmer would do -- is to make parallel process events using a relation between the spots' coodinates and the hero's coordinates to make the indication pictures appear.

The problem is:
-The 1 method uses lots of events on a Map. That lags RMXP.
-The second method is way boring to do, so that's why I'm asking a script.

What I want is:
A Script that defines on the Script Editor to appear a picture on an event everytime the hero is 2 tiles away of the same event. The event would be defined by using Call Script command.
I would just want the picture apearence, nothing more than that. I can program the jumping :D.

Haha. Easy. May not be perfect, and requires a little work, but I'm sure you'll be fine, right?

Peace.

My very thanks!
But I'll have to disturb you again... ._.

I didn't undestand excatly what to do.

-Where you put "~events[id]", you mean, for example, that EV033 ID's must be 33?

-I definitively didn't understand what you meant by "Self Switch/Switch"... ._.

-The Page 2 must be a parallel process right?


I don't know... What is actually happening is that the condition is not working. :|
Sorry for any laziness.

 

[OS]

haha. Give me a few mintues to make some screens to show you. And yes, id is the Event ID.

Okay. You need this script update;

Spoiler

  def update
    os_updt
    if jump_event?
      if (@x - $game_player.x <= 2) || ($game_player.x - @x <= 2) || (@y - $game_player.y <= 2) || ($game_player.y - @y <= 2)
        @jump_image = true
      else
        @jump_image = false
      end
    end
    return
  end
  
  def jump_event?
    if @jump != nil
      return @jump
    end
    return
  end
  
  def jump_image?
    return @jump_image if @jump_image != nil
  end
end

Then you need to make the Jump event with these two pages:
View attachment 2977
View attachment 2978

And then create a new event somewhere like this:
View attachment 2979

That should be easy 'nough, right?

Sorry if it takes too much work.

I'm with some strange failures, and as the system is working for you, I would not like to disturb you anymore with this thing... So, I'll make a last request. :|

Can you upload what you did as a demo? ^^
Sorry if it is asking too much, I know you have more systems to work on.

Looking at the code, I realize an error I made that makes me feel stupid. First, there needs to be 'end' at the end of the code in the Event that only has a Call Script Command.

Secondly, in the script itself, it checks for 2 spaces away left, right, up, OR down, so if you are at the bottom of the map, and the Jump thingy is at the top, but your x values are 2 apart or less, you can still see it. I have fixed this, and now I am going to fix the first Event, which is automatically calling Page 2, for reasons currently unknown. I'll be back soon with a working demo.
