View Range type script

[Ulqiorra]

Hello fellow members, I may need your help...

I am making a 8-way movement system, and instead of
your hero moving, he has an event move for him.
This is because I can't disable his movement through
scripting.

So what I need is a view range type script where
in an event you put comments to set the amount of
spaces he can see to.
EX: Comment: View = 5
And that will make the event see everything within a
5 space radius of it. Yes radius, it sees in
a full circle.

then you use comments to set a list of events for
it to act upon seeing.

Ex: Comment: [T] EV001 = switch 1 on

the sight commands i need are as follows:
switch [number] on
variable [operand] [number]
call event [common event id]

so thats basically what I need, and if you help with this,
you will get big credits.

This function determines whether an event is within a circular range of another event.  It is meant to be put into a new script section.

class Game_Event
 def inRange?(evt,viewRange)
   event=$game_map.events[evt]
   if !event
     self.need_refresh=true
     return false
   end
   x1=self.x
   x2=event.x
   y1=self.y
   y2=event.y
   x1-=x2
   x1*=x1
   y1-=y2
   y1*=y1
   if (x1+x2)>(viewRange*viewRange)
     self.need_refresh=true
     return false
   end
   return true     
 end
end

Using my script enabling script-based switches, you can create an event page like the one below:

Event Page XXX
Condition: Switch "s:inRange?(2,5)" is ON; Switch 's:tsOff?("A")' is ON
Trigger: Autorun
Commands [just an example]:

@>Text: Gotcha!
@>Comment: Following command ends the event
@>Script: setTempSwitchOn("A")

The switch's name "s:inRange?(2,5)" is a script-based switch.  It runs as soon as the event with this event page is within a 5-tile radius of the event with ID 2.  The commands within the event page itself are arbitrary.  The switch 's:tsOff?("A")' determines whether the temporary self-switch A is off.

There's always Near's good old "Veiw Range" script... Although it only enables switches when you're in the radius, rather than changing variables/self-switches.
