PS: answer my question please

I'm still relatively new to RGSS2 but I'm trying to set up a condition switch to enable/disable the fogs, because I am using Kylock's day/night script.

I tried putting a:

"if $game_switches[6] == true"
or
"when $game_switches[6]"

under module, but I'm getting strange errors and I don't know Ruby enough to get through this.  Any help is much appreciated.

You can turn on a switch to disable the fog. Set the switch in the fog settings.

Got an error:

line 168: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method 'dispose' for nil:NilClass

I'm guessing this is because the step above it was skipped so there is nothing to dispose but what would I know...

Damn, thought I was specific but guess I wasn't. >,<

line 168 of the updated Fog Feature script.  I got it when I was exiting the Menu.
I am using Ring Menu script, but after I commented (=begin,=end) that script out, I didn't get the same error the first time, but after going in and out of the menu 2-3 times I started to get the exact same error.

Update to my error:

By editing the script, I no longer get that error I was getting.

  def dispose_fog
    @fog.dispose if @fog != nil
  end

I included "if @fog != nil" and it's sort of working now.  Only problem at the moment is that when I bring up the main menu when @fog==nil, and make the Fog_disabling_switch=false, it does not re-create the fog.  This ONLY happens when I open the menu with the switch on.  If I do not open the menu with the disabling switch on, it works perfectly.

I am currently trying to figure this out, but since I'm new to ruby I won't get too far.  Any help is appreciated.  And thanks for what you've done so far, Hevendor. ^_^

EDIT:  Woot! I was able to solve the problem.  I changed:
"
  def initialize
    hev_fog_feature_initialize
    @fog_removal = nil
    create_fog if (Fog_Map_Settings::Fog_disabling_switch == nil || $game_switches[Fog_Map_Settings::Fog_disabling_switch] == false)
  end
"

into

"
  def initialize
    hev_fog_feature_initialize
    @fog_removal = nil
    create_fog
  end
"

My guess is because while it was nil, after entering and leaving the menu...  It froze the create_fog process?
Nevermind, I don't know... :P

I got an error saying
Line 118: typeError occured nil can't be coerced into fixnum
It says this right as soon as the game starts. (after selecting a new game or continue). I have no clue how to fix this. I love scripting and all but I dont know how to fix them

That was an oversight on my part, change the fog disabling switch to a number and it will work fine. I did set it to nil by default and didn't realize it can't actually be nil.

unless I have another version of this, this is where the error is found
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Update Fog Sprite
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_fog
    if @fog != nil
           @fog.ox = $game_map.display_x / 8 + $game_map.fog_ox                    
           @fog.oy = $game_map.display_y / 8 + $game_map.fog_oy

that is where the error occurs. Is that really a switch??? (and I thought scripting was easy I see why ever one like events)
Oh and on a minor note when I choose a new game and play through the error doesnt appear but the fog isnt there as well. All most as if the script wasnt even there.

Script version... along with exactly what were you doing when the error ocurred, and so forth. At the moment, I have no flipping idea what your problem is.

It just says "Latest update" you posted it up March 9th. I about chose the one you first posted but you said you updated it so I chose that one instead.it basically states what Im doing a few replys up. I press continue and the error comes up immediatley. I dont get to do anything. But when I start a new game it plays fine untill I reach the part where the fog is suppossed to be and there is no fog. I have no clue what is going on there that it has an error on continuing but doesnt on a new game

Sorry if this is a stupid question... but why won't my fog show up... I assigned the fog number to my mapID and it won't show up when I test play it. My fog picture is in my "picture folder". Heres my settings right now:

  #============================================================================
  # * Configure Fog numbers -> names for setup timesaving. Format:
  # {fognumber => 'fogname.extension', ...}
  # where 'Fogname.extension' must be the name of a fog picture and its extension
  # located in the pictures folder
  #============================================================================
  Fog_names = {01 => 'mistfog.png'}
    #============================================================================
  # * Set maps you wish to have fogs here. Format:
  # Fog_maps = {mapID => Fog number, mapID2 => Fog number, ...}
  #============================================================================
  Fog_maps = {'TestMapIntroWM' => 01}
  #============================================================================
  # * Set up fog settings. Uses (fog number => setting, ...) format
  # - Opacity - Opacity of fog, ranging from 0 (invisible) to 255 (opaque)
  # - Zoom - size of fog. '1' is normal not '100'.
  # - Blend - 0 - Normal, 1 - Add, 2 - Subtract
  # - SxSy - Scroll settings. (fog number => [sx,sy] ...)
  #============================================================================
  Fog_opacity = {01 => 255}
  Fog_zoom = {01 => 3}
  Fog_blend = {01 => 2}
  Fog_sxsy = {01 => [2, 0]}

If I'm doing anything wrong I'd really appreciate the help.
