Waiting for X time (This time is a Request)

[mephisto]

I don't Know Why I dont think before give the Last thread like Filled, but I'm very idiot or stupid, you choose.

Well, K.Seph Make me a little piece of code, and I Wonder in my mind, if it possible to change the Self switch by a Variable.

Let me explain, well, This script make when a X time is pass a Self switch is activated, now, I want when X time pass a Variable Operation occurs/happen. for example adition, substraction, (it's the principal, I dont want things like Multiplication, Percent or something like that, but if you can i dont will angry for that eh.  :).

this is the piece of code or script, I think is a script:

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :self_switch_timers
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @self_switch_timers = {}
    seph_selfswitchtimers_gmsys_init
  end
end

class << Graphics
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update, :update
  def update
    seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update
    return if $game_system.nil?
    $game_system.self_switch_timers.each do |key, timestate|
      timestate[0] -= 1
      if timestate[0] < 0
        $game_self_switches[key] = timestate[1]
        $game_map.need_refresh = true
        $game_system.self_switch_timers.delete(key)
      end
    end
  end
end

Resume: I want transform this script, instead activate a Self Switch, change the variable value (with set, sums and substractions opt: Multiplication, division, and percents). withouth altering the structure of the script eh.

I wait, this request can be understanding.

You can always count on me.

class Game_System
  class TimerOperations
    attr_accessor :switches
    attr_accessor :variables
    attr_accessor :self_switches
    def initialize
      @switches = {}
      @variables = {}
      @self_switches = {}
    end
    def update
      @switches.each do |switch_id, timervalue|
        timervalue[0] -= 1
        if timervalue[0] < 0
          $game_switches[switch_id] = timervalue[1]
          @switches.delete(switch_id)
          $game_map.need_refresh = true
        end
      end
      @variables.each do |variable_id, tov|
        tov[0] -= 1
        if tov[0] < 0
          $game_variables[variable_id].send(tov[1], tov[2])
          @variables.delete(variable_id)
          $game_map.need_refresh = true
        end
      end
      @self_switches.each do |key, timervalue|
        timervalue[0] -= 1
        if timervalue[0] < 0
          $game_self_switches[key] = timervalue[1]
          @self_switches.delete(key)
          $game_map.need_refresh = true
        end
      end
    end
  end
  attr_readers :timer_ops
  alias_method :seph_timeroperations_gmsys_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @timer_ops = Game_System::TimerOperations.new
    seph_timeroperations_gmsys_init
  end
end

class << Graphics
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update, :update
  def update
    seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update
    $game_system.timer_ops.update unless $game_system.nil?
  end
end

Ok. Now you adjust your switches like so:

$game_system.timer_ops.switches[switch_id] = [frames, bool]

Self-Switches:

$game_system.timer_ops.self_switches[[map_id, event_id, 'Letter']] = [frames, bool]

Variables is a bit more trickier.

$game_system.timer_ops.variables[variable_id] = [timer, operator, value]

Now, for operator, you need to have
:+=, :-=, :*=, :/= , or :%=

So if you wanted to add 5 to variable 4 in 350 frames

$game_system.timer_ops.variables[4] = [350, :+=, 5]

You must use a ':' + your operator

Thanks, but I cant make work the Variable timer, I don't know why but when I put a call script I get a Sintax Error in the Called. (Error while running the script)

 

[SephirothSpawn]

What's your call script. Error while running usually means call script error.

 

[mephisto]

I used the code that you giveme like an example, but every time that I try I get the same error:
This is the image on my editor.

Thanks.

some user made a coundown time, you must search it in the scrip forum.

Mephisto, did you find the countdown? Or did you fix the script somehow? I was thinking of a solution but I think it'd be nice if Dervvulfman could check this out as well

@PINEDAXP: What the hell does DerVV have to do with this thread?

Ok. Try this code out:

class Game_System
  class TimerOperations
    attr_accessor :switches
    attr_accessor :variables
    attr_accessor :self_switches
    def initialize
      @switches = {}
      @variables = {}
      @self_switches = {}
    end
    def update
      @switches.each do |switch_id, timervalue|
        timervalue[0] -= 1
        if timervalue[0] < 0
          $game_switches[switch_id] = timervalue[1]
          @switches.delete(switch_id)
          $game_map.need_refresh = true
        end
      end
      @variables.each do |variable_id, tov|
        tov[0] -= 1
        if tov[0] < 0
          case tov[1]
          when 0 ; $game_variables[variable_id] += tov[2]
          when 1 ; $game_variables[variable_id] -= tov[2]
          when 2 ; $game_variables[variable_id] *= tov[2]
          when 3 ; $game_variables[variable_id] /= tov[2]
          when 4 ; $game_variables[variable_id] %= tov[2]
          end
          @variables.delete(variable_id)
          $game_map.need_refresh = true
        end
      end
      @self_switches.each do |key, timervalue|
        timervalue[0] -= 1
        if timervalue[0] < 0
          $game_self_switches[key] = timervalue[1]
          @self_switches.delete(key)
          $game_map.need_refresh = true
        end
      end
    end
  end
  attr_reader :timer_ops
  alias_method :seph_timeroperations_gmsys_init, :initialize
  def initialize
    @timer_ops = Game_System::TimerOperations.new
    seph_timeroperations_gmsys_init
  end
end

class << Graphics
  alias_method :seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update, :update
  def update
    seph_selfswitchtimers_graphics_update
    $game_system.timer_ops.update unless $game_system.nil?
  end
endp/code]


Now instead of using :+=, use 0 - 4: 0 - Add, 1 - Subtract, 2 - Multiple, 3 - Divide, 4 - Modulus

Aleluya Brother xD, now works!
Thanks K.Seph, this script will serve to much to me and my game, really really Thanks!.
