#1 ArcheiaPosted 13 November 2012 - 06:44 PMI'd like to compile a list of Call Script equivalent of events. I think it's nice to

know the script call equivalent since there might be some people who work

better with them (like me ;w;). If I posted in the wrong section, feel free to

move. Below is a list of the ones I have so far...c:

move_route.list.insert(0,m.clone)

$game_player.force_move_route(move_route)

Transfer Event Location$game_map.events[id].moveto(new_x, new_y)

Transfer Player

$game_player.reserve_transfer(map_id, x, y, direction)

Screen Tintt = Tone.new(red,green,blue, gray)

screen.start_tone_change(t, duration)

Shake Screen

@params = []

@params[0] = power or $game_variables[x]

@params[1] = speed or $game_variables[y]

@params[2] = duration or $game_variables[z]

Note: (Neonblack and Fomar0153 found this glitch!)

The shake screen has an option in the editor where you can add a "wait" or

not. But the glitch involves that it will wait no matter what. But it will only

wait a number of frames equal to whatever the speed is set to the default

option. For example, the setting is 5 power, 5 speed, 60 frames, and wait. It

will wait for 5 frames, no matter what.

#3 CeliannaPosted 16 November 2012 - 03:55 AMI'd also be interested in

conditional script calls

which have no equivalent

event command. Things

like

$game_player.moving?

and

Input.trigger?(Input::A)

They're so useful! And it's okay, since you're asking for script calls, it's in the

right forum.

#4 GalvPosted 16 November 2012 - 05:20 AMThought I would add some more to the list.

Call Common Event:

$game_temp.reserve_common_event(id)

Play SE/ME/BGS/BGM:

RPG::SE.new("SE Name", volume, pitch).play

RPG::ME.new("ME Name", volume, pitch).play

RPG::BGS.new("BGS Name", volume, pitch).play

RPG::BGM.new("BGM Name", volume, pitch).play

Show Text:

$game_message.add("Text")

Gain/lose Item:

$game_party.gain_item($data_items[id], amount)

$game_party.lose_item($data_items[id], amount)

(For weapons/armor use $data_weapons or $data_armors in place of

$data_items.)

Gather Followers:

$game_player.followers.gather

Change Player Followers:

$game_player.followers.visible = true or false

Erase Event:

$game_map.events[event_id].erase

Some conditional script calls to add to Celianna's:

Remove Party Member from position (where x = party position. 0 = 1st

m = $game_party.members

$game_party.remove_actor(m[x].id)

Of course the list can go on, but I hope that little bit helps

EDIT: Fixed some typos and shortened input text as Nicke suggested

#5 NickePosted 16 November 2012 - 02:58 PMI'll just continue then!

If you ever wanted to add every item/skills/weapons for debugging purpose

(or something else?) it can be kind of tedious to add them all if you have

alot. This small script call will help immensely:

$data_items.each { |i|

next if i.nil? or i.name == ""

$game_party.gain_item(i, 99)

}

Of course, if you want you can change $data_items to $data_weapons or

something else and the amount you want.

When checking for input triggers/pressing you can actually shorten that a

bit:

Input.trigger?(:CTRL)

There is no need to write Input::CTRL anymore.

To get the leader of the party you can do this:

$game_party.leader

Gain/lose gold:

$game_party.gain_gold(amount)

$game_party.lose_gold(amount)

Check for current max gold:

$game_party.max_gold

Get map id and name:

$game_map.map_id

$game_map.name

To correct the screen shake bug thing do the following at Game_Interpreter:

def command_225

screen.start_shake(@params[0], @params[1], @params[2])

wait(@params[2]) if @params[2]

end

Now it will wait the right amount of frames and not 5.

Nope, that is the default behavior in the (really small) script call box

#13 ShazPosted 05 December 2012 - 09:13 PMNo, and it can cause your game to crash depending on where it puts the

line break. It's best, if your line will be too long, to force the break yourself,

after a =+-/*( symbol so it knows it's continued on the next line and doesn't

add in its own spaces and break things.

Do you mean like the choice branching?

#16 ShazPosted 05 December 2012 - 11:00 PMYes. The code for setting up the choices themselves is above, but the

branching is normally created automatically when you use the Show

Choices command. If you're now circumventing the Show Choices

command, you also have to have a way to fake the When [**] branch that

automatically gets created. It's like that script you created the other day

where you use conditions, but this thread is for script calls that don't rely on

other scripts being installed.

#17 TsukihimePosted 06 December 2012 - 12:53 AMIt is pretty easy to fake

the When [**] command

(402).

The definition is just

Where @params stores

that specific branch (0, 1, 2, ... )

So all you have to do is replace @params[0] with an integer

if @branch[@indent] == 0

# branch for first choice

elsif @branch[@indent] == 1

# branch for second choice

end

I think the indent will still mess things up since indentation is internal to the

game interpreter and event commands and you basically have no control

over it. Which means any scripted choice branches will need to use scripts

to create event commands, which I think is starting to get a little ugly.
