Changing Region ID

[Kaza]

I was making a little custom way to place items in the world and was using regions to do so.  Everything seems to work perfectly so far, except I don't want players to be able to place items on top of each other.  I figured the best way to do this was to change the region id, but I can't find any command that does this.  I found the command    "change_region_id(x, y, new_ID)"    for VX but that doesn't seem to work in MV.  Am I missing something or will I need to find a different way to do this?

There is no such command in either VX or Ace.  If you found that command, it would have been in a script that someone wrote.  Likewise, if you want to do it in MV, you will need a plugin.


How do you allow the player to place the item?  Do you create an event and they can actually see the item?  If so, you can use $gameMap.eventsXy().size > 0 which will tell you if there's an event on that location.

That will work.  Thanks!  Won't be able to say make a table event and put an item on it, but I suppose that's not necessary.  If you do think of a way though, I'll take it!

I'm sure there are event spawning scripts/plugins around.

That plugin doesn't really do anything for me unless I'm missing something. This places events in certain locations, which I've already done.  I just wanted to use regions to restrict where things could go.  I was using no region as anything can be placed, region 1 as nothing can be placed, and region 2 only certain items can be placed, but this region would only be in locations that already have certain placed items.  I was intending on changing regions as soon as specific items were placed, but I think I found a workaround to do exactly what I wanted, just not as clean and simple as I was hoping.
