Counting steps inside a region

[Josephkhland]

I have been wondering if there is a way to count steps while inside a region and have certain events occur once you have walked a specific number of steps inside the region? I also want to turn the step counter at zero if the player leaves the region.

Oh! That's a good idea for a script!

/me follows thread.

 

[Josephkhland]

I take that answer ,as a no. So as it seems I need a script for something like this....

 

[Seriel]

Yes, either that or an insanely complicated Parellel Process.

Edit: Well, with a few variables, and Get Location Info, it could be done.

Sorry bud, but that's a really good idea.

You could ask someone to make you one in the resource request thread...   SCRIPT request thread!   rofl thanks, Jackus.

Do you mean the Script Request Thread?

Uhhhh yeah.  Whoops.  Total potato mode right there.  

Listen to Jackus! He had a full night's sleep no doubt!

Went ahead and edited muh post.

Yes, I did

Okay I will add it to the Script request, since I am planning on having many events occur in a similar way...

 

[Seriel]

In general, Scripts tend to cause less lag than a Parallel Process that does the same thing. (Or maybe i'm making all mine wrong )

 

[Josephkhland]

Well Parallel process is for Background music and Screen effects.. on all other cases it makes the game laggy...(or that is my case at least)

 

[Seriel]

I think it would lag more because the event is always updating, whereas the Script is put into the regular game updating. (Probably..)

Below this in the "Game_Party" script:

def increase_steps @steps += 1you could add this:

if $game_player.region_id == 1      $game_variables[1] +=1    else      $game_variables[1] = 0      end  end

    so variable 1 would get +1 every time you make a step on region 1 and reset when the player leave it. You can assign multiple variables to multiple regions and remove the "else" if you don't want it to reset.

Thanks for helping. 
I will report it closed now. 
I actually requested for a script and it was created.
