Encounter Indicator

[Roninator2]

Can anyone suggest a way to fix an issue I'm having?


I have Racheal's Encounter Pointer script, which is awesome. (Restaff February 2014)

What happens is that when I go into an area that is with a shade, the encounter pointer is layered under the shade, thus making it hard to see.

I have swapped over to Khas Awesome Light (the old one) and the same results happen. I think I need to add in a viewport.z option in Racheal's script to make the pictures shown be on top of the shade layer. But I don't know enough about ruby to even try that.

 

[Roninator2]

Bump

 

[Sixth]

Search for this line in that encounter indicator script:

@encounter_sprite = Sprite_Encounter.new(@viewport2)

Change that to this:

@encounter_sprite = Sprite_Encounter.new(@viewport3)

If this still doesn't work, add a new line just below the one you modified:

@encounter_sprite.z = 500

This should place it above the shadow tint layer.

It was a good while ago since I checked Khas' lighting script, so if it uses a separate viewport for the shadow tint layer, you might need some other modifications to show the indicator above the shadow layer (such as assigning the same viewport to both of them and setting the Z value of the indicator higher than the shadow layer's Z value).

 

[Roninator2]

Thanks @Sixth , I'm glad you can provide help for the code.
I was able to play with what you provided and I got it to work with
@encounter_sprite = Sprite_Encounter.new(@viewport4)
@encounter_sprite.z = 500

Viewport 3 did not work for me. But if had the .z at 5000 then viewport 3 worked (if I remember now - it was a blur of testing options)

Since this is resolved can you provide the same input of where to add in a line or what to modify for the minimap I have. (it's the only one I could get working with my game - all other had issues) - that is to make it above the shade.

#_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
# This script is plug-and-play, but various customization options are available.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Map Notetags
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Notetags are added to "Notes" boxes. Right-click a map and select
# Map Properties to find the "Notes" box for maps.
#
# <minimap hide>
#   Completely disables the minimap on a specific map. [NOMAP] can also be
#   added to the beginning of map names for the same effect.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Event Comment Tags
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Since events do not have noteboxes, comment tags are used instead. Open the
# event, create a new event command, go to Tab 1, and click the "Comment..."
# event command. A box will open up allowing you to enter tags.
#
# <minimap wall>
#   Add this tag to an event's comment to change its minimap color to the
#   same as an impassable tile.
#
# <minimap move>
#   Add this tag to an event's comment to have them blink in the minimap.
#
# <minimap obj n>
#   Add this tag to an event's comment to have them blink in the minimap with
#   a specified color where n is the OBJ value defined in OBJECT_COLOR which
#   is found in the customization module below.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Script Calls
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Script calls are used in "Script..." event commands located under Tab 3.
#
# hide_minimap
#   Use this script call to hide the minimap on command.
#
# show_minimap
#   Use this script call to show the minimap on command.
#
# refresh_minimap
#   Use this script call to refresh the minimap.
#
# update_minimap_object
#   Use this script call to refresh objects on the minimap such as events.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Script Calls : Conditional Branches
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The following script calls can be used in Conditional Branches.
#
# minimap_showing?
#   Determines if the minimap is currently showing/hidden.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   Usage Notes
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Impassable events will not appear as the correct color in the minimap.
# This effect is intended. If you want an event to appear as impassable
# on the minimap, add the tag <minimap wall> to an event's comment.

There is a setting named MAP_Z in that script.
Set that to something higher. You can use any values here, so 5000 is fine if it works (although lower should work here, because the mini-map uses it's own viewport).
You only need to concern yourself about too high Z values if you need to put the image(s) below something, so don't worry about it.

There is no @viewport4 defined by default, so the image now works as if it would have it's own viewport.
If @viewport3 worked with a higher Z value, than means that the shadow layer is set to use @viewport3 as well. The Z value of @viewport3 is set to 100 by default, if I remember right.
For future reference, if needed.

So Simple... I had it at 120 for map_z but it was under the shade. So maybe the shade is around 200?

All working. Thank you very much.
