Auto Common Events MZ
RPG Maker MZ Plugin
Galv​

Introduction
Just a simple plugin to allow more functionality during the game after certain processes.


Features
This plugin allows you to automatically run common events at certain parts of the game process. These are currently:
– after player loads a saved file
– after player saves their game
– when the player transfers to a map
– every time the map scene opens (eg. after returning from the menu or other scene to the map)
– every time the battle scene starts
– entering a vehicle
– exiting a vehicle
– when a game over occurs
– when timer ends

Note: These common events run after any currently active event has finished processing it's commands.

Plugin commands let you specify the common event id's for each. Script calls allow for changing them during game.


How to Use
- Copy the "GALV_AutoCommonEventsMZ.js" file into your project's /js/plugins/ folder.
- Activate plugin using the 'Plugin Manager'
- Read the 'HELP' documentation (also found in plugin manager) for more details and try the demo if you don't understand.

Updated (version 1.1) to include entering/exiting vehicles. I thought that might be useful functionality.

Did this plugin allow to start a common even when a new game is started?

 

[Galv]

You can run a common event from an autorun event on the starting map.

i think we don't need that feature in this plugin since we can just add autorun event on the first map.

edit: ouch ninja'd by Galv
nice plugin btw .

btw i think you need to add before GameOver common event

Of course we can do that. But's I just find that ugly this way. I like the code to be really easy to read.
For me a common even with autostart on a map is less pretty then a common event.

I have updated this to 1.2 to include game over common event now.

Updated to 1.3 to add timer end common event. This overrides the default auto-end battle when timer ends in battle if it is used.

Hey, I have been using OcRam_Layers to do a simple animated parallax, but I notice when I open the menu then exit that the animation stops. Is this because GALV_AutoCommonEventsMZ is not triggering an event on menu exit, or is it something with OcRam_Layers?

 

[Galv]

Might be compatibility issue. Did you try putting this plugin below the other one?

Is the script order wrong? The parallax animates until I open the menu and then close it, it doesn't continue after closing the menu. After some toggling, I have noticed if I have "Map Load Common Event" Seems like this common event isn't working right... If I disable it with a 0 I can open and close the menu and nothing happens... (map is still is animated)

[Powell]

Yeah, I moved it in front and behind...

If Map Load Common Event is "1" then the animation stops on menu exit, if it's set to "0" it does not... More investigation causes the animation to stop after saving but opening the menu fixes this... loading the game works normally...

 

[Galv]

I don't know why running a common event would stop the OcRam_Layers plugin from animating. It doesn't sound like they should interfere with each other at all.
What is in the common event you are running?

Just one command, "Plugin command: OcRam_Layers, Template Layer and I have noticed that both Map Start and Map Load have issues...

 

[Galv]

Without building a demo project with both plugins and testing (which I don't have time for unfortunately), I don't know why the other plugin isn't working, sorry.

It's fine, I was testing to see if I could animate a parallax and separate it on the map through regions and/or terrain tags using OcRam_Layers and Visual Parallaxes VisuStella MZ, even though the test failed it showed that it could work that's when I noticed the animation stopping when I opened the menu... Now I know that it will work, I guess I will need a custom script for that.
