@Galv huge fan of your work!

Happy to see that you are already working on MZ! That gives me confidence to buy that Engine faster

This plugin looks super useful.

Awesome work Galv! Thank you!

I definitely want to make that puzzle where you light up the adjacent flames!

I love this, but can you add in the ability to set the Self Switch of an event on a different map?

In case he can't add it... there is a regular script call to change a self switch on another map.

Oh? What's the call?

 

[BrentBAM]

Oh? What's the call?

It is going to be:

$gameSelfSwitches.setValue([mapId, eventID, 'A'], true)

You put the numbers in for MapID and Event ID.

You're a hero! I've been making a puzzle heavy game, and this plugin will be so dang helpful! Thanks for creating and sharing it!

Thanks again for sharing this plugin. I thought I'd let you know that there's an issue when I try to use a script call ( Galv.PUZ.isAt(t,e) ) and don't specifically state the event ( i.e. Galv.PUZ.isAt(0) ). As in, leaving blank for "this event" gives the error "Cannot read property 'x' of undefined. I tried putting " " in that spot, which stopped the error message, but didn't work right (unsurprisingly). I ended up just manually entering all of the event IDs I needed, but I thought I should let you know what's up. Either way, this plugin is awesome, and I'm excited about what I'm able to do with it.

 

[Galv]

Thanks for letting me know, I forgot to update the text from the port.
You'll need to use: this._eventId instead of leaving it blank.
I updated this plugin so the instructions are correct in latest version.

I love those kind of plugins. Something that gives you that extra help while you event.
It doesn't replace eventing or does all the work for you, but instead works hand in hand with it.

Thanks for porting it!

Awesome plugin, this will help a lot.
