Getting Events' Coordinates

[Erangot]

Hi there, how do I get an event's x and y coordinates?

For the player's position I type "$game_player.x" or "$game_player.y" in the event's script.

But how can I get an event's coordinates where I put the script into?

----
Sorry for the trouble, I'm very much inexperienced with scripting. Thanks in advance.

 

[nio kasgami]

for the event position 

$game_event.event.x$game_event.event.y(if I remember I don't know gemini just crash in front of me lol...when I was doing search X_X )

Params means these are the parameters in the arguments that you need to fill up, if you're talking about the params in events.

buts I am always curious why exemple for  the comment

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Comment #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def command_108 @comments = [@params[0]] while next_event_code == 408 @index += 1 @comments.push(@list[@index].parameters[0]) end endthey use @params when actually this not really "params" UNLESS this not wield the same signification of parameter in french :/

Actually Nio I think it's:

$game_map.events[ID].x$game_map.events[ID].yBut I'm also not completely sure, too lazy to run vxa to check lol

 

[nio kasgami]

$game_map.events[ID].x$game_map.events[ID].yBut I'm also not completely sure, too lazy to run vxa to check lol

it's vx not vxace Quasi : D

Ahh thanks Quasi it's working for me ;w; All I need to know now is how I'm going to get the coordinates of the "this event", or the event I placed the script into.

then you replace id by the id of the event and you will obtain "this event"

Comments though, is done like this in VX:

class Game_Event < Game_Character #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Set Event Location #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def command_108 character = get_character(@params[0]) if character != nil if @params[1] == 0 # Direct designation character.moveto(@params[2], @params[3]) # event x and event y elsif @params[1] == 1 # Designation with variables new_x = $game_variables[@params[2]] # variable number new_y = $game_variables[@params[3]] # variable number character.moveto(new_x, new_y) else # Exchange with another event old_x = character.x old_y = character.y character2 = get_character(@params[2]) if character2 != nil character.moveto(character2.x, character2.y) character2.moveto(old_x, old_y) # from its old value end end case @params[4] # Direction when 8 # Up character.turn_up when 6 # Right character.turn_right when 2 # Down character.turn_down when 4 # Left character.turn_left end end return true endendSo whenever comments or any other params are involved, mostly they are taken from what they are, like this:

$game_map.events[ID].x$game_map.events[ID].ytechnically, ID is a param.

You can obtain the ID of "this event" by using  @event_id  instead of a static number.

As an alternative, you can use  get_character(0)  instead of  $game_map.events[@event_id]  too.

(The only difference is that if the event execution continues after you changed the map, the former will return  nil  while the latter will return the event of the new map with the specified ID.)

Script commands used in move routes are executed in a different context though, neither  get_character(...)  nor  @event_id   will work there, but you can simply use  self  to access the moving character.

You are an angel It's working perfectly now ;w; $game_map.events.... or get_character works fine, whichever of the two that I have used. : D

Thanks so much! The reason is that my events are cloned from another map and the player chooses where he/she will till the soil, so I couldnt manage to use a static number to set where the event should be placed. Here's how it looks like as of now.

Thanks again .. I guess I wouldn't need to ask regarding the tile_id any longer. And and thanks to Milena for the info regarding params : )
