# ║ This script changes how the "Boat" vehicle functions. By default, the     ║

# ║ to travel over any terrain that the player can (at a faster speed and     ║
# ║ without encounters), and blocks it from traveling over water or           ║
# ║ activating touch and confirm event processes.                             ║

but when I run the game I get the error:

Spript 'Land vehicle script' line 88: NameError occured.

Uninicialized constant Object::Game_Character

I'm guessing this is something easy to fix, since others have gotten it working fine, but I'm still learning how to use script in VXA...

 

[Andar]

The best solution would be to use a script for VX Ace, not one for VX, as they have a different engine.


If the given dates inside the script are correct, that script can't have been written for use in Ace as even the japanese Ace was published Dez 2011 and that script claimed to have been finished in Jan 2012...

 

[Ashton]

The script claims to be for Ace:

If there's another one, please share

 

[Andar]

then the script contains a wrong date - perhaps a typo.


In that case, did you start a new game after installing that script?


Initialization errors usually happen when you load a savegame from before the script was added.


Or it could be a script conflict - did you use any other script in your project?

Never got to the point of starting a new game, I clicked the play test button and got a small black screen with a popup error atop it.

I'm using the tankentai abs script/system (it's placed under the code for the land vehicles in the script window)

 

[Ashton]

Just an update for anyone reading this - I found my error and it's working perfectly now. I was using the script files from my battle system, which were in japanese, and I didnt know there *were* specific areas like "main" and "materials" because they were written in Kanji/kakanna. After looking through the script files from the demo for this code, I saw where they were >.<

Ashton, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.


Also, don't post scripts in your post unless they're not available anywhere else. Just put a link to where you downloaded it from.
