How can I transfer player within the same without reloading it?

[masterlobo]

Hello,

I need to move the player from location within the map. Moving is too slow, even at max speed.

Transfer player with fade none works wonders, however it reloads everything on the map and therefore it looks clunky.

In other words, what I need, is Set Event Location but for the player.

Can such a thing be done?

$gamePlayer.locate(newx, newy);

If you have followers too, about a week ago we buffered out a simple seamless transition event where the followers keep the same position instead of going under you in the same space. https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/seamless-transferss-w-followers.74315/

The only thing that made me think of this is that you don't want the transition, so I suspect the sudden re-position is meant to be inconspicuous.

It read to me like he was fine with the transition but just didn't want all the events on the map to reset. That is a cool effect, though.

I thought reloading the map only happened if you went to a new map. That's the way it worked in every previous version of the engine, and MV is pretty must just Ace in another language as far as the scripts go.

That's what I thought too Shaz, but I assumed I was mistaken when he said the events reloaded when he did a transition on the same map. Guess I should have tested it first.

Edit: Can confirm events don't reload if you're teleporting on the same map.

Nice. Saves me having to look it up

So then, @masterlobo - what do you mean by "it reloads everything on the map and therefore it looks clunky"? Because it doesn't reload anything. Unless you've got a plugin that causes it.

Sorry, finally had time to reply.

So, I did verify that events do not reload, the clunkiness is because the parallax (if set to move) resets its movement. When the parallax restarts its movement, it looks clunky and as if the map reloaded.

Is there a way around that?

The problem is that Game_Map's parallaxX is set to the value of _displayX as part of setting the display position, which will happen if you teleport. You could add a "preserve parallax" flag that gets turned on/off when you need to keep it in the same position, then have an if statement that only sets it if the flag is off.
