Image for current event

[Voidus]

Hi all,

New to javascript and RMMV, I've been trying to get the current image for the event to use for messageboxes, etc.
I think there's some kind of scoping issue where the script is run from the interpreter not events but I cannot for the life of me get this to work.


this.image was my first guess, but then hit the scoping issue, so tried using the event-id but I keep getting undefined functions and being unable to get properties so guessing I'm still going wrong somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.
 


EDIT: Resolved, was using all pages rather than one from the array, fixed now.

I hope you have fun using RPM maker! 


Also, you can look up questions on the forum, because often they 


have been already asked. You can also see things about how to


change the game's fount etc.


If you need help with plot development, there are a ton of resorces!


Have fun!

Thanks, yeah I took a look around and couldn't see anything on the subject, but my searching skills are a bit rusty so might have missed something.
 


I have actually just hit another bump in the same coding issue, I got the image getting imported properly now but now when I try to set the image it's not working, seems to briefly flicker when the even is activated, I'm guessing there's something else that keeps defaulting the image to the default one set in the events page.

For reference what I ended up with:
To get the current image and use for message box:


var page = $dataMap.events[this._eventId].pages[0];


var image = page.image;


$gameMessage.setFaceImage(image.characterName, image.characterIndex);


$gameMessage.add("hi");


And to set the image:


var page = $dataMap.events[3].pages[0];


var image = page.image;


image.characterName = $gameVariables.value(11);


image.characterIndex = $gameVariables.value(12);


setImage is showing an undefined function, but looking at the function all it really does is the same thing, update the characterName & Index


Previously I was using the setMoveRoute > Change image option which was working but I'd rather have a more generic solution to save some time.
