/* Version: 1.00
* This plugin allows you to create a social system in-game.
* It stores the information on contacts on a map, and generates
* a list of contacts / people.
*
* Notetags:
* <contact: description >
* Designates an event as a contact, and a description for that contact.

Wow.. 


Maybe, it can be implemented in my project..


Thank you for making this plugin.. ? ?

This is really well done and really dynamic, you could use it as a phone, a diary or even a journal. I think we don't re-visit NPC's enough in RPGs, I wish more had this function so we remember the awesome conversations and quests we help them with! 


EDIT: I have a question though... How do we actually get to the Scene? I can't find anything in the plugin description about it... I might be overlooking something but you show screenshots of the Contact Window, and I really wanna use a contact window.


Edit: It's been cleared up in the OP

 

[Kino]

Sorry about that, yes there is a method for going to the scene!



KR.Helpers.startSocialSystemScene()


This will start the scene; I'll update the original post to reflect this.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Kloe]

Nah, no problem, thank you for the quick reply! 

 

[Kino]

Just trying to help.
Also, I just updated the file, so now it should work perfectly!

Neat plugin, but I'm having trouble getting it to actually work. 'KR.Helpers.setContactDescription(contactId, description)', for instance, doesn't give any indication on what to input in 'contactId' or 'description'. The description of what the script call does, 'Update/change the contact description you entered.' does not explain or elaborate on how it makes the change, or how to write it in such a way that an error doesn't happen.
For instance, I want the contact 'Ralph, Local Hero' to initially read as '???, Unknown' Since having ??? for every event would make everything confusing, my solution thus far was to change every Contact to '???, Unknown' by doing: 'KR.Helpers.setContactDescription(???, Unknown)' on the event in question. (This is just through experimentation with the plugin, maybe I'm missing something obvious, maybe since I lack most knowledge regarding JavaScript, I'm incapable of actually using the plugin, which if in that case, severely limits the usability of the plugin to those with some degree of JS knowledge.)
Maybe some in-depth description and examples of how to use the script calls in the plugin's help section would be a good addition, maybe a demo showing multiple uses for each script call would work, because given my rate of 'how do I make this thing work, oops, I broke it', I'm only going to be coming back multiple times asking what do. And I don't want to take up more of your time than is absolutely necessary.

Sorry, but I'm not working on most scripts anymore; moving on to newer projects.

@Kino Can it be used as a Pokenav (Pokemon series), they are chiefly useful for Trainers to contact and re-battle other Trainers.

Sorry, but I'm not working on most scripts anymore; moving on to newer projects.

Then could you perhaps make it known in the original post that this plugin will not have further support?

 

[xabileug]

does anybody else use this script? i think there's a bug where a window flashes when you call the scene. the map name is not displayed also in the first two windows.

What is the command to add contacts? because it adds it automatically and I would like you to add it if (for example) I interact with someone
