Modified Map Name Display

[LordBezoar]

For the fire once thing, I'm not sure how to do it really, but you could have it listen for a script call in the transfer event. Something like MapName.show, for example

Then, you just have to drop this call in the transfer events that take the player into the city/town/whatever from the overworld--or anywhere else you want it to fire. Not the most elegant solution, I think, but it could be helpful.

I'm working on modifying this script and trying to add more functions:

add a swtich which controls when to display it;

display once in same map

As a newbie to script, I will do my best!

Forgive me for keeping you waiting...

You don't need to make a switch.

You can just use a default Script Call.

Turn off Map display.

$game_map.name_display = false
and

Turn On Map display.

$game_map.name_display = true
I just tried with your script and it works.

You can also make 2 common events with these script calls.

one to enable, and one to disable.

I'm a nub. Can I put the map display back in the upper left corner and not in the middle? Or would that defeat the entire purpose of your script? I like the style, look, fade-in, fade-out but more off to the side. I see there's a "set the window in the middle of the screen" section here, but not sure what do edit in or out.

Here you go.

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

You don't need to make a switch.

You can just use a default Script call

If I understand correctly, one of these calls would have to go into each and every transfer event that enters the map(s) in question. Am I correct in that understanding?

Yes, If you want the map name to appear when you go outside into town or something, you would turn it on right before the transfer.

Same goes for turning it off if you don't want the map names to appear indoors.

Hello everyone, I am very new to RMVX Ace and to Ruby. This script works very well for what I need and I was able to tweak it in most areas. I was wondering if there is a way I could add a line of code so when the @ is not there to separate the two lines the ~ will not show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi,


I know I'm late but I used this script and it has worked successfully. But now it won't even display the map display names. I made sure the map display format was correct. For example my map name is:  The City of Tranquil@Deliver. I followed the steps correctly. I just want to know what's going on. I've been trying to fix it for 3 hours.

You can give me a screen shot of how it displayed incorrectly so I can see what's wrong.

 

[DerKIAS]

Hey there! The demo seems to be broken...? Also I somehow cant get the script to work. I followed all the steps but it doesnt show any of the mapnames.. maybe you could upload a new demo so I can figure out what im doing wrong?
