Near Fantastica's Path Finder v1 for RPG Maker VX Ace

[Shadowfiend]

I feel really stupid for asking this, since I can't find the answer anywhere, but what exactly do you do for this script. I have it in the Material thing, but I don't know what to put in for the Script event. I am completely new to Scripts and trying to learn how to use them, so please have patients if your going to help me. Thank you.

I'm assuming that because it's a pathfinding script, you just make those script calls (eg: event script call) under the instructions and it will automatically find a path to that specified coordinates.

If the Event location for the Script is (014,019) and (001,001) is where I want the Event at (014,019) and my character (015,020) to go, what would I put in the Script box under the Event things? I am sorry, but I still don't know what a Script call is, is it were the Event that is using the Script is?

Edit: I also forgot to mention, just in case it matters, but (001,001) is at a Transfer Point.

 

[Tsukihime]

Script call = "Script..." event command

Just have your event make the call

$game_player.find_path(15, 20)

And your player should move to (15, 20) automatically.

Thanks, I'll test it out.

Edit: It works!! Thank You So Much!! Now only thing left is to find out why it won't transfer since the location I want the character to go to is a Transfer point (like I said before) but that could be solved with something like when the character reaches the point it will auto transfer from the event with the Script in it. Also how do I get the event it's self to move using the same Script?

 

[Tsukihime]

1: set move route

2: "this event"

3: call script: find_path(x, y)

Edit: It works!! Thank You So Much!! Now only thing left is to find out why it won't transfer since the location I want the character to go to is a Transfer point

Player touch?

 

[Shadowfiend]

I just did the Quick Transfer option, so I think it is player touch, but my Character would just keep walking over it, also is there a way to prevent the game its self from going slow, or is that normal? Also, I got the event to move, but it is slower than the Character, is there a way to fix that?

I'll keep working on it right now, in case I find something that works (that I know how to use).

Edit: Alright the Event speed is no longer an issue, but since the Character goes up stairs and it looks like this almost.

|_| And the _ is one tile, when the Event goes up the stairs, the Character waits until the stairs are completely open to continue from

|_| where he left off at.

|_|

Edit: Ok, so the game speed seems to go good and bad and when it is bad then the staircase issue occurs. Also, the Event stops 2 tiles in front of the transfer point, I tried to change the location of the Script path's end point, but the Event still stops.

Edit: Never mind I got it all to work, Thank You So Much!!!! Also I appreciate it that you were able to help me.

Is there a way to use variables to get the event to go to somewhere that might change? Like if I wanted it to chase the player?

Is there a way to use variables to get the event to go to somewhere that might change? Like if I wanted it to chase the player?

I'd like to know this as well, since I want to make events chase the player around obstacles like walls and tables. Is this possible using this script?

 

[VideoWizard]

I suppose you can set X and Y equal to the player's X and Y with two variables, and have it change when the player moves.

Set variable 21 to the player's X coordinate, and variable 22 to the player's Y coordinate. (or any two numbers, those are just an example)

I'm not certain the snippet below works, but it should be this general idea.

$game_player.find_path($game_variables[21], $game_variables[22])

Event Script Call: self.event.find_path(x, y)Event Movement Script Call: self.find_path(x, y)What is the difference between those two?, I want to use this with an autorun to move another event in a cutscene and I haven't figured out how

Wow, what a necropost I'm performing here but:

You would perform the first call through an Event Command. The other would be through a Move Route.
