Random Encounters

[DarknessFalls]

Ill be simple: If I want mess with how random encounters are done on a map, say adding note tags to a map notes box to create different groups that are then called by a script method, what core classes should I look at?

Depends on what exactly you want to achieve... but I guess look at the _Map classes...

RPG::Map


Game_Map

I want to create groups of random enemies. right now when you set up random encounters. you create one group. lets say map id 5 has 5 enemies you can encounter upon walking every 30 steps. Thats means the core system picks from those 5 enemies, one troop for you to fight.

Thats fine.

I want MULTIPLE groups. I want to add a note tag that is like:

<enemy group 1>troop_id, troop_id</enemy group 1> <enemy group 2>troop_id, troop_id</enemy group 2>

Then you'd have a script call that does something like activate_group(1). This say you could do conditionals to set different groups of "random" enemies for different reasons.

would it still be any _Map Class along with what @Tsukihime stated?

Well you need RPG::Map to handle the note-tags and manage your encounters...

so the correct answer is yes.

There is no correct answer, but there are incorrect answers. There are many ways to do things, so I think it's better to point out things that are wrong instead of trying to suggest you to do things a certain way. Because that is simply restricting innovative thought.

That answer doesn't give me anything to feed my questions hunger. I looked at the RPG::Map and your right I could use it to get the contents of note and encounter_list. with encounter_list I could then set the troop_id of each type of encounters in the note tags.
