Region Events

[Tsukihime]

This script allows you to create “Region Events”. Basically, it allows you to turn an entire region into an event based on an existing event on your map.


For example, suppose you have some Region 1 tiles. Using this script, you can connect Region 1 to an event on the map. The result is called “Region Event 1″, and when you activate Region Event 1, it will run the event it is connected to.


Region events obey all event rules. They do not have a graphic, because they are simply regions on your map. Region events are useful when you want multiple tiles to all run the same event.


Get it at Hime Works!

Handy. There was a script that I saw awhile back that did something similar to this. In fact, now that I think about it, there are a lot of region-based scripts if you think about it. Well, this is the most simpler to use

This is insane for making cutscene triggers!

So you basically have to make one Event and not two or more if your zone is greater then 1 Tile. Well, thank you, this is really awesome! ^^

This is really nice, Hime! Now I can get rid of all those duplicate events I have spread around~

I just ran across a script that breaks the limits of the regions. Will your Region Events work with it? By the way here is that script.

It should. My script doesn't cache map regions, so everytime you check a tile, it will perform an extra check to see if there are any region events there based on region ID.


Would be a different story if I assumed regions don't change, but I decided that was a bad assumption.


EDIT: I just tested it and it works.
