Wouldn't you expect doors to always be in the same place?


I get what you mean ... you want the door to be closed when you return to the map.


You can either change the door events to close after you go through them but before you transfer to the new map, not save the direction of an event as part of your data, or add a comment to the event and cater for that comment in the script, to not save the direction for certain events. Maybe use the name of the event - give all doors the name DOOR, and in your script don't save the direction if the event's name is DOOR.


There's really not any way to change the script without changing all the events you want to behave a little differently, as the script won't know which ones need to have different behaviour. Maybe you could check the event's character_name to see if it contains the word Door - that would get you out of having to modify all those events, but it's still prone to error.

Fabian gets different errors with his same script (He made it) but I don't get these errors, I have yet to try the door thing, but I checked something else he reported (Changing a map anywhere in the game(in the editor) in any way reset the event positions) and it didn't get that error. Maybe it's just his particular PC? He does find strange errors that don't occur on my pc. XP And yes that's what I meant, the door stays there, but the animation stays where it was and won't allow you to enter if you leave the map and come back.

Making all the doors named Door seems to be a far better idea actually, if that actually works I'll add that to the script and call it done. (I don't have fancy door stuff like automated/sliding doors or locked doors that need keys in my game)

Is there a way to reset an event entirely? EX: If Event Name "Door" = true then Reset Event on map load  ? (don't know how to set that up in Ruby script )  

Doors don't actually move, but the animation does, so yeah that is what I meant. XP this is what I get for typing at 2 AM xD 

He also said something about the door not letting you 'enter' (and teleport to the new place) but as I've said I haven't tested that for myself yet.

I usually have an idea of how I want something to work, but I don't know anything about scripting; I took a visual basic class a while back but that was like 3 years ago. XP

Everything else seems to work fine though, even autorun events that are already done. :3 

It could be the way he's programming his door events and not the script though, that also seems to be a possibility.

When you change the map, save it and play, even if you're still on that map in your save file, the Game_Map.setup method will be run. It's because you made a change to the map.

See this code?

#save additional event datamapEvents.each_value do |event| currentMap[event.id] = event.getData()endChange it to this:

#save additional event datamapEvents.each_value do |event|  currentMap[event.id] = event.getData() unless event.name =~ /door/iend

If it crashes saying it doesn't know what 'name' means, add this in a new script slot (or at the top of his script):

class Game_Event < Game_Character  attr_reader   :nameend

Script has been updated, and all bugs have been fixed, also I take no credit for this script; I only posted it here with permission because Darkshadow44 made it for my project and his and thought it would be useful compared to the other scripts of this kind.
