Ruby/RGSSx questions that don't deserve their own thread

[Shaz]

No you don't need a script (and if you did, it wouldn't go into the "questions that don't deserve their own thread" thread).


If your final boss is evented, you can do a Continue When Loser, and get the If Win / If Lose options. Choose a variable to count how many times the skill is used, and set it to 0 right before the battle processing call.


On the skill's damage formula, add 1 to the variable if the enemy has the appropriate state.


If you need further help, please start a new thread in the VX Ace Support forum, rather than continuing it here.

Why doesn't a sprite dispose properly when it is disposed after the viewport it was using ?

eg.

# Scene terminate methoddef terminate  super # < calls parent method which disposes viewports  @newsprite.bitmap.dispose  @newsprite.dispose  # ^ dont dispose properlyend
I have literally only realized this... I always thought that disposing a viewport and then the sprites worked fine.

Obviously now I know differently (thanks to a RGSS Player has stopped working error being reported and mithrans GOGR script) but i was just wondering if anyone could explain why this doesnt dispose the sprite properly ?

Probably something really simple I am overlooking p

It always is...

Could someone please refresh my memory, I seem to have forgotten how to detect if an autorun or parallel process event is currently running.

 

[Shaz]

I'm not sure if there IS a way - apart from going through every one of them and checking them individually. Why do you need to check?

 

[??????]

@zal - $game_map.interpreter_running?   ??

Could be wrong - not used normal classes in ages now. Pretty sure thats what the game checks though to see if an event or text is running.

@Shaz: I've programmed a feature for YANTH that plays on the map, and I need to make sure it can't be used during autorun or parallel process events.

@Dekita: Thanks a lot. It's $game_map.interpreter.running?, but that was the solution. Thanks a lot.

No problem

I knew it was something along those lines in the game map class

Also - Whats YANTH ?

Edit: the game 'you Are Not The Hero' ? Isnt that made already ?

Are they revamping it ?

It hasn't been finished yet, it's still in development. We've had a successful kickstarter, but the game itself was never finished, no. I'm the one responsible for fixing errors and adding new things now

Ahhhh I see Congrats

At one point of my game there is going to be a total party change with a separate inventory, this isn't an issue using Fomar0153s' multiple inventories script, But I can't find any information on how to merge the inventories later on, if possible. If someone could help with this I'd be grateful.

Im trying to make a 'marker' which does what it says, marks things. The problem is that I cant place more than 1 marker. Is there a way to duplicate events like this so you could have... lets say as many markers as you need?

I don't know if this is the right place for this.

Please start a NEW thread in RGSSx Script Support, providing a link to the script. This thread is not for custom script support, nor is the question one that doesn't deserve its own thread.


Mirpono, you need a spawn script. I'm aware of a few that exist, but I'm not sure if any/many of them will save the new event. Take a look through the Master Script List, and if you can't find one, start a new thread in RGSS3 Script Requests. Make sure you state whether you want the events to remain there after you leave the map and return. If you actually want to place items from your inventory onto the map, Tsukihime has a script for that (but I don't recall the name).

I don't know if this is the right place for this.

Yanfly creates events from existing events: http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/utility-scripts/spawn-event/


For dropping items on to the map there's this old script: http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/4179-map-drops/


There are many scripts that do similar things but none come to mind.

Hello, I have a small doubt, I installed Victor animated battle and Victor Damage pop up script, in tandem with MOG Battle HUD, for some reason, the damage is showed of this way

As you can see, the damage is showed in the upper left part, which it's not right, and considering both are made by the same scripter, it must be a simple solution, also, this is the script order I have, just in case is something related to the script order

How can I solve this? thanks

How do I transform something like [1..4, 7..10] into [1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10]?
It seems ary.sample only works with "proper" arrays, but I'm too lazy to manually type each element separately every single time I need a random number...

In Liak's post here: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/19178-the-characters-dont-move-offscreen/?p=183974...
Where it says:

# Put [update] in the event's name and the move route will always update.Does that mean replace the entire event name with that or just start it with that?
 
Also, should I put this down under "Materials" with other custom scripts or modify the actual "Game Events" one in "Game Objects"? I'm assuming in "Materials" but I want to be sure.

*EDIT*

Sorry, this is the full script as he posted it:
 

# Put [update] in the event's name and the move route will always update.## ~Kreadclass Game_Event < Game_Character #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Determine if Near Visible Area of Screen #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias_methodkrx_alfix_ge_nts?, :near_the_screen?) def near_the_screen?(dx = 12, dy = 8) # YEA compatibility if $imported && $imported["YEA-CoreEngine"] dx = dy = nil end # YEA compatibility return true if @event.name.include?('[update]') return krx_alfix_ge_nts?(dx, dy) endendI messaged him to ask, but he hasn't been online since March so who knows when he will get it.

*EDIT again*

I just checked his profile a second time and now it says he was online yesterday. Wonder why it said March 12th last time I checked?

 

[Mihel]

@Cadh2000 Just paste it in the event name, it makes no difference. It is better if you put the script in its own slot, never edit default scripts.

 

[Cadh20000]

Thanks!

One more question... should it be

[update]

or just

update

 

[Mihel]

With brackets. Usually you have to put everything that's within quotation marks.

 

[Cadh20000]

Okay, thank you. This is literally my first project using scripts so I'm not sure of ANYTHING with them. I don't want to make a mess and have to try and figure out what I did wrong later.
