Sprite Reflection

[OrangeSage]

Btw this script is not compatible with Victor Sant's: Pixel Movement script. It will run but the reflection won't show up correctly.

Yeah im not using the Victor Sant's Pixel Movement script, or anything that the script would collide with... To be quite honest I'm rather stuck lol.

I have a few questions because I am interested in using this script.

1. Does this script work when in vehicles over water?
   
2. Does it reflect in windows and other glass?
   
3. Can i make events such as on screen enemies and objects have reflections too?
   
4. Is this compatible with any of the lighting scripts?
   
5. Is it at all mode 7 compatible?
   
6. Will it work on Parallax Maps?

So I was looking through your script, and I am very confused about several things in your Sprite_Character_Reflection class. You have method definitions for update and dispose that do nothing but call super. Wouldn't that just be incredibly inefficient by just adding another message send into the method?

A quick answer to your questions would be:

1. Yes.

2. No.

3. Yes.

4. Not sure, although I have seen a couple of posts from people regarding compatibility problems with other lighting scripts.

5. Not sure.

6. Not sure.

Sorry I'm not much help, I'm a bit of a noob with Ruby and RPG Maker VX Ace

Nice you had some of the naswers. Maybe the others could be features in future versions!

Is this script compatible with pixel movement made by khas?

I'm using pixel movement and the reflection sprite shows up right after when i'm near the water.

Here's the screenshot:

I'm getting a "Line 344 TypeError, nil can't be coerced into Fixnum" sort of error. I wonder what's the problem...

Cool script but....

How can I make it so that the sprites reflection in underneath the other events/vehicles?

Why is does the sprite reflection face the wrong way when facing left or right?


Could I make the vehicles display there reflection also? I thought I could but I don't know how.

Also I was wondering if there could be an update in the future that would check different directions (not just down) and be able to reflect the sprite in other directions based on that direction.
(eg. Mirror on wall = sprite reflection would be upward, facing up would show the front, down shows the back, etc.).

Thanks for such a nice script. BD

Hey TDS, that's an awesome script and very easy to use! Kuddos!
If you can listen to my problem.  I'm trying to use the script to make mirror tiles (by using glass/ice tiles).
The problem is that your script is made for water reflection and will only reflect the character from the lower tiles,

while I need it to reflect the character from tiles "above" the character. I' ll include a photo explaining. Could you tell me how to alter the script to manage this or perhaps update the script??? Thanks!

I'd say this is a very nice script. But my main concern is the script's terms of use, particularly on this part:

Do not release, distribute, edit or change my work without my expressed written consent, doing so violates the terms of use of this work.

I'm using your script here, and it gives double shadows, conflicting with my other script, as depicted below:

Spoiler

The problem probably located on your script here, and I wish to edit it (at least by giving it a seperate patch). I'm afraid of other possible bugs that results from my own made scripts, as well.

So may I (or we) edit your script, explicitly or implicitly? I do see this thread isn't receiving any response from you for a pretty long time, TDS. I hope you can respond. Thanks.

There's problem with this script: Reflections aren't affected by screen tint, so on dark maps it looks weird. Can you fix that?

Yes, I registered here just to say this.

Also: Feature request: Can you add boolean constant that when true would instead of turning on reflections for events with [Reflect] in their name will turn OFF collisions for events with [NotReflect] in their name? This will help to integrate this script in already developed projects with lots of town events (usually you want to make those reflected by default). Even in your own demo game it would make more sense to name ghost [NotReflect] Ghost than name other folks [Reflect](something).

I can do this modification on my own ("[NotReflect]" thing, not fixing issue with screen tint - latter is outside of my ability scope), problem is do I have your permission to do so?

//edit: Typos. Sorry 'bout that

//edit #2: Example of error I'm talking about:

Spoiler

Also other feature request: Could you make it so we could set tiles with specified terrain tag to be reflected like events? For tiles like benches, lamps or trees that sort of thing makes sense.

I'm getting a "Line 344 TypeError, nil can't be coerced into Fixnum" sort of error. I wonder what's the problem...

I got this too, and it seemed to happen when I tried loading a game that was saved before using this script. In other words, I started again and it worked fine.

And I know TDS hasn't responded in a while, but is there a way to offset the reflection for one specific event. I have a swan swimming around in a river and the reflection is about a whole tile below it. If I change the offset on the notes then the reflections for all the characters wont look right. I just want to move the reflection up so it's right under the swan.

Also, is there a way to set the reflections priority so that things like toadstools and those little wooden walkways don't have the reflection on them?

Cheers!

SO COOL!

 

[CyberAngel08]

I've tried (and worked) the script and LOVE it so much!

But question: do the reflections only work on the North of the water form and not in any other side (East, West, South)?

 

[I tried]

Hello, I really wish to use this, but no one has been clear on how I actually use it

I don't even know where or how to put this into the project to make it work, please guide me through

 

[Shaz]

The instructions on how to use are in the script header.  You need to read the comments there to see how to set it up.

As for how to even add the script to your project, please follow the link in my signature to the beginners' scripting guide.

I downloaded the script but the reflection shows on top of any pictures I display. How can i fix this?

 

[NightHerald]

Um... I know this is very old, but I was wondering if it's possible to adjust the y positions of individual events (not of the water tiles themselves).


You can see my problem in this screenshot:

Spoiler

The character sprites are okay, but the ducks and the fountains, which are directly on the water, have too big a space between the event and it's reflection.


Also, the player sprite's reflection shows up even though the fountain should block it, or be on top of it.


Is there any way to fix this?


And thank you so much for making this, it gives great aesthetic appeal. <3
