Introduction
Based on Tsukihime's Reverence Events for Ace. This plugin will assign an event as a reference for other events. Mostly useful if you have plenty of events which do the same thing (i.e. trigger a battle of same troop ID). Any change you make to the reference event will cause another event to change. This is a better method than copy-paste to overwrite the whole events.

Features
- Save your precious time (probably)

How to Use
Put inside the plugin folder of your project. Inside the note box of the event, please write:

<ref_event:EVENT_ID, MAP_ID>where EVENT_ID is your reference event's ID and MAP_ID is the ID of the map of the reference event
If you don't specify MAP_ID, this plugin will assume that the reference event is on the same map.

Author's Notes
My first ever JS script. Took me two days to learn the syntax (started from learning the facts that Java and Javascript are actually different things, lol). I miss VX Ace built-in script editor already. Editing the script on different software is a new thing for me (so as unable to use the mighty ctrl + shift +f).
Enough blabbering. I hope you could find this simple plugin helpful for your project.

Is there any chance of getting documentation included inside the .js file? It comes up blank on the plugin manager.

 

[Roguedeus]

I've been bugging Hime to convert Reference Events for MV and this may just be a suitable alternative!

However, I am curious. Would it be to much to request an option that allows the specification of the map_id & event_id of the copied event? This way we can reference events from multiple maps. (Or just reference same map events for convenience)

Thanks for your time!

roguedeus: It's possible. I remake this script because on my previous project, I collected all my reference event on a single map. That's why I modified this plugin based on my preference.

I will update this plugin so the user could also set the map ID for reference map.

Silent Darkness: what documentation? I think I have written some instruction how to use this script inside the js file.

 

[Silent Darkness]

Oh. Nevermind.

That's weird, a previous version of this script I downloaded didn't have functioning help.

It works fine now.

Thanks I appreciate that. That sort of thing would be really helpful.

Your latest update does copy an event just fine, but the copied event doesn't appear to retain all the pages of the original.

This is a visible encounter reference event:



After WIN, the event never triggers its next page. As if it doesn't have one.

@roguedeus

Weird. I've checked it with multiple pages and worked fine.

I'll take a look again after my daytime job.

I'll verify it in a clean demo (and share it) so you'll have to do less legwork.
