Hello there!

I have been trying to find a plugin that allows me to create scenarios where there is a guard patrolling an area and you have to sneak in order to prevent a fight or a game over.

I know what you are thinking, there's a couple (Or more) plugins about this, BUT...

These plugins are very limited. I've tried using Yanfly's Event Chase Player and Galv's Event Detectors, however I'm not accomplishing what I want, which is:

i.e Setting a patrol route for a guard, if he spots you, he will chase you and as soon as he collides with you, a battle starts.

It seems that I can only use these detection systems with an idle character :(

The red underlined parts are the ones I've been able to accomplish, however I can't set a patrolling route that will eventually lead to a chase (if you get into their line of sight). It seems that it's just not compatible with the plugins.

Is there any other stealth/detection system out there that can help me achieve what I want for my game? Or is it possible to do what I want with those plugins aforementioned?

I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

I fiddled around a lot with both of these, gotta say Yanfly's is better for the normal on contact encounter/trigger event type of scenarios, as its pathfinding to go back to their position/patrol is better.

Yanfly works perfectly well with patrolling->spotted->chase->on contact: battle; else->back to position i've done several tests with idle and patrolling npcs.

Galv's can be achieved with a parallel "checker" (he provides the if: event x sees player= true on his calls) which then flips a switch or something else, set your patrolling guard to page 2 with said switch and set the route to approach player, then on contact= battle, etc.

I was having trouble by setting the parallel checker from Galv in my game, so I copied the events from the demo and successfully could establish a patrolling route/pattern. Thanks a lot for your time and help!!

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
