Take acion for specifed event by its name

[LynX]

Hi there all ! I was hoping You will help me with my one problem...
Is there any way of selecting action for event (move route, teleport) for event by it's name ?

You select it from the drop down menu by its ID number when you e.g. choose set move route.  It doesn't matter what you call the event (in the name box, top left of the event), the engine goes by number ID, which you can see just above that, right at the top.

It helps to give names to events so that you can identify them more easily, but that's the only function names have.  

As for teleport, only players can teleport, events can't, so could you be a bit more explicit about what you want with that.

Technically you could do it by name but the method would be (a lot) more complicated then what Ksjp said and would require a script.

If you even think of identifying an event by its name instead of its number, then most probably you either misunderstood how the computer works, or you try to follow different events on different maps.


Sorry, if you want a common event to do the same with an event on different maps, you have to make sure that that event has the same ID on all maps.


However, that can be achieved even later by simply selecting an ID and then either delete the event with that ID on the other maps (after copying the previous content to a new ID) it that ID is already used, or adding events until the ID appear (for maps with less events).


Everything else is a lot more complicated (as Sarlecc already said).

Yeah im trying to spawn event then move it to the near hero location  

 

[Andar]

If you spawn an event, you usually have its datastructure in the script command that you use to spawn it, and that data structure includes the ID it gets upon spawn.


You might have to go around a bit tricky to get it, but since you also need to use the data structure in the script command to move that event, that should not add too much problems to that.
