Dude, Where's My Autorun? Version 1.0
Created by Trihan
Created by Trihan
Introduction
Have you ever been test playing your game when all of a sudden the player couldn't move any more? Ah, crap, looks like you probably have an errant autorun event that's screwing things up. But this is a 500x500 map with 150 events on it, and your autorun could be ANY ONE OF THEM! What to do, what to do...if only there were a plugin that could help. Well, now there is!
Features
- Display a list of every autorun page in the game that meets its conditions to run.
- Tells you how you can activate higher-numbered pages to turn the page off.
- Tells you whether the autorun page has an "erase event" command that makes it turn itself off.
Screenshots
How to Use
Install the plugin pretty much anywhere. Its functionality is entirely contained within a new DataManager function, so it won't cause compatibility issues with any other plugin unless for some reason another plugin adds a function to DataManager called locateAutorun, which I can't imagine will happen any time soon.
In order to use it, there are two commands; due to the utility-based nature of this plugin, you have to run it from the console as you can run it from any point in the game. The volume of potential output is too great to use message boxes or a scene for it. So press F8 to open the console and then enter one of the following:
DataManager.locateAutorun()
This will look through every map in the game for events with autorunning pages, and if it finds any will tell you whether they meet their conditions and what you'd have to do to turn them off. It won't give you every single autorun page; if it finds a non-autorun page that's higher than the autorun and has its conditions met, it won't mention that page.
Note that as this loads up the data for every map in the game, larger games may take a while to process.
DataManager.locateAutorun(mapId)
This will cause the output to be limited to the specific map ID you enter.
