MapScroll v2.0
Jeremy Cannady
Introduction
This script will scroll the map when you get to the edge instead of the normal auto center.
Need people who want to use this to test this and tell me the bugs as I  can't test all scenarios.

Features

Scales with Yanfly Width/Height changes.

Grid Snap: Calculates what grid you should be in when you change maps so your screen displays the right grid and is not centered.

For example if you have grid snap disabled then when you enter a new map your camera will be centered on you instead of the grid.

Example of grid snap:

Spoiler

Plugin commands:

 Map_Scroll_Disable ---> Disables Scrolling, revert to normal game scrolling.

 Map_Scroll_Enable  ---> Enables scrolling. (default)
 Grid_Snap_Disable  ---> Disables grid auto snap.

 Grid_Snap_Enable   ---> Enables grid auto snap (default)

Note Tags:

<ScrollDisable> ---->If you want a special map to automatically disable scrolling then put this in. 

This will allow you to run around like normal for a special map.

How to Use
Put the file in your plugins folder.

Anyone can use this for whatever purpose.

so this is all one map right? I'll mess with it. this might... MIGHT make games more playable on smart phones as the camera moving less = less confusing.

Edit: First issue. the boundaries don't increase with resolution so the screen shifts when you reach a small square instead of the edge of the window. you need an option in the parameters to be able to manually type what the resolution is that we type in the resolution changer

Is there any chance this is possible well I know it's possible but easy to get this to work with Shaz Plugin:

I can't speak for Jeremy but that might be impossible with the current script. this is more of a camera control then a transfer script. this locks the camera in place and when you reach the edge of the screen, NOT the edge of the map, it pans the camera. 

Pretty much, Jeremy's script is all on one map, not multiple maps.

 

[Rito]

Yeaaa, it's great !

It's possible to enable/disable with a switch ?

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

Yeah I can update it to where it is active/unactive with just a switch. Kinda weird to make it that way but extra options are good.

I have downloaded the map transfer script. I will tinker around and see what I can come up with.

Edit2: I just tried it with Shaz script and they both work flawlessly, first time no edits.

Alright, I'm sure I'm going to sound really dumb, but do I need to do anything other than add the script to my game through the plugin manager? I mean, do I need to activate it with an event or something? It's not working for me.

 

[Bernkastel]

while using YEP_CoreEngine to change the resolution the screen doesn't pan in the right locations anymore. it still pans based on the small area of the original resolution

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

I have updated it, it should change now based on what screen width/height you use in the yanfly core.

 

[Rito]

Thank you !!!

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

Updated to have a auto grid snap function.

When you enter a new map the screen will center the camera on you. 

With grid snap it will center the camera on the correct grid.

So this is pretty much the solution to the event problem, which is great! Kudos to you, sir, your dedication to the community is really appreciated.

I can't wait to try this out. I don't think I realized how awkward the standard map transfers were until now. Thank you!

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

I just like to be able to see one area at a time instead of it constantly changing. Works better for my puzzle related game and is easier on my eyes.

Hey Jeremy Cannady when you have Scroll Disabled for a map with gridsnap on it shows alot of black space if the map isn't the correct dimensions. You might change line 77 to

if(Game_Player.prototype.gridSnap === false || $dataMap.meta.ScrollDisable === true){It seems to fix the issue

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

Thanks for finding a bug.

 

[Fox536]

No problem

 

[KadoDragon]

Let me make sure I have something straight. If I turn off grid snapping, does camera move with you between the maps like in Pokemon?

EDIT: Oh. Nevermind. I thought this stitched maps together. It's still only one map. Kinda dumb really. But okay.

 

[Jeremy Cannady]

There are a few scripts that can stitch the maps together so no need to redo something. This script just stops the camera from moving until you are the edge of the screen. You can combine this with a map stitching script to make a zelda type world. After that someone just needs to come up with a real time battle system.

I realize that my post came out a little rude. Just makes little sense to make map transfers on one map to me. What's the point?
