Event Skipper


Introduction

This script is my Event Skipper. Basically, this script will skip event commands that take time to accomplish. Stuff like show text or scroll map and the like (full list of event commands in script and below.) But, it still makes important event commands occur like Controlling switches or variables. I'm hoping this script will speed up people's game debugging, and even has the option to add game features. ;)

Features

- Speeds up event debugging
- Can add a "Cutscene skip" option to games.
- In test mode, has the option to instant skip or use a command window.
- Has 2 different skipping options.
- And more...

The following are event commands that will be skipped:

CODE

Show Text
Scroll Map
Set Move Route (will force a No wait for completion)
Fadeout Screen
Fadein Screen
Show Animation
Show Balloon Icon
Wait
Name Input Processing (The name will default to Ralph.)

How to Use/Notes

Initial commands and notes:

Auto-skipping events will only occur in test mode.

To start the point where an event will start skipping, make an event comment with
SKIP EVENT BEGIN
This is required on every page you want skipped.

To stop skipping at a specific point, make en event comment with
SKIP EVENT END
This is NOT required and if not made, the rest of the event will just be skipped.

The following event commands will be skipped when an event is designated
to be skipped:

Show Text
Scroll Map
Set Move Route (will force a No wait for completion)
Fadeout Screen
Fadein Screen
Show Animation
Show Balloon Icon
Wait
Name Input Processing (The name will default to Ralph.)


Other features:

Battles now have auto-result hotkeys that can be used anytime to end the battle
how you want to end it, instantly.
A = win
S = escape
D = lose

You now have the option for instant transfers while in test mode.

You also have 2 global skipping methods.

Pressing W during event - Skips the entire event and can be used during any
event, only usable in test mode.

Pressing Q inside tags - Can only be used after the SKIP EVENT BEGIN tag and
only skips until the SKIP EVENT END tag. Has the option to be used in any mode.
Note: In the command window that pops up when you use this skipping method,
you must use Q to select your choice, NOT Enter.


Issues:

Currently, You shouldn't use "Retain" for a transfer if the transfer is after a
move route and they can be skipped. Specify the direction.
You may not skip common events.

Very nice Jet. Yes this will make my debugging alot easier. Thank you

Skipping a cut scene? Awesome.

So it skips events? Does that mean the things inside the event still occur? (switches, conditional branches, variable changing)?

[Terra-chan]

Yup, it was made for me. :3 It will skip everything but Choices and Show Picture in an event. It will display these things and then finish the event to the tag when you press Q. It'll go to the end of the event page with W.

All changes that occur in the course of the event still occur.

You forgot to dispose of the options "Skip Scene" and "continue" afterwards...

[Terra-chan]

Did you press Q again? You can only use the menu by pressing Q.

Oh. Dear. God. On. High.

Is everyone on this site subconciously helping with my game? Am I somehow controlling people? Are you my minions?
You're my minions, aren't you? FETCH ME COOKIES, MY MINIONS!

No, but seriously, this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you very much, Jet!

[Rixis]

I like it, but is this basically soley a creators tool? Or could you use it for the actual project itself to skip cut-scences in game?

[Jet]

It has an option in the config to allow the tagged Q skipping in actual game mode.
So yes, you can add a skip cutscene to your game.

[Hoopsnake Games]

Oh dear...

I think this script clashes with KGC_TitleDirection. The reason I say this is because when I start up my game, I hear the logo SE, but then I get this error:
 Error3.PNG ( 13.39K ) Number of downloads: 15


Is there anything you or I can do to fix this problem?

[Jet]

ok, nab the newest script from my blog and see if it works.

[Hoopsnake Games]

HOOPSNAKE APPROVED!

It works absolutely fine now - thank you for the very quick reply!

[jezdgreat]

Where's the script for skipping cut scene?? seems i can't find in your demo.....
tnx for helping.......

[Jet]

Oh, that's bad. For some reason the wrong link was in the blog.
Fixed, only goes to script so you need to read the instructions.

[Zakkie]

One of the best scripts.

However, I've a simple request: Could you build some true/false-options for the parts which should be skipped? I think not every game would need the whole package and might want to show at last the movements or fade in/outs.

[Dariken]

Ah Jet you never fail to amaze me. This'll make things MUCH easier.

That and animations and then this is the best script ever.

[Jet]

If I have time i I'll the true/false for each option but it sounds real tedious at the moment xD
But who knows, I could get to it eventually, thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.
