IRME -Icy Random Map Encounters / Monsta Generata / Event Generator Version 1.6d

How to Use?

Spoiler:

Well you can use it for a lot of things.
Minigames.
*Map encounters
Army simulation

And plenty of other things.

If you want an event to be a generator.
Simply create a comment within the event with the following.
<GENERATOR> # Declare that this event is a generator
<MONSTERS 1> # This will spawn Event 1, located on the encounter map, from this generator. You can use this tag multiple times to create a wide array of events to spawn.

Donwload For use an Application Consult the Demos.

Hey, follow the script posting template, we need something more explainable than this...

Monster generator? Is this for an ABS game? I would say it's very goodly built, I praise for this one

[ShadoweD]

Omfg i'm using events to do the same >.< it causes lots of lags because I have to make the events run on parallel process :/

is there a way to make those events check if the character is within a certain distance of the player and change their "Local Switch" to ON and OFF?

if you could make they do that without the need of making then paralell process (So my anti lag can stop loading then when they're out of the screen) this script would solve 40% of my lag problem xD


==Edit

Wltr, this works for lots of things... I'm using some eventing to do this to make the events appear on the map and take out those random battles...

to give a chance for the player to run away...

what this script does is make a EXACT COPY of the events from the other map, this means EVERYTHING that are on the pages of those events will still work. You can make some "random" events or rare encounters/npcs with this

You know, this could be a very, very neat script if someone could put it to use in an original way. And even if they don't, it's still genius. An instant like, IceDragon

[IceDragon]

The script does make an EXACT copy of the original event.
The only thing it changes is the Events Id.
I started at 500 for Event Ids.

Thanks for the support everyone!

@wltr3565
Don't rush me...
I'll get the intro and stuff down....later....soon....maybe?

[IceDragon]

You could go and check if the event with that ID exists in a recursive call. If it doesn't, it's okay and it breaks the recursion, otherwise it continues until it finds an empty ID.

Actually, or rather funny you should say that...
It does check for that....but before I had it start from 500... if you want just go down to the line with the variable for the start and change it if you want to..

I just used 500 to avoid trouble later..

(Cause I'm sure no one would have more than 255 events on the map)

[wsensor]

I keep getting an error

CODE

Script `Game_Event` line 29: nomethoderror occurred.
undefined method `x` for nil:nilclass

I copied it out of the demo.
Set encounter map to 7 instead of 2.

set up 1 generator.

set up 1 npc.

npc has default stuff. animation. wait for 30frames. than it sets its switch to A.
A switch contains a battle if it touches player.

[IceDragon]

The NPC must be on Map 7 then..
AND, NOT ON THE MAP, WITH THE GENERATOR!

Also when you set <Monster event_id> you replace event_id with the event_id of the one on the Encounter Map.

[wsensor]

I figured it out. I had to disable a script I had (did not even need it I forgot it was there lol).

[jiveturkey09]

With the burn out feature does that make it so that it will never work again until reloaded...?
And if so could you make a slight tweek..? so thatonly one NPC can be on the map at a time and when that one dies another will spawn...?

[IceDragon]

Set the Spawn Limit To 1 for that generator.
By using

CODE

<SPAWN COUNT 1>

A burn out generator will stop spawning when it reaches its maximum spawn count, even after the spawns die IT will not spawn anymore until you change maps.

[IceDragon]

Massive Update!
HUGE BUG FIXES
NEW FEATURES
GRAB THE LASTEST IRME!

Bug Fixes
- Spawn Time, Spawn Count didn't changed from events didn't work
- Generator Variable was never cleared properly, resulting in random crashes

New Features
- Area based Spawning!
- Switch Operated Generators!

So what are you WAITING FOR!!!! Start DOWNLOADING!! (Go to first post)

[Miacuro]

B. U. Tiful..
This script has just inspired me to continue working on my main projects and to start a whole new one..
It solves the "random battles problem" completely.

I love it. Excellent work.
-Mia

**Edit**
I just thought of some really interesting things you can do with this script..

1) "Random" crop growth in an Area Generator.. set Events as plants, instead of enemies.

2) Someone above said a chance NPC encounter.. why not a chance merchant encounter? Show up from time to time to sell awesome s***!!

3) "Random" headquarters party selector. Generate mixes of classes to be in a HQ.. or a pub.. or an inn..

4) WHOLE TOWN NPCS!! All npcs in town can be generated (except key npcs that activate switches/variables/move the story along)!!

5) More to come..

Could you re-upload it to mediafire? My computer says it has a virus and deletes it... >.<
Never mind, my antivirus just is'nt working properly with all files with .exe...

Anyways the script sounds great!

EDIT:

Got it to works and it is great! Thanks!

[Chris Gordon]

Can you explain how to make it so a battle starts when they touch the monster and how to make them stop chasing you after a certain point?

[IceDragon]

That would be eventing. Check the tutorials section.

[Chris Gordon]

I got it working now. I just copied the sheep from yours and put it in mine. Change the event and sprite and walla. =D

[IceDragon]

Glad to hear that! (Well the Sheepo saves the day, WOO HOO!)

[IceDragon]

UPDATE!!
Bug Fix. Generated events weren't removed from the list and caused lag later on.
>.> Since its just a small fix, and not any new features I'll just drop the script here..

[mitchi.exe]

I have to try this out. Very useful, IceD, esp. the Area Spawn feature you had.
