search number 10519195120003
I would like to have a checkpoint move system. What this is is instead of having a move route like move left, move left, move left, move down, move down, move down, move right, move right, move right, move up, move up, move up, repeat. Which would make a square like this
>>>V you can have a move route script call saying find_checkpointX or follow_checkpointX. What this would do is the event would go towards the
^...V checkpoint as it would go towards a character with the approach comand. The checkpoints would be marked with ether a checkpointX (X being the
^...V number of check point) for a go to, or a checkpointXYZ (X being the number of checkpoint, y being the number of the checkpoint in the system and
^<<< Z being the second number in the route) for a patrol. The reason I want this is because curently if you interupt an event durning its movement it restarts and I also want to be able to have an event in the middle of know-were and find itts way back. After like chasing the player or something. The only reason I dont event this is because I still want the events to be actavate-able and I want it to evade opsticals.

..or you could just use my Autothru Events script, which will make the event wait 2 seconds, then move 'past' the obstacle in its move path, like a person would through a crowd. Here:

# Autothru Events
#-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=#
#
# FenixFyreX
#
# Within rmvx games, events cannot pass other events by default, even when
# the event in question has a specific route it needs to take within a game.
# This script modifies the move_down, move_left, move_right, move_up functions
# to check whether the event has been stopped. If so, the event waits for a set
# count and then moves past the blocking event.
#
# To give an event this function, put the comment you specify below in a comment
# of the event.
#
# To disable the whole system, call this:
#
#    halt_autothru
#
# To enable the whole system, call this:
#
#    resume_autothru
#
# To toggle the system, call this:
#
#    toggle_autothru

Try it out and tell me if it suits your needs.

That is a nice script but not what i was looking for. I was looking for a way to make it so if the event is 3 steps in to its move and you change its page, when it returns it will still go the the samp place. That way you dont have you program every step and you dont have to program every posible move route if you have been chased by some one and they go back to their place. Ex a guard chases you down the streat then walks back to his post out side the castle gate.

[jesse120]

To clarify I am not looking for a crowd script but a maze solving/patrol script.

[jesse120]

Your script is not what i am looking for.

I think what you are looking for it a Pathfinding script it not easy to do i dont know if i can do it but i will try tomorrow
with a pathfinding script it supposed to go to a x,y point avoiding obstacle on his way ex you have a maze and your event is a the entrace he gonna
find the smallest way to get out ou the maze

Exactly please make it so when the event gets to one point he then goes to the next..

Sounds like Woratana's Move Command Plus might help.

# this will return true if event 1 is approaching event 2
# if id 2 is omitted, it will refer to 'this event'
# Example:
# approach_detect(5)
# in a conditional branch will be true if event with id 5 is adjacent to and
# facing this event.

  def approach_detect(event_id1, event_id2 = 0)

Sounds like Woratana's Move Command Plus might help.

I haven't tried it yet but it looks like what i need.

[jesse120]

I ran the script and it is not quite what i want. It is a good start but the event cant do an auto mated sequence. he has to be told to move each step and you have to manualy switch targets. the other thing is he dosentt evade objects he just walks in to them and stalls.

Omg... Bro I've been looking, and you seem to request a whole game scripted for you. No dissrespect but you are useing the wrong engine for your game. You want to rebuild the whole system? You cant expect to get all those scripta to the likes of you without haveing to pay for it I would guess. Couse you sure request a lot of advanced scripts, that you also want to work fine with eachother, and probably want them user-friendly enough to use :-/ good luck :-)) but I doubt you will find someone to make them for you :-/

[jesse120]

Actualy I would prefer a complete re make of the game or even beter a completely difernt maker but RPG maker is the best maker i have found so far. I would make all of these requested scripts myself but I dont yet have the skill to make them.
