Bug Report?
Please give me these informations:

- What is it says in error window?
- When is it get error? (Right after run game, when you choose something, etc.)
- What have you changed in setting part?
- Do you have any other scripts running in your game that may crash with this script?

[Hanmac]

make a demo...


PS: i think it must be an error if you oben the menu.



PPS: can i modify this?
i will include range and outher spezific things for my npc scripts

[woratana]

@Hanmac:
I think this script is pretty simple to use.

Why do you think it will error if open the menu? Have you tried it?
And what is the error say? That will help me a lot to fix bug.

Feels free to modify any of my script
I don't mind if the credit is included~

[Hanmac]

no i dont test. (1. i have no demo. 2. no time)
but i think if you open the menu, the windows are visible

[woratana]

It will, because Scene_Map will take map's picture before dispose Spriteset_Map.

But the windows are actually already disposed.

[chaosBlender]

Very nice script, I think I may be going to use it.
Would you mind if I modify it, so you don't need the event id, but so you also can use the events name?
EDIT: Nah, forget it, that doesn't seem to work (I thought I remembered a function to get the event's id based on it's name, but I think I've got something wrong there) XD

@hanmac: Funktioniert übrigens einwandfrei.

[woratana]

Yeah, go for it.
As I said to Hanmac that

Feels free to modify any of my script
I don't mind if the credit is included~

[chaosBlender]

Oh, forget my edit. Got it to work ^^

Code: [Auswählen]

Change:

class Game_Interpreter
  def set_text(evid, new_text)
    target = get_character(evid)
    target.text = new_text
  end
end


Into:

class Game_Map
  def setup_events
    @events = {}          # Map event
    @event_name = {}
    for i in @map.events.keys
      @events[i] = Game_Event.new(@map_id, @map.events[i])
      @event_name[i] = @map.events[i].name
    end
    @common_events = {}   # Common event
    for i in 1...$data_common_events.size
      @common_events[i] = Game_CommonEvent.new(i)
    end
  end
  
   def get_id_from_name(name)
    @evid = @event_name.index(name)
    return @evid
  end
end
  
class Game_Interpreter
  def set_text(evid, new_text)
    target = get_character($game_map.get_id_from_name(evid))
    target.text = new_text
  end
end
Now, instead of using the event id, you can use the events' name.
Deutsch: Jetzt kann man statt der Event ID auch den Eventnamen benutzen ^^ (Is vielleicht einfach einfacher, wenn man das ganze mit nem zentralen Event steuert und net ständig für alles die ID rausfinden will ^^)

[Dainreth]

Hey wora, I like this one, it's great!

[Onkel Hell]

its realy nice
i use this in cooperation with an edit of my mapmarker to show the names of npcs when you are near to them, realy good when you seek a specific enemy

[Hanmac]

i have mod this to a verion that schows only name from npcs that are in range.
the bad this is that you need more scripts:
-NPC
-EOS (event-object-system)
-and a mod of this)

[Dainreth]

@Hanmac
Sounds interesting and seems to work? So, why you're not posting it so we can test it..

[Deses]

i use the script and it's very nice but can you make "press action button" to delete the textbox?
deutsch (im falle es jemand besser übersetzen kann^^ ) : Kannst du vielleich einen "PRess Button" einbauen um die Nachricht verschwiendne zu lassen anstatt set_text(charakter ,"")?

[Ceta]

Hey wora!^^

I'm very interested in this Script, but may I ask you a question?

Is it possible to show Facesets near this Textboxes, like it was in Golden Sun?

It looked like this:



Is it possible?

Greetz

Elements

[Stef-san]

is it perhaps possible for a bigger chatbox? ;O
