Awesome! Reminds me of the gathering system on Don't Starve. Another great job, Casper!

Everything works fine, now this error appear when I try to put 3 nodes with same type and same / different action regardless.

def csca_gather_get_node
@list.each do |command|

 

The one that I underline seems to be bugging me and I don't know what to fix.

[casper667 130]

I have tried making 3 of the same nodes on the same map, and I don't get any error. I'm not quite sure what you meant when you said "and same / different action regardless."

Are you using any custom scripts (besides other CSCA scripts) that might affect events / event commands? Also, could you confirm that it is because of the 3 nodes of same type (does 3 nodes with different type also error for you, does 2 nodes error for you?)

[Amber 1]

3 nodes in the same type and I use yanfly and crafting script. This error happens when I try to create 2 gather nodes event with same nodes

[TheRPGLPer 2]

I don't know what I am doing wrong but I cannot even get the gather nodes to work.

I use the following text in a comment event "<gather node: mining>" for example, and nothing

shows up on that event.

[casper667 130]

if you have <gather node: mining>

You need nodes with the following setup:
 

    :symbol => :mining,

[TheRPGLPer 2]

Here is the setup I have in that section:

  NODE[0] = {
    :type => :mining,
    :symbol => :copper_ore,
    :name => "Copper Ore",
    :actiontext => "Mine",
    :level_req => 1,
    :exp => 4,
    :min_tier => 0,
    :gather_item => [:item, 6, 1],
    :gather_item_rare => [:item, 6, 1],
    :rare_chance => 1,
    :amount_variance => 1,
    :rare_amount_variance => 1,
    :min_amount => 1,
    :rare_min_amount => 1,
    :profession_level_effect => 0.02,
    :start_spawned => true,
    :spawn_time => 300,
    :gather_time => 180,
    :gather_sound => nil,
    :gather_end_sound => nil,
    :gather_anim => 7,
    :color1 => 29,
    :color2 => 29,
    :graphic => ["!Other1", 0, 2],
    :required_switch => nil,
    :note => ""
    }
        NODE[1] = {
    :type => :mining,
    :symbol => :tin_ore,
    :name => "Tin Ore",
    :actiontext => "Mine",
    :level_req => 1,
    :exp => 4,
    :min_tier => 0,
    :gather_item => [:item, 7, 1],
    :gather_item_rare => [:item, 6, 1],
    :rare_chance => 1,
    :amount_variance => 1,
    :rare_amount_variance => 1,
    :min_amount => 1,
    :rare_min_amount => 1,
    :profession_level_effect => 0.02,
    :start_spawned => true,
    :spawn_time => 300,
    :gather_time => 180,
    :gather_sound => nil,
    :gather_end_sound => nil,
    :gather_anim => 7,
    :color1 => 29,
    :color2 => 29,
    :graphic => ["!Other1", 1, 2],
    :required_switch => nil,
    :note => ""
    }

But when the game starts, nothing shows up on that event.

Here is the event page:

[casper667 130]

Hmm, everything looks correct and I can copy+paste your node[0] into my test project and it works. You have a node type set up as well with :type => :mining, I'm assuming?

Are you using any other custom scripts that affect events? Are you testing with an old save file or a new game?

[TheRPGLPer 2]

It's a new game, yes, and I do have the type set up for Mining.

I am going to submit the game in a ZIP format because I cannot get this script to work, and I do have MANY, MANY other scripts, but I don't think any of them would affect it. They are all pretty much basic. I hope you can figure out whats wrong because I really like the idea behind this script.

EDIT: The events that have the gather node comment are on the Mountain Village House (Exterior) near the right side.

It's Yami's Patch System

That script overwrites Game_Map#setup, which my script also uses to set up the gathering nodes.

 

To fix this, place that script above the CSCA Gathering script. You'll also need to update the CSCA Core script as the CSCA Gathering script requires 1.0.7+ and you only have 1.0.6. I'd also suggest making your gather events "same as character" or else you'll be able to walk over them.

[TheRPGLPer 2]

Thank you so much, that was it. It's working fine now.

For some reason when I try to put an event on the map that can only apear with a switch condition (event only apear if switch 3 is on), the game crashes giving an error with this script at 593 saying undefind method for 'each'. I did this on a blank project. Along with your Core script, your toast manager script, your Proffesions sript and your Crafting Script.

[casper667 130]

I can't reproduce your error. You'll have to give more information.

[imaninja33 0]

I can't reproduce your error. You'll have to give more information.

To reproduce it just set one of the switches on in the conditions section for an event(meaning a switch has to be on for the event to show up on the map)

It happens even when I use the unmodified version of your scripts. Here is how I have them set up.

 

CSCA Core Script version: 1.0.7

CSCA Toast Manager version: 1.1.0

CSCA Professions version: 1.0.3

CSCA Crafting version: 1.0.4

CSCA Gathering version: 1.0.0

[casper667 130]

I have tried requiring a switch for a node, the error doesn't happen for me.

[imaninja33 0]

That's strange, I even tried this on a blank project with just your core script and your gathering script alone. I keep getting the error on the second line of this part of the script. 

 

 def csca_gather_get_node
    @list.each do |command| (THIS LINE HERE)

    if command.code == 108 && command.parameters[0] =~ /<gather_node: (.*)>/i
        @gather_event = true
        @through = true
        @node = $csca.get_node($1.to_sym)
        @last_gather_time = csca_gather_get_last_gather_time(@map_id, @id)
        break
      end
    end
  end

 

It keeps saying undefined method for 'each'. Do you know any reason it might do that, I might have to upload a demo of it.

[casper667 130]

Try replacing that code with this:

def csca_gather_get_node
  unless @list.nil?
    @list.each do |command| (THIS LINE HERE)
      if command.code == 108 && command.parameters[0] =~ /<gather_node: (.*)>/i
        @gather_event = true
        @through = true
        @node = $csca.get_node($1.to_sym)
        @last_gather_time = csca_gather_get_last_gather_time(@map_id, @id)
        break
      end
    end
  end
end

If that doesn't work, you'll have to upload a demo or something.

That seemed to do the trick, It's working perfectly now! Thanks.

I seem to get an error whenever I try to add a sound effect to end sound.

:gather_end_sound => "Item3",

Doesn't seem to be working. Everything else in the script is working fine. 

 

The error I get simple says File Not Found.

[KaylieMarie 9]

A very nice looking script! I'm going to have to find a way to implement this!

I downloaded this script of your website, have the Core and Professions scripts as well.  I am getting the following error, with one event defined on the map:

 

Script 'CSCA_Gathering' line 652: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method 'required_switch' for #<Array:0x5ea6b40>

 

My node types is defined as:

 

NODE_TYPES[0] = {
    :type => :mining,
    :item_tiers => [[:item, 80]] , #
    :note => ""
    }

 

I have 3 nodes defined, each with the required_switch property => nil,

 

Any insight on this issue would be great!

I was running into this problem earlier, I found what fixed it was making sure that NO events on the map require a switch on their first page. If they do, simply put a blank page, with no switches required, first.

Hi there, I made an account here just to get help with this issue I've been having, as I just can't figure it out. Here's my list of scripts, along with the Error. Most of my scripts with vague names are YanFly.

 

 

Here's my gather code:

 

   NODE[0] = {

    :type => :mining,

    :symbol => :stone,

    :name => "Stone",

    :actiontext => "mine",

    :level_req => 1,

    :exp => 10,

    :min_tier => 0,

    :gather_item => [:item, 47],

    :gather_item_rare => [:item, 48],

    :rare_chance => 10,

    :amount_variance => 1,

    :rare_amount_variance => 1,

    :min_amount => 1,

    :rare_min_amount => 1,

    :profession_level_effect => 0.02,

    :start_spawned => true,

    :spawn_time => 0,

    :gather_time => 180,

    :gather_sound => nil,

    :gather_end_sound => nil,

    :gather_anim => 7,

    :color1 => 29,

    :color2 => 29,

    :graphic => ["Miningrocks_1", 0, 2],

    :required_switch => nil,

    :note => ""

    }

 

So basically everything works fine, I can mine the stone and it all works. But if I enter 1 of 3 maps in my game, It crashes and I get that error. There's no stone in those maps, and they worked before. Help?

 

Edit: I removed the gathering script completely, and no Errors on those maps. I've attached the entire thing.

Would there be a way to run a common event for the gathering or have it pick between a few different items? This looks like it could possibly work better than the common events I've set up for my herb gathering, but if you can only have the chance to get one item per event it wouldnt do me any good as my herbs you have a chance of picking 6 different items.
