Rokan's Symbol Encounter Simplifier 1.01

[Kirin 37]

This script was not written by me! I simply translated it from Japanese and posted it here to share! Do NOT ask me for support, I'm not a scripter (I'll try, but most likely fail)!

 

Alright, now that that's out of the way... This here script is:

I have not officially asked permission from him as I did for his Active Time Line Battle System for VX, but I assume that translating it counts as a modification and I am thus allowed. If this bothers anyone, I have no problem with asking him formally, only reason I didn't is because it's 1:30am and I can't be bothered having to think in Japanese.

 

So. The script. Those of you who dislike random encounters would most likely love this. Here is a breakdown on what this script offers:

 

Features

 

• Determine battle (dis)advantage by either running into the back of your enemy or getting jumped from the back by an enemy.
  
• If your followers touch a symbol, it counts as an ambush by the enemy.
  
• Built in range detection for symbols, able to detect the player from a user-defined value of tiles away.
  
• Has a separate detection range for when player is dashing, hence not exactly being stealthy.
  
• Allows creation of items and skills that enable 'stealth mode' where the player is undetectable for a certain number of steps.
  
• Lets you have balloon pop-ups above the symbols when the player has been detected so the player actually KNOWS they've been detected.
  
• You can have symbols be stationary when the player isn't detected, or you can have them be moving around randomly.
  
• Able to set certain regions (more than one) to be impassable to symbols on an individual pattern basis.
  
• Preconfigure different patterns of symbols all within the script, then call the symbol pattern with a simple script call.
  
• Has a built in transparency editor; the further away from the player, the more transculent the symbol, until at a certain range it's invisible. (Can be disabled)
  
• Able to have symbols flee the player when a certain level is reached.

 

Sounds juicy, don't it? I was planning on having random encounters in my game due to the hassle of touch encounters; not anymore. So now that I've got you all excited, here's the actual translated script (Note, I only translated the important bits; everything after the configuration area is still Japanese, but it's nothing important for the non-coder). All the instructions are in the header of the script, so please read carefully.

     * Symbol Encounter Simplifying Script 1.01*

  Updated: 	2012/03/04

     Simplifies the creation of symbol (touch) encounters. 

  Symbol = Encounter event graphic.

     â— Important â—==========================================================
     Once this script is activated, all other move routes within the event
     will be ignored.
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     If you want to disable SESS temporarily or for the one event, just
  create a new event page without the command.
     ====================================================================

     â— Function â—========================================================
     When starting a battle on contact with a symbol, your positions 
  determine if it's a regular battle, a preemptive strike or an
  ambush. 
         ・When you touch the back of the event      => Preemptive Strike
         ・When the event touches your back          => Ambushed
         ・When the event touches your followers     => Ambushed
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Symbols can chase the player when he/she gets within a certain range.
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     The transparency of the symbols can change depending on the distance
  between it and the player. 
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Symbols can flee from the player once a certain level is reached. 
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Symbols can detect the player earlier if the player is dashing.  
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Symbols can have a balloon icon show up when the player is detected.
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     You can have skills or items that make the player undetectable. 
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     You can set regions where the symbol cannot enter. 
     ====================================================================

     â— Symbol Encounter Event Setup â—========================
     Symbol behaviour is set up in the configuration area below in advance.
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Please set the Movement Frequency of the Event to 5: Highest. 
  (Event Page > Autonomous Movement > Freq > 5: Highest)
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Place the following script call in the Custom Move Route
  (Event Page > Autonomous Movement > Type > Custom > Move Route... >
   Script...)

       enable_symbol_encount(x)

  where x is the symbol type defined in the configuration block. 
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Finally, set the Event Trigger to Event Touch, and we're good to go!
  Touch Encounters!
     ====================================================================

     â— About Stealth Mode â—==============================================
     Place the following tag in the notebox of a skill or an item to go
  into stealth mode, making the player undetectable by the symbols. 

  stealth:n

  where 'n' is the number of steps you want stealth mode to last for. 
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Place the following in a script call within an event to forcibly
  cancel stealth mode (Not reset to max 'n').

       reset_stealth
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
     Please use this command when changing the controlled character or 
  after scenarios/cutscenes which take a long time. 
     ====================================================================

     â— Notice â—==========================================================
     Please start a new game to avoid any errors. 
     ====================================================================

     ver1.01

     Last Update : 2012/03/04
     03/04 : Fixed a bug with event tracking.

Here's a link to a demo, since I managed to get some time to play around with it.

 

Demo (Mediafire)

 

Enjoy!

 

FAQ

Q: Where do I put this script?

A: Above Main, under Materials.

 

Q: How do I use this script?

A: In a nutshell: edit the configuration block with the settings you want your pattern to have, then make a new event, change the movement frequency to Highest, put it on a custom move route and call this script from within the move route:

 

enable_symbol_encount(x)

 

where x is the symbol type defined in the configuration block. Don't forget to set the event to trigger on Event Touch.

 

Q: Where do you put the stealth notetag?

A: In the Notetags of Skills and Items (And only those two). Just a note. There's no space between the colon and the number. Not stealth: 50, but stealth:50.

Wow this is nice. thanks for translating and sharing it.

Im kinda confuse... i look into the event map and saw nothing to configure to the events. where exactly will i change the settings for each monster? and what does number 1 represents in this script line $game_self_switches[[1, 2, "A"]] = false ?

The first question will answer itself if you've actually read through the text.

 

You don't do any configuration in the event. All events share the same settings (I just copied and pasted them all) except for the script they call in the move route. The real configuration is all in the configuration block of the script, near the top.

 

For the second question, it's just a fancy way of avoiding global switches. That script call disables the self switch A of event #2 in map #1.

I apologize for my noobness i started reading it from the configuration block. Anyways I kinda grasp it now. Thanks for replying my fail question hahaha
