Resetting Self-Switches A only

[radiantcross13 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to know if there is a way to reset only self switches A. I am already aware of this script call ($game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new) to reset all self-switches but if I could reset only self-switches A (or any specific letter self-switch for that matter) that would make my day.

Bump! (BTW I would also like to know if it is impossible, I've got a plan

Self-switch A's for all events? For all events across all maps?

 

You need to specify what you want to do.

Yes, it would be for all events across all maps, if possible.

 

Actually, I use a random, respawnable loot system so prefer using self switches and resetting them so I can quickly copy/paste loot events without having to change switches IDs for each (there are lots of loot spots).

 

But I figured it would save me time if I could do that with with the self-switches A and still use other self-switches (B, C, D) for one-time events that I don't want repeated instead of using regular switches.

 

This is what I'll do if I can't reset self-switches A without resetting other self-switches. But using self-switches would save me time and tedium.

 

Sorry If that wasn't clear. I hope it's more understandable now...

Anyone?

How about you just use one global switch?  And set up a page on each loot spot that turns Self Switch A off when the page is triggered by the global switch in question?  Would that work?

 

Edit: Shoot, never mind.  I don't know why I thought it would work.

Just go through all of the self-switch entries looking for a specific letter and then turn them off

 

class Game_SelfSwitches
  def bulk_set(letter, state)
    switches = @data.keys.select {|data| p data; data[2] == letter }
    switches.each {|key| self[key] = state }
  end
end

class Game_Interpreter
  def bulk_self_switch(letter, state)
    $game_self_switches.bulk_set(letter, state)
  end
end

Usage: script call

 

bulk_self_switch("A", false)

This is only useful for turning off self-switches that are already turned on because switches that have not been changed yet will not exist in the data.

Woah, it works! You just saved me a whole lot of time Tsukihime! Thanks a lot!

 

Oh, and it doesn't matter that switches that have not been changed already won't be affected, I really just need to turn OFF those that were turned ON in the first place.

 

That way I can use self-switch A, B and C for my loot system (I have randomly locked doors and chests that use all 3) and still use self-switch D for one-time event. When you exit the dungeon I just turn OFF all self-switches A, B and C through the script call (which I'll do with a common event) and leave self-switches D as is. That way all random loots respawn and one-time/story events won't!

 

Thanks again, I really mean it!
