Continuous floor damage when standing still

[gsuk 1]

I have areas of my game inside a volcano and, currently, floor damage is only dealt when my character steps on a lava tile once per tile. Is it possible (I'm sure it is) to have floor damage be dealt over and over if the character does not move off the tile? It doesn't make much sense to stand on hot lava and it not continue to damage you :). I suppose this would involve setting up something that deals damage every, say, half a second or something, but I don't know if that would involve scripting, or if there's a nice Common Event workaround.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Found this. It's not fully what you want but maybe someone can add to it.

Damage for more types of Floors Script v 1.0
Author = Kio Kurashi
Credit = Kio Kurashi
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes:
  Currently this script only works for two types of Floor damage. It doesn't
  nessesarly need to be Poison, Lava, and Shock, however. If more than the
  provided number of Floors are needed I can add more. I am best contacted
  through steam on the RPG Maker VX Ace forums there.
 
Disclaimer:
  This is my first offical script and that is why it is rather lacking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions:
   The editable section is directly bellow. For each you will have a Region ID,
   and a Damage ammount. The Region ID will be whatever number you choose to set
   as the Region number on the tiles.(Yes every Tile must have a region on it if
   it is to be checked for damage.) Damage will be the Base damage that is
   applied for each number.

Unnn...

Set up a parallel process common event with a conditional branch set to Script and throw this in there:

$game_player.on_damage_floor?

Cleaned up the code

I had a derp moment and forgot what I was going to say.

Anyway, the method I mentioned would of involved a Wait command and then a script command that would deplete the party's HP by whatever.

[gsuk 1]

Thanks all.

 

I get a script error when I start the game:

 

[PhoenixSoul 1,404]

Change :DAMAGE_SWITCH in that line to :FDR_DAMAGE_SWITCH. See if that works.

Addendum:
:DAMAGE_INT should also be changed to :FDR_DAMAGE_INT because that left as is will also likely throw an error.

Thank you! It works great now.
