KTouchNewMapEvent

XP + VX + ACE + MV

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

Did you ever want that the engine would autorun events right after being touched by the player or another event?

Especially once it finishes transferring the player to a new map...

Now you can do that! Just copy and past the following snippet on your script editor!

const KTouchNewMap_event_setupPage = Game_Event.prototype.setupPage;

Game_Player.prototype.newMapX = function() {
  return this._newX;
}

Game_Player.prototype.newMapY = function() {
  return this._newY;
}

Game_Event.prototype.setupPage = function() {
  KTouchNewMap_event_setupPage.call(this);
  this.checkEventTriggerNewMapTouch();
};

Game_Event.prototype.checkEventTriggerNewMapTouch = function() {
  if (this._trigger == 1 || this._trigger == 2) {
    if ($gamePlayer.newMapX() == this.x && $gamePlayer.newMapY() == this.y) {
      this.start();
    }
  }
};

Notes

Honestly, there are other ways to trigger events without using scripts. Yet, you can still use my scriptlet to make it possible by setting its trigger as Player Touch or Event Touch.
