@DarthVollis They shouldn't reset.

@Casper667 Thank you!

Would be awesome to add switches to gain a achievment then only var.
This way you can make even more achievments.

triggering a switch that rewards you an achievment.

:swi = turned on in $game_switch[id]
:swi, swi = turned on in $game_switchs[id,id]

or someething like that.

 

[casper667 131]

The reason switches aren't included is because achievements are basically switches. $game_achievements[0] = true is the same as $game_switches[0] = true

 

Rather than turn a switch on and then have the achievements check whether the switch is on, it's much easier to just turn the achievement on.

I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple achievements that use steps. For example:

 

Achievement One: Take 1,000 steps

Achievement Two: Take 10,000 steps

Achievement Three: Take 100,000 steps

 

I set it up with what I thought was right, but it did not track the steps for any of the others only the first one.

I have tested it real quick and it tracked 2 different step achievements at the same time in my test project. Check to make sure you've set the PROGRESS array up correctly, and also check to make sure the ACHIEVEMENT array is set up correctly (it can get a bit confusing with all those nils where to plug in each array, I really need to go back through this script and make it easier to use one of these times  ). Although since one of them is working, this sounds like user error to me. If you still can't get it working post the relevant PROGRESS and ACHIEVEMENTS arrays.

@casper667

Ah okay.
Then it would be awesome to add switchs as a reward.
For example getting the achiev 100.000 gold and it will turn  switch x = true as a reward.
is that posseble?

That's not possible with the current version of the script. If you're using a switch to check something in an event, you can do Conditional branch script: $game_achievements[x] == true/false  to check if the achievement has been earned or not.

 

 

If you want to use an achievement check in the page conditions you'll have to get a script that adds extra event page conditions. I made one of those here: LINK

 

With the extra conditions script you'd do something like this:

Comment: EXTRA_CONDITIONS

Comment: CONDITION: $game_achievements[x] == true/false

Comment: END_CONDITIONS

I have a problem. I added the Core, Menu Organizer and Achievement Script to the materials section but this error message appears every time. I didn't changed anything and don't have any other Scripts in my game now.

 

How I can fix that?

You need to put the CSCA Core script above all other CSCA Scripts in your materials section.

Thanks!

@Caspar667 Can you post a picture of how you set up the multiple achievements that track step? I still cannot get it right.

[Derto 0]

Hi. I have some other question.

I don't want to show the current (0/5) progress in my achievements. Is this possible? 

And my other question: How I change the name "Achievements" in something else?

[+ DarthVollis 59]

Look through the script until you find the word Achievements in purple. Change the word to whatever you want but make sure to leave the Quotation Marks.

Here's how I set it up:

[TheDr 0]

I got a question for anyone who can help me. I'm not great with variables and such yet so maybe that's where I'm going wrong but what I'm doing is trying to get the achievements to track. I tried what Nemesis said about creating a variable for a chest and changing the PROGRESS to that same variable but it's still not tracking.

 

Here is my chest setup:

Here's my script setup:

 

http://i50.tinypic.com/21jorok.jpg

 

 

I must have something wrong so any help is appreciated!

[casper667 131]

@TheDr You need to put a "Control Variables" event command in the treasure chest to add 1 to variable 5 when the chest is opened.

yeah I've noticed placement for this script is incredibly important. I placed it above all other scripts and it suddenly worked. I wasn't really suprised with the incompatibility. I had around 40 scripts above it originally.

Hey there, awesome script. Was in the middle of doing something myself but this is much better

I just have one question. I am using Moghunter's wallpaper ex script here;

This displays some animation and a picture in the background of the menu. When I enter the achievements section from the menu I lost the background image/window opacity/animation.

Is there a way to allow the things from Mog's script to carry over into the achievement windows? Thanks.

You could try placing this at the end of Moghunter's script:

 

#==============================================================================
# â— CSCA Scene Achievements
#==============================================================================
class CSCA_Scene_Achievements < Scene_MenuBase
  include WALLPAPER_EX

  alias mog_layout_ex_start start
  def start
      mog_layout_ex_start
      set_window_opacity
  end  
end

I'm a big newbie when it comes to scripting and this was driving me up the wall as to why opening the treasure chest wasn't counting towards the achievement.  After about an hour I finally noticed it (can't believe it took me so long, I knew something didn't look right in the game, lol.)

 

 

 

 

    #=======================================================================#
    # Achievement Setup                                                     #
    #=======================================================================#
    #ACHIEVEMENT[x] = ["Name After Unlock","Name Before Unlock"(optional),
    #Description, Description after unlock(optional),progress tracking(optional),
    #reward(optional),popup graphic(optional), points worth, completion icon,
    #incomplete icon]
    # If you are not using an optional feature, write: nil
    ACHIEVEMENTS[0] = ["Treasure Hunter","???",DESCRIPTION[0],DESCRIPTION[1],
                      PROGRESS[2],REWARDS[0],nil, 5, 621, 622]
 

 

 

 

 

It's following progress 2 instead of prgoress 0.  lol

Updated to add support for CSCA Currency System.

[Tatsuki 1]

I'm having a bit of a problem with this script...

Namely, it's causing me an immense amount of lag.

And yes, I'm pretty sure that it's this script because deleting it causes the lag to disappear.

I've added 20 Achievements, but this pretty much only covers the "Rank E" section of my game (which I'll be releasing as a demo to the game, which is why some of the values seem a bit low). I'm shooting for around 100 in the final game... but if the game is chugging at only 20 things being tracked... I think this is going to be a problem...

Here's a list of what I have:

(Also note that I call the Encyclopedia the "Completion Log" in my game, so that's what those Achievements are for.)

 

 

Any idea what could be causing all this lag? Is it just because of the sheer amount of things being tracked? Is it maybe because of placement in the Materials list? What else could be the cause?

[Gleason 15]

@Tatsuki: Those are just descriptions; text calls, if you will. That shouldn't be causing any lag. Do you have a LOT of other scripts running, or are there many parallel process events running on the map you're checking the Achievement script on? Also, if there's a lot of common event checks (I know that's not common anymore past 2k3 but still) that could be causing the lag, too.

 

Finally, do you surpass the specs needed to run RPG Maker VX Ace? I know it's not terribly difficult to run, but if you have an older computer it's possible.

Also, even though older OS let you open the engine fine, XP and older OS absolutely -hate- test play / playing a game for some reason.

1. Well, I know THOSE are just descriptions. But I have all the Achievements set up fully.

2. I do have a LOT of scripts, but when I remove the Achievements script (and ONLY the Achievements script), everything returns to normal speed.

3. No parallel processes whatsoever.

4. There are lots of regular events and in the screen where I get the most lag (the screen where the NPC who brings up the Achievements menu is) I have many NPCs and many of the variable calls used in my current Achievements list are called from that screen (Knight, Black Mage, 2 of the 7 party members, Rank E, Rank D and the Completion Log Achievements). However there is even some noticeable lag in screens where no Achievements are called except for the ones that are called from everywhere (like Gold).

5. The only common events I have at the moment are the ones that call class unlocks and the item to warp you back to the main town.

6. I definitely surpass the specs needed to run it. My computer is a gaming-level PC from only about a year and a half ago. Running Windows 7. I haven't had any issues with test play other than a few minor framerate hiccups in places with many NPCs, but that was slightly reduced by using Yami's Anti-Lag script.
