Simple Detect Script

[efeberk 84]

What is Simple Detect System?

Let's explain it. When player get closer to a specific event, player will be detected.

How Works It

Read Introductions in Script.

Note : Make Parallel Process in detector event.

Example :



Script :

# -------------------------------------------------
# Script Name : Detector
# Scripter : efeberk
# Date : 08.08.2012
# Version : RPG Maker VX Ace(RGSS3)
# Special Thanks to Bird Eater
# ------------------------------------------------
#
# Features :
#
# This script allows an event detects player when player near to event.
#
# Introductions :
#
# Make a "Conditional Branch" event command and select Script.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Script : detected?(e, d, true)
#
# e : event id
#
# 0 => Current Event
# 1+ => Event ID
#
# d => distance range from player.
#
# Example : Conditional Branch : detected?(3, 4, true)
#
# This means : returns true if distance 4 from 3. event to player and
# 3.event saw player.

#~ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#~ Script : region_reached?(a)
#~
#~ This method allows to return true if player reached a
#~ specific region ID.
#~
#~ a => region ID
#~
#~ Example : region_reached?(6)

#~ This means : True if player is on region 6.
#~
#~ -------------------------------------------------------------------------
#~ Script : saw_player?(e)
#~
#~ This method allows to return true if an event saw the player.
#~
#~ e => event ID
#~
#~ 0 = event that used script.
#~ 1+ = event ID
#~
#~ Example : saw_player?(3)
#~
#~ Returns true if 3.event saw player.


class Game_Event < Game_Character

def move_type_toward_player
if near_the_player?
move_toward_player

else
move_random
end
end
end


class Game_Interpreter

def get_event(i)
if i == 0
return $game_map.events[@event_id]
end
if i > 0
return $game_map.events[i]
end

end


def detected?(a, d, k = false)
if k == true
return distance(a, d) && saw_player?(a)
else
return distance(a, d)
end
end

def distance(a,d)
ax = (get_event(a).x - $game_player.x).abs
ay = (get_event(a).y - $game_player.y).abs
if((ax + ay) <= d)
return true
else
return false
end
end


def region_reached?(a)
if $game_player.region_id == a
return true
else
return false
end

end

def saw_player?(e)
sx = distance_x_from(e, $game_player.x)
sy = distance_y_from(e, $game_player.y)
if sx.abs > sy.abs
direction = sx > 0 ? 4 : 6
else
direction = sy > 0 ? 8 : 2
end
if (direction == get_event(e).direction)
return true
else
return false
end

end

def distance_x_from(e, x)
result = get_event(e).x - x
if $game_map.loop_horizontal? && result.abs > $game_map.width / 2
if result < 0
result += $game_map.width
else
result -= $game_map.width
end
end
result
end

def distance_y_from(e, y)
result = get_event(e).y - y
if $game_map.loop_vertical? && result.abs > $game_map.height / 2
if result < 0
result += $game_map.height
else
result -= $game_map.height
end
end
result
end

end

Is there a way to extend above this and make it to where when you reach a certain area of the gaurd he runs after you and if he caughts you then you get sent back to some point? I am sure this can all be evented.

Can "the detecter" see through wall?

Here is my script (too lazy to update the new version): http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/5464-guard-events/

It like this one, but more complex

I added a new method named "region_reached?". It may help you. Look new script.

I didn't make it but i added a new method named "saw_player?". So event detects when event just saw player.

Any creative commons license? (English: can it be used in commercial work or only free?)

[efeberk 84]

You can use it on all projects these commercial or free you want.

Sorry for necro-posting (is this necro-posting?)

 

Is it possible to make this script capable of detecting other events other than the player?  Say if we have an Enemy Event and there is a Friendly Event within the Enemy Event detection radius, then it will go after the Friendly Event?
