# Instructions
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below â–¼ Materials but above â–¼ Main. Remember to save.
#
# Use the call script to use this script.
#
# setSelfSwitch (map, id, A-D, true/false)
# isSelfSwitch?(map, id, A-D, true)
# setAllSelf(map, id, true/false)
#
# Note: You can use @map_id if you change the self switches on the same map.
#
# Example 1: setSelfSwitch(@map_id, 1, "A", true)
# This will change the Self Switch "A" of event ID 1 to true on current map.
# Example 2: setSelfSwitch(2, 1, "A", false)
# This will change the Self Switch "A" of event ID 1 to false on map id 2.
#
# You can also check if Self Switch is true/false.
# Example: isSelfSwitch?(2, 1, "A") # Is event_id 1 true on map id 2?
# Example: !isSelfSwitch?(@map_id, 1, "A") # Is event_id 1 false on current map?
# Put this in a Conditional Branch.
#
# Last but not least you can turn all Self Switches to true/false.
# Example 1: setAllSelf(2, 1, true) Set all of event id 1 true on map id 2.
# Example 2: setAllSelf(@map_id, 1, true) Set all of event id 1 to true on current map.

Released 1.0a. Should be pretty easy now changing a self switch on another map.

Nice script you got there. I love Self Switch scripts because I hate using control switches for simple things Self Switches can fix.

Definitely using this.

@rgangsta: Thanks. I've updated it now too since I forgot to add the option to change self switches on another map.

[BulletPlus 7]

a very useful script. thank you.

[Chantal 21]

One of the most usefull scripts out there. To be honest I'm having difficulty understanding why RPG Maker doesn't come with this function build in.

Thank you for making this

[Tsukihime 1,487]

They do. They give you 4 self-switches lol

[Nicke 150]

I think he meant the options to do as the script I made. That it should have been in the default scripts already.

I think he meant the options to do as the script I made. That it should have been in the default scripts already.

But it's not really that different from what's already built in, right?

 

$game_self_switches[map_id,event_id,switch] = true/false

Isn't that much harder to type out than

 

setSelfSwitch(map, eID, selfSwitch, trueFalse)

 

Still pretty useful for those who don't know the syntax, though.

Yeah I guess. But I found it easier using my script if you want to change an events self switch on another map

[KayDgirl91 99]

I love this script! So useful! Got a question though, would it be possible to make it so with a script call command you could make it so it changes all self switches based on mapID to false/true? Instead of having to specify every single event you want to change the self switch for?

 

Edit: 

For example: setAllSelf(8, false)

 

Instead of

setAllSelf(8, 1, false)

setAllSelf(8, 2, false)

setAllSelf(8, 3, false)

setAllSelf(8, 4, false)

Etc.

Because I have a lot of events (30+) on almost every map (planning a couple hundred.) in my project that I have reset when you leave that map. And having to type in that same script call for every event is very time consuming.

I need help, when the script command was activated and I went to the map where the events were supposed to be, they dissapeared and wouldn't come back no matter what.

they would only be their before the command is turned on, but permanently dissapear after
