Good night everyone,
I've been working hard on my project and almost everything is going according to plan. There are a few things I would like some help with. These are probably fairly easy to solve:
I'm using an Enemy Detection System script with which I can make events notice and chase me when I come to close. I want to change, or disable (not quite sure yet), the sound it makes when it detects me. I've gone through the script a couple of times and can't seem to find it. Does anyone know where to do this? This is the script:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Enemy Detection System
# by Gubid - 8/12/07
# v 1.2.2 Updated 10/2/07
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Description:
#This system allows events that are named something including "ENEMY" then
#that event will be told to approach Game_Player, until Game_Player has gotten
#a specified distance away. At that time event will return to its original
#position if desired. If you happen to get close enough to the returning event
#it will begin to follow you again.
#
#Thanks to Near Fantasia for supplying the slightly modified path finding script.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#if there are any questions as to the use of this script or
#modifications/additions/etc, please post it to the thread on CreationAyslum.net
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Update_Detect - How to Stop Detection if desired
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1. Within a event, add a SCRIPT (3rd page)
#2. type "update_detect(EVENT_ID, TRUE/FALSE)" -Note: it defaults to false
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#RETURN TO POSITION
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Use this to determine if you would like the event to return to its original
#position or not.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RETURN_TO_POSITION = true
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#CHASE_SPEED and ENABLE_SPEED_CHANGE
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Use this to set the speed in which enemies will approach after spotting you
#and whether or not their speed will change.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHASE_SPEED = 4
ENABLE_SPEED_CHANGE = false
CHASE_FREQUENCY = 6
ENABLE_FREQUENCY_CHANGE = true
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#VIEW_RANGE
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Use this to set the distance in which you must be in order to start the detection
#process, or escape to stop.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIEW_RANGE = 4
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#ESCAPE_RANGE
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Use this to set the distance in which you must escape to stop the detection process
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESCAPE_RANGE = 8
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Other Notes
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#If the event has a custom move route, they will resume that route when finished
#chasing you, but if you dont set RETURN_TO_POSITION, then they will resume
#their custom route at the location they stopped chasing you.

Another issue I ran into (has been bothering me everytime I used the program over the years) is the lack of information when you level up. Does anyone know a decent script I can use (compatible with ParaDog's ATB v.2.61 if possible) to make the game tell me stats increases and newly learned skills when leveling up?
How can I make the game remember event locations after leaving the map? Couldn't find any solutions on the web.
Thanks in advance! Any help with any question is welcome.
Good night all,
Erik
Edit:
Added a third issue I forgot about.
