Dash Script, why can't I alter the current run points please?

[neiljwd 0]

WAIT  I think Im jsut REALLY REALLy Stupid.

Don't think there was ever a problem just me being a mong.

 

I thought $game_player.run_points =350 was setting the MAX... but it wasn't it was jsut boosting the current to 350, PAST the max, so allowing me to run longer thinking the max was changed. Me sorry for wasting your time.

Using a Night Runner modified Dash script, originally StandWalkRun by Synthesize I  think, I can press a key and Run Faster- I know how to use a script call to increase my Max Run Points permananently.

$game_player.run_points = 350

This sets the max run points to 350, from 100 -Line 17 in Script below.

However What I want to achieve is a script call to increase the players CURRENT run points, but not over the max.

 

Say for instance They have 350 max run points, sprint through 300 leaving them at 50/350 Run Points, I''d like a script call that say adds +75 current Run Points, leaving them at 125/350.

 

Can anyone help please?

Do this :

$game_player.run_points += X
if $game_player.run_points > 350
$game_player.run_points = 350
end

Change the X into any amount you'd like and the run points will never go beyond 350.

Hope this helps. :)

Thank you for the contribution black mage. :)

But I also want to be able to change my max run points through out the course of the game, as the player levels up. So won't be set  at 350 all the time.

I guess I'm gonna have to intergrate a variable that monitors the max Run Points and just go from there.... I guess?

 

No idea on scripts, I jsut hink it's something that

 

$game_player.run_points

&

$game_player.max_run_points

 

Need to be seperately defined as intergers/values when called in the game, at the moment one seems to equal the other in game.

... Though the script seems know the difference between them as it differentiates in the restore section. :S

Yeah, let's say that we have the variable for max Run Points as $MAX, and this variable ammount will be increased when the character leveled up. Then the code will be :

$game_player.run_points += X
if $game_player.run_points > $MAX
$game_player.run_points = $MAX
end

I think this will work just fine :)

Thank you again! handy catching you, could you just spell it out for a noob where I should bob that little code snippet. Please. :)

 

Or is that what I should be putting in my event Script call? My heads spinning with this at the moment sorry.

[black mage 28]

Yeah, you just need to put that codes in your event Script call. :)

Oh I tried that but I got a fixnum error, screenshot, so figured I was being even more stupid than normal.

Any idead

Edited June 4, 2014 by neiljwd

It's because the script haven't define where the $MAX comes from, thus it have nil value.

You need another script or event to change the the value $MAX manualy.

 

This is a simple way for changing the current $MAX.

$MAX = Value

Change "Value" into some number that you want as the max run points.
