trigger event by another key ?

[Izyees Fariz 1]

All of you know ? trigger ?

In rmxp only Action button, Player touch, Event touch, Autorun and parallel.

Is there anyway to make a key trigger like when the player pressing "S" on the event, then it will show message "Name = Amely, Age = 21" and when the player pressing "G" it will show text "Do you want to give flower to Amely ?" then when enter, it's time amely to say like "Hello, Nice to meet you !"

 

I do the player touch event then conditional branch, script 

Input.trigger?(Input::Key['S'])

but it not work. I don't know why ?

There's a lot of potential issues with that... So I'll start with the very top. Are you using the script that came with it? The regular key check is "Input.trigger?(Input::[key]), but that's limited to a select few keys. Cybersam made a script a while ago which allows for something similar to what you're after, and it's here:

 

http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/topic/2079-rgsskey-input-script-by-cybersam/

 

The instructions to what you need to do is in there. From an eventing point of view, though... You're going to have a lot of issues. Player and event touch only occur when you connect for the first time with the event. So if you walk up to the event and then press the key, nothing will happen. Here's what I'd do;

 

Event Page 1: Parallel Process: No Switches:

 

Event Page 2: Parallel Process: Self-Switch A:

In the enter area, I forgot to turn off self-switch A after the text 'enter' appears. You can delete that text, but you'll need to add "self switch: A = off" to it.

 

There's a lot you could probably do to refine it, but it works properly in its current state. You'll obviously need to screw with where I've left comments on the second page. Also, the second page loops like that to eliminate the chance of missing a key input. I hope that helps.

Input.trigger?(Input::Key['S'])

but it not work. I don't know why ?

Because you can't reference a key directly in RGSS. You just have buttons A, B, C, X, Y, Z and keys are bound to them.

so the,

Input.trigger?(Input::Key['S'])

is not the problem.

 

I haven't tested the script, but, if you aren't getting a syntax error, no, it wouldn't be the problem. You see, action button only runs the event if you're pressing enter. Even if you put eventing in to check for keys, those events only run when you press enter.

 

Player touch and event touch also only occur as soon as the player and the event touch, and then doesn't run again. What the eventing I did earlier does is check whether the player is beside the event (so the equivalent of player touch, but runs constantly when the player is beside the event), and then checks for the key press.

 

http://www.gdunlimited.net/media/uploads/manager/event-key-press-6762.zip

 

Here's the project with the event on it so you don't have to re-create what I did earlier. You can swap the script to your own version and modify the event to your liking, but that's basically the foundation of it.
