[XP]How do I use "View Range Script". By Near Fantastica?

[vVTalonVv 0]

A link to the code here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=30648&hilit=Near+Fantastica

 

 

I just simply do not understand what to do. I put the script into my database and named it View_Range. From there... I don't really understand what to do.

 

I've tried a few things, but they just resulted in error during a game test.

 

Help would be most appreciated.

Can you please give me the full link so i can look over the script and help you?

Yeah, Unlimited doesn't use viewtopic, so I'm assuiming it is .org...

 

 

Yeah, here it is Polraudio: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f...Near+Fantastica

Here is the instructions on how to use it.

Instructions:

 

- To call the events add this script call for other events

CODE

 

check = View_Range.new(Event ID, View Range, Local Switch)
check.event_view

 

 

This script call lets you check within the area of a circle around the event for the player or another event.

 

- To call the enemies add this script call for enemies

CODE

 

check = View_Range.new(Event ID, View Range, Local Switch)
check.enemies_view

 

 

- To call the straight veiw add this script call for enemies

CODE

 

check = View_Range.new(EventID, Veiw Range, Local Switch)
check.enemies_straight_view

 

 

This script call lets you check within the area of a semi circle in front of the event for the player if true the player is in the events view range.

 

The Syntax:

 

- Event ID is the events id which the script call is placed from

- View Range is how far the event can see

- Local Switch is which local switch you want to set on

 

The only problem i have is they didn't give a good example on how to use it.

I dont know how to get the local switch to work.

I tried all of this and i had no luck it just errors out

check = View_Range.new(1, 2, "A")
check.enemies_straight_view

check = View_Range.new(1, 2, 'A')
check.enemies_straight_view

check = View_Range.new(1, 2, A)
check.enemies_straight_view

It should work the first way but it didn't.

No clue what went wrong.

Why don't you contact the author to find out? Leon will probably save the day later...

Really sorry that I didn't post the correct link, I just copied and pasted. I apologize.

 

I've sent a message to the writer, but with no response.

[Kiriashi 117]

Hmm. Leon will see this and all will be good. I'll send him an IM when he gets on, for ya'.

Thanks. It's all just so confusing to me.

[Kiriashi 117]

yeah, no problem.

Doesn't anyone look at where topics are posted anymore? I'll admit the RGSS Support forum could be a lot easier to find, but regular members? You know where it is...

 

I'll move your topic vVTalonVv, the section you originally posted this topic in is for script submissions only.

 

 

I found something that might help you. Its the view range script, v3Gamma by DerVVulfman.
