Pause all events

[corpsegirl 0]

Just need ot pause all the events on the screen from moving while another event is active. Not really sure how to easily accomplish this.

I think in the earlier versions of RPG Maker there was a command that said "Stop all Movement", however they seemed to remove it from this version. Either that, or I'm missing something. I figure you'd just have to make a universal event that turns off all the moving events. That's said, it will most likely cause movement errors if you restart them.

Just wrote this quick snippet up and it seems to work pretty well. Insert the following script before Main:

 

 

class Game_Event < Game_Character
 attr_reader :id
 attr_accessor :paused
 alias :pausing_update :update
 alias :pausing_initialize :initialize

 def initialize(map_id, event)
   pausing_initialize(map_id, event)
   @paused = false
 end

 def update
   if (@paused == false || @paused == nil)
     pausing_update
   end
 end
end

class Game_Map
 def pause_events(eventid, val)
   for i in @map.events.keys
     unless i == eventid
       @events[i].paused = val
     end
   end
 end
end

 

 

To pause all other events but the current one, add a script command:

$game_map.pause_events(@event_id, true)

 

To restart the events, add a script command

$game_map.pause_events(@event_id, false)

Thank you so much for the script.

Hmmm I am not sure if this would work but maybe...Maybe you could use the Exit Event Proccesing Event on each event with a time event? Idk maybe...Or I could be generous and make you a script...Oh that dude already had one... :unsure:

Switches my friend, switches.

 

If you need a demo just ask.
