Area plus
Version : 1.0 by dricc

You know about areas in rpg maker VX ? Yes , it is not very useful .

So i add 3 more features :
- The name of the area you're currently in is now displayed (only the first one if you are in two areas) .

(Translation : Traveller's street)
Of course , if the hero is not in an area , nothing is displayed .
- If you put "[AREA]" in the name of the event and put this event in random move , the event will never go out the area .
This is based of the name of the area , so if you have 2 areas with exactly the same name , the event can move in both .
In the demo , some soldiers are affected to specific streets .
- The event can tell you in what area he is .

In this exemple , the variable 25 contains the name of the area .

Features to come :
- a variable length for the area window .
- Disable the area window for some maps
- possibility to display the name of the map if the player is not in any areas .
- possibility to trigger a common event when the player enter an area (this will be fine for water-type areas)

Demo and scripts :

PS : sorry , the demo is not fully translated . Ask me if you don't understand something .
PS2 : sorry for the mapping in the demo , i made this quickly ...

Version 1.1 :
Link : http://www.mediafire.com/?ltxtzdonmv4

New features :
- Can enable/disable encounters in an area .
- Can switch encounters in 2 areas
- Can put a switch on in 3 case : when you entered for the first time in an area , each time you entered in an area , each time you go out an area . In my demo , try to go on water ... try also the horse .

This looks quite useful dricc. Nice job!

I particularly like the popup name window for the area, though it might not be a bad idea to have an option for that window to disappear after a couple seconds.

In any case, it looks like a nice script. Thank you for sharing.

The name of areas is not translated but all events and the comments in the scripts are .

I got a lot of trouble with the area window . I would like to make a fading ... not simple . I am still working on it , I will maybe ask for help .
