# This script Changes the get_off_vehcile function so players can only
# exit ships and boats if the script determines that the vehicle is at a port
# using the name of the event infront of it.
#
# The script will allow the player to leave their ship if any of the following
# are found in the event name:
# * Port
# * PORT
# * port

Author's Notes

Due to the way this is written the get on/off event command doesnt work. Then again ive never been able to get it to work even with this script.

id recomend you dont teleport players whilst there on a vehicle even withou this script it doesnt work ill find/write a workaround soon.

Looking forward to the pirate game template lol
There doesn't seem to be bugs so far.

It looks pretty good. I would say that it is worth your while to try and alias those methods though, especially the one in Game_Interpreter.


But aside from that, it is a nice, clean script. Good job ahref.

* Transports topic

By the way, you have some weird centering going on with your topic :3

Also, you have a Thanks heading with nothing under it and a thanks bulletin under Credit

Nice script.

noticed one problem, its an easy fix though, line 19 is missing the # at the beginning.
