[RESOLVED] how do you call a common event with script?

[shintashi]

this is probably a snippet request.

I'm currently testing

Code Select Expand


p $data_common_events[1].name


with success, but I haven't figured out how to actually trigger the event yet. Somehow I think the answer is in this mess,

Code Select Expand


  def command_117
    # Get common event
    common_event = $data_common_events[@parameters[0]]
    # If common event is valid
    if common_event != nil
      # Make child interpreter
      @child_interpreter = Interpreter.new(@depth + 1)
      @child_interpreter.setup(common_event.list, @event_id)
    end
    # Continue
    return true
  end


but I'm not sure which parts to keep and which parts to throw out.

$game_temp.common_event_id = 1

This works at least for script in regular events, but it does not do anything when called during the script editor from a class. I recognize the 'A" or "C" button is essentially activating it in events, so that the common even is activated by pushing space bar, talking to the event, etc., but I have yet to figure out the code that is connecting the snippet above to my keyboard actions. Literally, my "make it so" command is not working.

so far I've able to determine the script that works inside a regular event, to call a common event, does not work inside something like

Code Select Expand

if Input.trigger?(32) #spacebar
$game_temp.common_event_id = 1
end


Although something like this

Code Select Expand


if Input.trigger?(32) #spacebar
    p $data_common_events[1].name
end


works fine, in determining the label of the common event. That's kind of odd because as I've said before, in eventing,

Code Select Expand


$game_temp.common_event_id = 1


Runs common event #1 efficiently and effectively, as if I had called it using stock eventing commands.

I found this on the interwebs

Code Select Expand

   1. # If On Map : Replace id with common event id
   2. $game_temp.common_event_id = id
   3. # If in Battle : Replace id with common event id
   4. common_event = $data_common_events[id]
   5. $game_system.battle_interpreter.setup(common_event.list, 0)

line 2 definitely looks like what I came up with, and lines 4 & 5 look new, so i'll test those later today, but I've got classes in a few minutes so it will have to wait.

ive checked it and it appears lines 4 and 5 work
