Hi all,
(I hope you understand everything - my English isn't perfect.)
I use Yanfly's Variable Controlled Encounters and changed it a bit.
Here is the Code:
#===============================================================================
#
# Yanfly Engine RD - Variable Controlled Encounters
# Last Date Updated: 2009.04.20
# Level: Normal
#
# I got tired of terrible encounter rates when you would set the average rate
# to roughly "30" steps and every 4 steps, the game would enter a battle so I
# made this to augment the rate battles would appear and to give me more control
# over them. The control that's given are the number of times the steps are
# rolled before making an average, the minimum number of steps that are free of
# battle, the percentage rate of the encounters that is free of battle, and if
# used, an event variable to modify the encounter rate.
#
# In addition to that, I've recreated a system similar to the Pokemon Repel item
# which gets rid of encounters so long as the Repel item isn't spent. Note that
# this isn't anything too special, but it's something extra to stick into this
# script. Repel is bound to an event variable so that the player doesn't have to
# throw in extra coding to modify the Repel value. Just modify it through the
# event editor. Simple as that.
#
# Also, for the opposite of Repel, there is a lure variable. Although rather
# than initiating a battle every step, lure will cut down the encounter count
# by a certain amount, which can be controlled from within the game.
#
#===============================================================================
# Instructions
#===============================================================================
#
# By default, the variables are as follows:
#
# THE_STEPS_VARIABLE = Variable 61 = Bonus steps added upon encounter. This
# adds a control to the randomization.
# STEPS_REMAINING_VAR = Variable 62 = Steps remaining before battle. This can be
# calculated with or without the repel
# variable. Used for debugging purposes.
# REPEL_VARIABLE = Variable 63 = Used like it is in Pokemon. How many steps
# does the player get free of battles.
# LURE_VARIABLE = Variable 64 = Used similar to the Repel variable. It
# lowers the encounter countdown which uses
# the following two variables to modify.
# LURE_DIV_VAR = Variable 65 = Divides the encounter countdown by this
# amount. Ignored if it's equal to zero.
# LURE_SUB_VAR = Variable 66 = Subtracts the encounter countdown by
# this amount. Make it negative to raise the
# countdown timer if you want to do that
# instead for whatever reason.
#
# Change the variables in the event editor to alter the encounter rates in your
# game. They will internally affect the game through external means.
#

# These are modifiers for the default encounter countdown reduction.
# Bush values are at the center of an autotile and not necessarily inside
# something that looks like a bush. Well, now you can modify it.

# The number of times the encounter steps/3 are rolled.
# Note: Setting this value to 0 will make your computer explode.
STEPS_ROLLED = 2
# This is the minimum amount of steps the player would have free of
# encounters after a battle.
MINIMUM_STEPS_FREE = 5
# This is a percent of the map's encounter rate that the player would
# get free after a battle. A value of 10 would be 10% of the rate. A
# map with 30 steps an encounter rate would get an additional 3 steps
# free of encounters.
PERCENT_RATE_FREE = 10
# If this is set to true, it will designate an event variable to modify
# the encounter rate. The encounter rate would be added by however much
# the variable equals. The variable can be set to a negative value to
# raise the encounter rate if needed.
USE_STEPS_VARIABLE = true # Needs to be set to true for next to work.
THE_STEPS_VARIABLE = 32 # Number of steps modified to encounter.
# For debugging purposes, you can use this variable to keep track of how
# many steps are remaining before a battle will ensue.
STEPS_REMAINING_VAR = 33
TOTAL_WITH_REPEL = false # Set this to true to total it with Repel.
# This is the Repel Variable. If this value is above zero, it will not
# allow the encounter countdown to drop by even one step.
REPEL_VARIABLE = 34
# This is the Lure Variable and the variables that modify the encounter
# rate. The DIV_VAR divides the encounter countdown by its value while
# the SUB_VAR subtracts it by its value.
LURE_VARIABLE = 35 # This is the variable representing the steps.
LURE_DIV_VAR = 36 # This is the variable dividing the countdown.
LURE_SUB_VAR = 37 # This is the variable subtracting the steps.

I changed the formula for the Encounters and some little stuff.
My Question is about the Line:
$game_temp.common_event_id = 40 if $game_variables[YE::EVENT::VARIABLE::LURE_VARIABLE] == 1
And
$game_temp.common_event_id = 40 if $game_variables[YE::EVENT::VARIABLE::REPEL_VARIABLE] == 1
It's in the "Update Encounter" part.
The Original RPG-Project where this script was in had no Common Events. Is there any sense about this?
When yes can someone try to explain it to me?
Thank you.
