# More Self-Switches (VX Ace Edition)
# Version 1.0
# Author game_guy
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Intro:
# Ever need more than 4 self switches? With this small script, you can now
# have as many self switches you want. You aren't just limited to letters
# either. You can have names for them.
#
# Features:
# -More Self Switches
# -Name them whatever
#
# Instructions:
# -First, lets create a self switch for our event. Anywhere in the event, add
# a comment and type this,
# Switch:switch_name.
# switch_name can be whatever you want to name the switch. Thats all you have
# to do to create a self switch for that page.
# There cannot be any spaces between the colon and the switch name.
# e.g. Switch: switch - Does not work.
# e.g. Switch:switch - Does work.
#
# -Now to turn this switch of or on, call this in a script call.
# self_switch("switch", true/false)
# switch is the switch name, this must be in double " " or single ' ' quotes.
# true/false tells the script whether to turn it off or on. true = on,
# false = off.
#
# -If you want to see if a self switch is on/off, use this script in a
# condtional branch.
# self_switch_state("switch") == true/false
# switch is the switch name, this must be in double " " or single ' ' quotes.
# true = on, false = off
#
# Compatibility:
# Should work with anything.

Author's Notes

Enjoy!

The game crashes if an event has an empty comment.

To avoid that, I edited the check_custom_switch method

Code Select Expand

def check_custom_switch(page, code)
    a = code.split(':')
    if !a[0].nil? && a[0].downcase == "switch" && a[1] != nil # Edited this line
      page.condition.self_switch_ch = a[1] 
      page.condition.self_switch_valid = true
    end
  end

Thanks, added in the fix, though I'm gonna be honest, I don't see why you'd leave an empty comment in an event. But oh well. Thanks. :3

It wasn't on purpose. I left there on accident after editing an event many times. I just figured I should fix it to make the code more robust. =)
