v20.1 HERETIC'S UNLIMITED EVENT PAGE CONDITION for PKMN Essentials 1.0

This resource pertains to version 20.1 of Pokémon Essentials.
Pokémon Essentials Version
v20.1 ➖
Also compatible with
  1. v21.1
  2. v21
  3. v20.1
Note: This plugin was made by Heretic, the original post is here, all I did was change literally just one line that makes it compatible with Pokémon Essentials, I tested this on v20.1 but it will most likely work on other versions, if it doesn't then try the old version in the original post. If it does work with other versions besides v20.1 please tell me so I can add that to the compatibility list. Make a new save when you add this plugin to your game.

Heretic's Unlimited Event Page Conditions:

Authors: Heretic
Version: 1.0
Type: Event Add-on
Key Term: Misc Add-on

Introduction

Event Page Conditions in RPG Maker XP are quite limited. They only allow you to pick from 2 Game Swithces, check if a Variable is equal to or greater than a specified value, or a single Self Switch. This script throws that ALL out the front door and allows you to create Unlimited Page Conditions by using Scripts to be a Condition! Thus, literally anything that can be evaluated in a Script can be a Page Condition!

Most things can be achieved by using a Parallel Event, then checking a Conditional Branch -> Script, then enabling a Game Switch or some other way to make an Event Page active. Thats great and all, but this makes things a lot simpler and does not eat up Game Switches or require additional work to make Pages become Active.

Features
  • Fully unlocks Event Page Conditions, that is a pretty big feature
  • Evaluations can be Skipped if needed
Instructions

To add a Page Condition for an Event, simply put in a Comment followed by your Script Condition:

@>Comment: Condition: $game_player.direction == 2

To override Script Evaluation temporarily, add a \skip_eval Comment to that Event Page, which can be turned off later with a Script Call. This is useful for Events whose Pages you don't want to change until the Event has finished doing what ever its doing.

Author's Notes

This is more of an Event Add-on, as it enhances the functionality of Events, but might also qualify as an Environment Add-on.

Anything that can be scripted can be evaluated. That being said, the evaluations may not fit in the Comment Box. This can be easily resolved with custom Methods. If you need help with creating a Custom Condition, feel free to ask any Scripter.

NOTE: All Evaluations should evaluate to true / false. Don't forget to leave off the word "if" in your evaluations. Use "[imath]foo ==[/imath]bar" instead of "if [imath]foo ==[/imath]bar".

#           HERETIC'S UNLIMITED EVENT PAGE CONDITIONS [XP]
#           Version - 1.0
#           Monday, August 8th, 2016
#
#==============================================================================
#
#  ---  Overview  ---
#
#  This script will allow you to use Scripts as a Page Condition!  
#
#  This completely unlocks the functionality of Page Conditions, which now have
#  absolutely NO LIMITS!  For example, the Default Page Conditions allow
#  you to check a Game Variable, and the Page is only active if that
#  Game Variable is equal to or greater than what ever number you put there.
#  But, you could not check if the Game Variable was equal to or less than!
#  Now you can easily make Game Variable Less Than a Page Condition!
#
#  ---  Installation  ---
#
#  Place above Main and below Scene Debug.  Place below the SDK if used.
#
#  ---  Instructions  ---
#
#  Add a Comment to an Event says "Condition:" followed by a Script Condition.
#
#  Example 1:
#  @>Comment: Condition: $foo == $bar
#
#  Example 2:
#  @>Comment: Condition: $game_player.direction == 2 and $game_switches[12]
#
#  Example 3:
#  @>Comment: Condition: $game_player.moving? and $game_switches[12] and
#           : (not $game_system.map_interpreter.running? or $foo == $bar)
#
#  Example 4: (Not every line needs to be dedicated to evaluation.)
#  @>Comment: Condition: p = $game_player
#           : p.direction != 2
#
#  Example 5: (Comments within Comments work too, note the # Character)
#  @>Comment: Condition: p = $game_player
#           : # If Player is facing Down
#           : p.direction == 2
#
#  ---  Common Events  ----
#
#  This script does NOT affect Common Events, ONLY Map Events.
#
#  ---  Battle Event Pages  ---
#
#  This script does NOT affect Battle Event Page Conditions.  I wrote another
#  script for Battle Event Pages already.  
#
#  That script is called "Unlimited Battle Page Conditions" and is available
#  as one of my many scripts in Heretic's Collection.
#
#  ---  Multi Line Support  ---
#
#  You can extend your scripts to Multiple Lines of Comment Boxes!  The
#  Comment Box should be plenty big enough to hold your text!  Besides
#  that, you're using Script Calls, so if you can't fit your text into
#  one Box, you can write a Method that returns true or false and plug
#  that into your own script!
#
#  You can have Multiple Conditions also, each in their own Comment Box.
#
#
#  ---  Self Switches  ---
#
#  This script doesn't interfere with the use of Self Switches (ABCD).  Feel
#  free to combine both Self Switches and Script Conditions.
#
#
#  ---  Skipping Evaluation  ---
#
#  There may be certain conditions when you do NOT want a certain Page to
#  evaulate its Script Conditions.  For example, running an Event and you
#  don't want the Page to change until it is done doing its thing.  You
#  can turn Script Evaluation ON or OFF by either a Script Call or with
#  a Comment.  It is intended to use BOTH in conjunction with each other.
#  Basically, it gives you more control over when Scripts are evaluated.
#
#  To temporarily prevent a Page from executing its Script Conditions, simply
#  add a Comment to the Event's Page that reads:
#
#  @>Comment: \skip_eval
#
#  This is intended to be turned OFF with a Script Call or Move Route.
#
#  @>Script: $game_map.events[id].skip_eval = true / false
#  @>Set Move Route: This Event
#                  : $>Script: self.skip_eval = false
#                  : $>Script: skip_eval=(false)
#
#  NOTE: The Page MUST BE ACTIVE to change Skip Eval or else you will set
#        the Skip Eval on the WRONG PAGE.
#
#  NOTE: Once Skip Eval has been changed, it will retain the state you set
#        until the Map has been left entirely and transferred back to.  This
#        includes going into Battle Scenes.  The value of Skip Eval will be
#        remembered even after Battles are exited, but RESET if you leave
#        the Map and come back to this Map.
#
#
#  ---  Performance  ---
#
#  Each Script Condition is evaluated once per frame so don't go crazy using
#  too many Script Conditions, or at least make sure they evaluate quickly.
#  Script Conditions all evaluated on each Map.  Thus, if you have many maps
#  but only a few maps that use Script Conditions, don't worry too much.  You
#  may see performance issues if you use lots and lots of Script Conditions
#  on the same map.  This does end up being tons faster than using multiple
#  Parallel Events for very specific purposes however.
#
#
#  ---  Compatability  ---
#
#  This script may have some compatability issues with other scripts that
#  modify the RPG::Event::Page::Conditions class.  It has been tested with
#  More Self-Switches by Gameus / Game Guy and although only briefly tested
#  appears to work just fine.  This script works by replacing attr_accessor
#  methods with my custom definitions.  Instead of returning a property of
#  an object, it now uses self_switch_valid and self_switch_ch as getter
#  methods which consider if Script Conditions are being used.
#
#  It should also work just fine with Optimization Scripts as evaluation of
#  the Script Conditions is handled outside of Event and Game Map update
#  methods entirely.
#
#
#  ---  Legal  ---
#
#  You may distribute this script on websites in the scripts unaltered form.
#
#  You may use this script in Commercial or Non Commercial projects without
#  compensation as long as you give me credit for the use of my scripts.
#
#
#  ---  Config  ---
#
#  This script has no configurable Options.
