Resource Event Indicators 1.1.1

wrigty12 submitted a new resource:

Event Indicators - Add graphics above NPCs (like quest indicators)

A lot of games have icons and such above NPCs when it has a special interaction. While there are some workarounds to add these in RPGMaker/Pokemon Essentials, they can be clunky. This plugin adds the ability to have graphics appear above an event to add these types of icons.

Features

• Add any graphic you can imagine above an event. This can be quest indicators, persistent emojis, "I can talk to you" callouts, you name it.
• Each indicator is added to an event using a...

This is a resource I've been looking for! I'm assuming you made it as event page reliant because only the first comment of that variety will show on the page, right? Because while adding a conditional parameter for whether it shows or now was simple, having it show different graphics depnding on said conditional isn't.

Having the definition be a Comment is an easy way for something within an event "run" without running the event. The original suggestion was having something in the name be the definition, but then it limits it to one indicator for the entire event. Comments per page add a lot more flexibility.

Hmm that looks correct. I never saw this crash when testing though, but I did see a few others that I fixed.

Did you change the settings for the plugin at all? Specifically the x and y adjustment ones?

nope, i just installed the plugin and try to test it

I guess I can just keep adding nil checks.

Can you open the 001_Script file in the plugin, and edit lines 104 and 105...

            @x_adj += params[1][0]
            @y_adj += params[1][1]

to look like this...

            @x_adj += params[1][0] if params[1] && params[1][0] && params[1][0].is_a?(Integer)
            @y_adj += params[1][1] if params[1] && params[1][1] && params[1][1].is_a?(Integer)

That's.... Very weird. Before line 104, can you add a new line

echoln params

and when it crashes, show me what the console says?

This could be related to the above issue. For some reason, when trying to read lines like quest, it'll also read lines below that even if there are no comment lines. If there are none, the parameters become the lines of code beneath it. In that third image for example, nono would be the parameter for the x/y shift.

Aha I think I know why. I'm using a command that is in vanilla essentials to grab the comment, and I never explored it more than a few cases. Interesting that that is how it works.

I'm probably going to redo how you can define x, y values then. I already have it in mind and should be a quick update later tonight.

I just wanna take a moment to thank you for your latest plugins in general. Many of the features I had implemented, that I had to work around manually (e.g. in this case manually putting indicators above event graphics) have just appeared as plugins that you've made. Thanks a lot for your work. I'll be waiting for the new update.

This script is very helpful but I've been getting a strange error when I transfer screens to a map with an event indicator. I followed the instructions on the script and didn't edit it.

It's a difficult issue because it only affects some events. Other times I can move between maps and it works fine. I'm at a total loss.

The new update seems to have fixed the crash I had. Thank you!
