Customisable House

I was wondering if there was a way to let the player customize their house. How I'd like it is they'd buy furniture from a shop, then when they're in their house if they go in to the menu it says 'My House' and then it will let them change the map and add the furniture they want. Is there anyway to do this?

You could try Titanhex's tutorial on furnitures

That's pretty good, but I want the player to be able to put things anywhere in the house, where in that script it has specific places that you can put furniture.

Well, actually, he hasn't altered any scripts. It's all pure eventing.

You can edit the events and place them in more areas of your house.

Whoa. Okay, I'll give it a try.

You can use an event spawn script or item drop script on map...

You can change an event's location on the map using $game_map.events[n].x = v1 and $game_map.events[n].y = v2, where n is an Event's ID and v1/v2 are any values you please.  I think events' locations reset each time you visit the map, so you'd probably need to remember where the player wants them and set the furniture's location accordingly, then fade in the screen.

In practice this would be fairly complicated (especially if you're worried about furniture overlapping, etc.), but it's doable.

The easier way if you have specific places where you are allowed to put furniture, and can only put one piece of furniture in a single spot at a single time, is to have invisible events in that spot with all the different possible furniture that can go there, and set a variable when the player chooses to put a certain piece of furniture in spot n.  In the event that corresponds to spot n, just make a page for each possible type of furniture that can go there, and have that page require that the variable is (#) or higher.  It'll take a while to set up, but it's relatively clean and simple.

You could also use (for single tile furinture) the grab script (I will try find source) so they can actively move things around.
