Orange Custom Events 1.1 HudellIntroduction This plugin Will let you add or copy events from any map to the current map How to Use To copy an event from the same map: Script Call: Code: $gameMap.copyEvent(1, 15, 20, true); Plugin Command: Code: copy event 1 to position 15 20 This will copy event 1 to position 15, 20. The "true" at the end indicates that the event should not be re-added automatically when the player leaves the map and comes back. To make the plugin save the event, change it to false on the script call or add "SAVE" at the end of the plugin command. To copy an event from another map: Script Call: Code: $gameMap.copyEventFrom(5, 1, 15, 20, true) Plugin Command: Code: copy event 1 from map 5 to position 15 20 This will copy event 1 from map 5 to position 15, 20 on the current map. To copy an event from the same map to a random tile of a specific region: Script Call: Code: $gameMap.copyEventToRegion(1, 2, true); Plugin Command: Code: copy event 1 to region 2 where: 1 = Event ID; 2 = Region Number; true = temporary event. To copy an event from another map to a random tile of a specific region: Script Call: Code: $gameMap.copyEventFromMapToRegion(5, 1, 2, true); Plugin Command: Code: copy event 1 from map 5 to region 2 This will copy event 1 from map 5 to a random tile with region 2 on the current map. To fill a region with an event from the same map: Script Call: Code: $gameMap.spawnMapEvent(1, 2, true); Plugin Command: Code: spawn event 1 on region 2 This will copy event 1 from the current map and add it to every tile with the region 2. To fill a region with an event from another map: Script Call: Code: $gameMap.spawnMapEventFrom(5, 1, 2, true); Plugin Command: Code: spawn event 1 from map 5 on region 2 This will copy event 1 from map 5 and add it to every tile with the region 2 on the current map. To permanently delete a copied event, use the following plugin command: Code: delete this event Plugin Get it from here Dependencies None. FAQ I'll keep a small FAQ here for easy reference.

ICIC... yes you're right... my plugin save the map event in $gameSystem. and use that event instead reloading the map. so when there's changes happen in editor.. it won't be loaded at all. and use saved event instead :D . so if you add new event in editor... you either need to start new game. or erase 'saved event' for that map so it will reload from map data (it reminds me... to create plugins command for that :D ). it would be bad if we want to release Patch / DLC for the game and requiring to restart from new game... :D ... i might need to find improved approach for this :D . maybe some variables again for marking which event is New Generated for that map and option to keep them when deleting 'saved event' while also reindexing the duplicate id....
I'm also saving on the $gameSystem... Well, I can just assign a different ID to the event when loading it from there. I'll make some tests with that.

maybe there's some code that iterate 1 to event id and 1 to 1000++ is lots of iteration...

from what i see in pathfinder plugin... there's no such iteration... but maybe there's a function called by the plugin which have that iteration (would be harder to trace)

i tested by changing + 1000 with + 50 and the lag is gone.

in my plugin i detect the next event id instead.

event id currently exist on map: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10,11

next id generated will be 7. then 8. then 12.

thus no fps loss
Are you sure this made a difference? I made some tests and noticed that even though the ID is, let's say, 1014, the event is added at position 14 of the array, so it couldn't possibly cause any lag. There's no iteration like that.
Edit: Can you guys check if the same lag occurs with Orange Move Character To? I believe it now includes all the features from Shaz's plugin too.

i tested using Orange Move Character To? (i disabled shaz Pathfinder to make sure nothing conflicting).

i create a small map (17x13). add 7 event. then add new event using script call:

$gameMap.copyEventFrom(8, 1, 1, 1, false)or plugin command (i try both to make sure not the plugin command interpreter code make it wrong)

copy event 3 from map 8 to position 15 4 savethen i call the moveto command:

move event 7 to player and followthe result... fps loss when that event move. (not as noticeable as shaz... but still stutter the graphic a little bit)

Pathfinder lowest fps 14

Orange Moveto lowest fps 27

and then i try changing your +1000 to +50...

Pathfinder lowest fps 46 (it rarely... usually it's above 48)

Orange Moveto lowest fps 49 (it rarely... usually it's above 50)

hope this test help :D .

edit: first of all... hope you don't misunderstand this is as bragging... >.< just want to give more input to the test.

using my plugin. with same event number. (add one event)

Pathfinder lowest fps 53

Orange Moveto lowest fps 58

even when i add 40 more new added event using my plugin (not from editor)

Pathfinder lowest fps 43 (rarely 43 though... it usually higer. it's the lowest)

Orange Moveto lowest fps 46 (rarely 46 though... it usually higer. it's the lowest)

so... the conclusion... event id is somehow affecting both pathfinding somehow.

my 7+40 event will have the event id of around 48. and your plugin with one event but changed to +50 will have event id around 51

the fps range is almost the same (40 fps range). the 7 +40 event having lower fps because it actually have more events. so lower fps is expected.

btw maybe i will switch to your Orange Moveto from shaz. since the test result is less fps loss. :D .

also... it support inside move route !!!

hope this test help finding the culprit :D .

I finally managed to see the lag here. Will fix it soon :)

Edit: fixed.

Thanks for all the input. I changed the copied events to get a new ID everytime they are loaded on the map. This way we shouldn't have issues when loading the game.

nice... the fps drop is gone. :D . i guess the culprit is really event id... i'm a bit curious about this :D .

edit:

hahahahahaha.... found the culprit...

i try adding event with id 1000

and when i print to console.

$gameMap._events

it have length of 1001 !!!!!!!!

.length will become the highest id + 1... omg...

It's like you said... When I create an event with ID 1014, it adds 1000 empty items on the array, just so that the event has it's own ID as it's index.
I hadn't noticed earlier because I was calling map.events() instead of map._events and the first one is already filtered.

i will have to remember this... i'm new in JS. so this kind of things can wreck what i imagine in my head :D .

I wish I had been here to partake in this conversation >~<

Anyways, the lag with PathFinder is indeed gone, and events are correctly copied and erased. I played with it a bit and couldn't find anything that wasn't working. So I guess the bugs are squished now.

Thanks again you two! I really appreciate your work and scripts, as without them, what I wanted to do would have been impossible. (Making a system which heavily relies on being able to copy/delete events)

I created a parallel event (EV001) in Map 2 (Start time - Erase event).

The player is in the map 1 and a parallel event (EV001) in Map 1 is:

but show me the error message:

I can't solve.
Can you help me?

Can you check if there's any extra information on the console?

You can check the console by pressing F8.

Apparently your MVCommons download got corrupted. Download it from this link.

Oh, thank you! Now works!
This script is super useful! ^ ^

I also noticed you renamed the SuperOrangeMovementEx.js to OrangePixelMovement.js

Plugins with renamed files won't load their params properly. Other scripters have created a way to load the params regardless of the filename, but I haven't changed my plugins to use that yet.

Hey can I suggest a small change, this doesn't currently return the new event after it's been made, in the functions such as Game_Map.prototype.addEventAt or Game_Map.prototype.copyEventFrom and you add a return to it so we can have the event after its been made :)

Yup, I added the return to addEventAt, but the copyEventFrom is async, so I can't add it there.

Ok i didn't see that it was async, thats why there was a delay before i could get the event from $gameMap.events, that makes sense. Thanks though I'll be sure to use addEventAt :)

you should write this script without the use of mvcommon xD

Installed mvcommon, installed it correctly top the very top. still gives: Uncaught Error: This library needs MVCommons to work properly!.

and mvcommon gives no parameter errors for all other scripts, I think you should move away from it until they fix it

I love your plugin. I didn't see a plugin command to copy an event from one map to here, but I tried it anyways and it worked. SO happy. Your plugin just made my farming system doable. Thank you.

Would it be possible to add a plugin command that copies one event from another map to the location of the event your using and have the event your using be deleted? Kinda like a override feature? Or is there a simple delete event feature I'm not seeing. I have crops that will take several days to grow so I don't want the event to be temporary, but I will need it to be deleted later down the line.

edit: I found the command. I'm sorry. I had to reread this thread several times to find it. It was "Delete this event".
