Set variable to current Map ID

I know you can set a variable to the Map ID, my request is that a designated variable will ALWAYS carry the current Map ID value. So it's always updated and reflects the current Map ID that the player is in.


I do this to save me some effort, as I will have a common event called on every map that checks the Map ID, and I figured it'd be easier if it's already in a variable so it's automatic.

class Game_Map    alias nap_map_var_setup setup  def setup(map_id)    nap_map_var_setup(map_id)    $game_variables[1] = @map_id # <<<<<<<<<<< change [1] to the variable that you like to have set.  endendUpdate:

Here is a better one (sets the variable even before the events are created):

VARIABLE_INDEX = 1class Game_Map alias nap_map_var_setup_events setup_events def setup_events $game_variables[VARIABLE_INDEX] = @map_id nap_map_var_setup_events endendTerms: public domain or CC0

Dang, Nap beat me to it. :)

Thanks a lot Napoleon, works exactly as needed!
