Ships?

I'm in the process of making a ship into the game and can't get it to work, need some help with it or else my game can't go past the very beginning ><

Could you give us more details please?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. A ship event, or a ship map? If it is an event, please take screenshots of what you have so far. :)

I apologize, it's a ship event, and I dont know where my screenshots go > . <

How to take and upload images/screenshots:

What OS are you running? If you have Windows 7, you can search up "Snipping Tool" and lock it to your taskbar by right clicking it. If you do that, you can easily access it to take extremely easy screenshots and then save them to your desktop as PNG/JPEG. If you don't have Snipping Tool, you can press the "print screen" button on your keyboard—assuming you have one—and then open up Paint, a common graphics program on Windows programs. Once in there, you can either go to the paste button or press CTRL+V and it will paste your screenshot. Next, save the image to your desktop. Once you have your screenshots, go to Tinypic.com or another image uploading site and upload your image and then paste the image here for us to see.

I will also need to know some details of what you are attempting. Is it a simple screen showing a ship sailing, or...?

You know the sample map on here? Well I want my ships, boats, airships, etc. to work like those, in that the player controls them.

I am afraid I do not know about the sample map. But I think I know what you mean. You want the player to control the ship as if it was the character graphic, right? Like common Final Fantasy titles, correct?

Exactly.

Get to me when you can, It's not a hgue rush to be honest, I have a ton of stuff I have to work on anyway x.x 5 more islands, maybe..10+ more dungeons, and atleast 12 towns so if you need to take your time feel free :p

Well, in that case, I found a very helpful tutorial on ship creation and whatnot! :) Here is the link to the tutorial:

Boat/Ship Tutorial

It should help you, especially since its basically same in regards to having to speak with a King and whatnot.

Also, don't worry about my time. I'm waiting for my Windows 7 to reinstall—lost it and my game makers—so I'm pretty much free now. Running a VX trial on Ubuntu though, so...its all good! ^_^

If you have any problems, please post. I'll try my best to offer assistance! Good luck!

Woot! : 3 Thank you, well you can always help me with parts of my game xD i know one event took me almost an hour to work out and debug by myself

The tutorial seems more abotu switches and how to make the game so the guard will let you use his ship after speaking with the king, not really abotu the ship moving around :/ but thanks for it anyway :3

That leads you to control it. :)

You can make the sailor you have say his text—complete with the "if the king was spoken to etc etc" switches on—and then use the "Set Vehicle Location" event for when everything you need has been acquired. Then you can talk to the ship and it can move (e.i you can control it). VX has built in options for it. ^_^

Okay, so very simply, I played around with it, and it seems that if you right click where you want your ship to be, and go down to "Set as starting position" and choose ship. Then when you are in your game, you can walk over to it and press enter and you will become the ship.

Ive tried that and all it does is leave me standing in front of the ship :/

It shouldn't do that. It is working for me. Are you sure you haven't anything messing with the event coding somewhere in the event? The tutorial, my second post and mlogan's posts all work for me when I event it... :hmm

Alright then; let me mess around again and see if I can get something else done for you. :wacko:

..heh..hehe :nervous laugh: yea I forgot to set the vehicle location ^_^" odd how its always the tiniest things that mess you up..bad thign is..three people missed it on the screenshot..lol

I kinda thought you already knew about that part 'cause the tutorial I linked to. :(

Well then, glad you got it to work! Enjoy the ship! ^_^

I did lol I thought I had done it already though, but no harm done :3 and thank you! still workign some bugs out though :/
