[XP] Map Switch! XP alteration? Sorta

[l0rdph0enix]

Hey I'm using Map Switch! XP by Punk and it works great for what I need it to do. But I was wondering if someone could show me, or tell me how I can make a version of this script so that depending on what map you are on it changes 1 variable. Example: Your on maps [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] so it sets Variable 39 to 1, if you're on maps [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20] it sets Variable 39 to 2, and so on.

did you want it by every 10 or was that just an example if it was just an example the map arrays was there 1 that is already configured in that script you wanted to use

[l0rdph0enix]

The '10' was just an example. The script I have here is just for turning on a certain switch if you're on that map other wise the switch is turned off. I use that for when the player is inside, in a cave or other cases. BUT I'd like to create another version of the script so that if you're on say Map01 called Fithavile and Fithavile is a town located on continent called Absitinvidia, then Absitinvidia's variable would be equal to 1. But hey wait now you've teleported to a new town in called Millington(Map02) and it's on a new continent Majeep, well now Majeep's variable is equal to 2. So the script would have to set the variable accordingly to what map you were on.

So going by how it's done in the Map Switch! script it would be set up as follows.

Spoiler: ShowHide

#==<Absitinvidia>
  LP_PUNK_MAP_IDS = [4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24,
                  27, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 39, 41, 43, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52, 
                  53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 60, 62, 63, 64, 67, 69, 70, 71, 72, 74, 75, 
                  76, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 86, 87] # Map IDs Set 1
  LP_PUNK_MAP_VARIABLE = 1 # Variable Value 

#==<Majeep>
  LP_PUNK_MAP_IDS_2 = [31, 44, 59, 68, 73, 78] # Map IDs Set 2
  LP_PUNK_MAP_VARIABLE_2 = 2 # Variable Value 

So now when the script sees that the player is on Map04 that it should set Variable 39 to = 1. And when the player is on Map31 to set Variable 39 to = 2. And so on. I hope that makes since.

ok i edit his script a little to make it more efficient here

Cool thank you, I'll give it a run when I get home. Spent 30min last night making a common even that does what I wanted it to do with a crap load of conditional branches. That's fine and dandy but when I have to have a conditional branch for every map (so far over 86) it gets pretty long. That's why I wanted a script that all I had to do was plug in the map ID's and it does the rest for me. I looked over the code and yes I do believe it'll work for me. Thank you again for helping me out nathmatt. I'm pretty sure you're credited, in my game, might even have a special thanks too, but I'ma add a star to your name.
