Hey, this is the first legit script I've ever created. It's a field of view script that i use for stealth type parts of my game. Basically whenever you walk into the field of view of an event it sets its self switch A to on, which than could be used to do other things(I have guards send you back to the beginning).
I was wondering if the field of view could be highlighted a transparent colour to show there view. Probably by wearing magic glasses or something. I know i'm probably ment to alias something but i don't know how or where to. Also my $game_player.x/y don't update for some reason so i'm using game variables instead which works. Any help would be much appreciated. Here is what i got so far.
=begin
To use this script place a script call eg. FoV.new(7,1,5) in a parallel process
to have the event constantly look for you. If you enter the events field of
view it will activate its self switch 'A' which could than trigger a chase
event system or an autorun event, however you want that event to react.
Script call = FoV.new(ID,DISTANCE,TYPE)
ID is the ID of the event.
DISTANCE is how many tiles they look in that direction. Default 5.
Only use ODD distances for diamond as it has been poorly scripted.
TYPE is the field of view type. Default Diamond.
Type 0: Diamond Type 1: Pyramid Type 2: Linear
N
3 3N
234 23N
E1234N E123N E1234N
234 23N
3 3N
N
where Distance = 5 where Distance = 4 where distance = 5
You can omit putting in the distance/type and use the defaults
eg. FoV.new(7,2) or FoV.new(4)
