Hello. I'm currently looking for a script (RMXP) that allows the hero to throw an object to hit remote switches. However, I really, really suck at coding stuff with ruby, so I have a hard time on just myself, which is why I make this thread here. I'd like to ask if someone could write such a script/point me to somewhere where I can find something that matches what I am looking for. That would be awesome.
A few more details about what I am looking for: This should be a possible move on maps only, not in battle (I'm using the Takentai CBS if anyone wonders). Upon pressing a button, let's say Shift, the hero should stop and remain in one spot. The arrow keys should make him change direction while shift is pressed (8 directions). If the player releases Shift, the hero should throw an object (something boomerang-like) in the direction he is facing. If the projectile collides with an object (like a switch), that object should do something customizable (the switch being activated f.e.). It would be best if there was a requirement for this to work, like having a specific item in your inventory.
I don't know how much work making such a script would require. However, I don't want people to waste their time for nothing, so I'd try to give something in return. I can't script anything that's worth much, but I'm actually somewhat of a semi-decent spriter. If someone would write a script like that for me, I could make you a charset/create poses for a charset or something related in return.
Would anyone be interested?
I might try this, but I'm not sure if I will succeed. And I have to work on REMEXOS too >.>. Sigh...
Cya :urgh:!
I suppose this might be possible using part of the Blizz-ABS script that deals with projectiles, though that isn't designed for 8-way movement, so it might just be easier to code something from scratch.

Indeed. I will try something now.

If the 8 directions thing is too much of a hassle, I would also accept a 4-way variant. The important thing is that it has to be compatible with the Takentai CBS script.
On the compatible thing. If its only for throwing it on the map, it shouldn't conflict with the battle system.
Yes, it's only intended for the map.
use XAS and deactivate it when in battle, its built in and long as you turn it off, it shouldn't conflict with the CBS
Using that big hurky user unfriendly battle system (Yeah no like XAS) ONLY for the throw objects is a rather poor idea when hes using something else for a battle system.
Actually just "turning off" a script doesn't mean it will not conflict with something else.
Not to mention having some gigantic script in your game to use only one small feature from it.
Although its inconvenient, its still a feasible option :naughty:
