Event Assembler Questions Thread

You can set an event to occur every turn within a range instead of on one particular turn if you put a comma and another turn number after the first one so in something like this:

TurnEventPlayer(0x00, Blah, 1, 999999)

Blah will occur every turn until the 999,999th one

[CT075]

set it from 1 to 255

the game stops checking after 255 anyway

I assume that can be modified to say enemy or NPC (also may be needed because plans)

[Brendor]

Your assumption would be correct for enemy phase, not NPC though

you //'d out your WritePointerTable i think, dude

[Shamison]

hmm i took out the // in front of the event pointer tables but it still does it.

[CT075]

MAP_OFFS shouldn't have 7 digits (take off the 8 in front)

don't comment out the eventpointertable stuff

you need an empty UNIT at the end of Good and Bad

please pay closer attention next time

EDIT

wait why are you writing "chapter" to 0x1 and "MAP_OFFS" to 0x6

prologue events are at 0x6 and prologue map is at 0x4...

The top attached image glitch thingy only happens when I'm in the event. Once it goes player phase, it goes away. Any fix?

This kind of glitch happens when the game loads units which very separated between them. The only way I know to fix this is by separating them in different groups, according to the distance between them. So a proper fix for that script would be this:

Bad:
UNIT Zugu Brigand 0x00 Level(3, Enemy, 0) [14,11] [14,14] [PoisonAxe] AttackInRange 
UNIT
Bad2:
UNIT 0x67 Brigand 0x00 Level(1, Enemy, 0) [14,11] [13,13] [IronAxe] PursueWithoutHeed 
UNIT
Bad3:
UNIT 0x68 Brigand 0x00 Level(1, Enemy, 0) [14,11] [15,13] [IronAxe] PursueWithoutHeed
UNIT 
Bad4:
UNIT 0x98 Archer 0x00 Level(2, Enemy, 0) [14,11] [15,14] [IronBow] AttackInRange 
UNIT
Bad5:
UNIT 0x97 Mercenary 0x00 Level(2, Enemy, 0) [14,11] [13,15] [IronSword] AttackInRange 
UNIT

Or something that suits you fancy. Of course, fix the pointers and load commands accordingly.

[blyegg]

Sorry, that did not work. However, changing the positions into the unit name/hex for it worked for me. (Except this time, it carried over a row of the mountains. So I moved the boss closer.) Also, I put the units movement if groups.

[CT075]

turn camera follow off or something

[Agro]

Yeah that happens when you load a unit group with units spread out and the autofollow for the camera struggles to keep up. As ShadielTH said, you can either split them up into different groups or turn the camera off.

[Shamison]

It's like that because usually I don't use it and it still works fine. And by extension I don't know how to use it. My other hack I'm working I just have that section //'do out and it works fine.

[CT075]

how the fuck are your events even playing if you're commenting out the eventpointertable commands

unless you're doing it manually in nightmare/a hex editor???

it's literally the only part of arch's event tutorial that isn't somewhat outdated

[Agro]

And I have the 8 because I was trying to fix it and the 8 goes there in the nightmare event reference table thing.

Nightmare needs it because it doesn't know the difference between a pointer and a non-pointer, but the EA is able to distinguish between the two, FYI.

[CT075]

if you comment out the eventpointertable then what you put in MAP_OFFS literally doesn't make a difference...

[Shamison]

Nightmare.

And since I've been using arch's tutorial that is outdated what would you suggest?

[CT075]

read the EA doc

[Shamison]

I did. But mine might be outdated but I'm not sure.

[CT075]

always follow the doc that comes with the version of EA you have

[Agro]

Sad as it is to admit it, it looks like I'm still having some trouble with conditional events. Help me out here, guys.

I can't seem to get this damned thing to work, and I have a feeling I'm overcomplicating things. I drew out a diagram to help me think things through, but...

Anyway, at the moment it seems to be jumping straight to DISCUSS_ETHAN_ONLY, but I have no idea why. If I change all the IFETs to IFEFs it goes to DISCUSS_WAKELEY_ONLY. Did I miss something, or write something incorrectly?

Edited March 21, 2014 by Agro

[Brendor]

I'm not exactly sure what to do but I recommend you make things less complex and split the conditions up into smaller separate parts like so

IFET 0x2 0x41

JUMP WakleyDead

ELSE 0x3

ENIF 0x2

JUMP Check Ethan

ELSE 0x3

ENDA

WakleyDead:

IFET 0x4 0x40

JUMP BothDead

ELSE 0x5

ENIF 0x4

JUMP WakleyDeadScene

ENIF 0x5

ENDA

CheckEthan:

IFET 0x6 0xwhatever I lost track

JUMP EthanDeadScene

ELSE 0x7

ENIF 0x6

JUMP EveryonesOK

ENDA

Might help a lot if you simplify conditions like this instead of making it one massive block

Edited March 21, 2014 by Brendor the Barbarian

[Vennobennu]

Some ideas:

You have an ELSE 0x5 but no ENIF to go along with it.

You might try using IFCD, and see if that makes a difference.

But, most importantly, your conditionals are set up in such a way that it always goes to DISCUSS_ETHAN_ONLY. When going through multiple conditionals, the game will check in order of which ENIF comes first, so it will always come to the ENIF 0x3. If ID 0x3 is true, it'll continue on and JUMP to DISCUSS_ETHAN_ONLY, since that's still within the conditional created by ID 0x2. If it's false, it'll jump to ELSE 0x4, which will also JUMP to DISCUSS_ETHAN_ONLY.

What you want to do is put the ELSE 0x4/ENIF 0x3 after the JUMP command; I think that'll help.

[Solum]

Hey! I have a little problem I don't know how to solve. It's an AREA event that moves the character to a different floor ( using the LOMA command )

But I'd like to make this event repeatable. So the player can switch between floors as many times he wants. I figured out a way : by adding tons of the same AREA events. But there's still a end to them and it's taking too much place.

So to make it short : How can I make these AREA event Repeatable ?

Misc_events:
CauseGameOverIfLordDies
AREA 0x04 rdc [14,3] [14,3]
AFEV

rdc:
IFAT 0x01 0x7A2F1 //(Checks for a player unit; will skip to ENIF 0x1 if it is)
ENUF 0x01 //(otherwise, reset the event ID)
ELSE 0x02
ENIF 0x01
ScrollText(0x0793) //(Stuff to do if a player unit steps in)
IFYN 0x03 //
LOMA Ch4 [7,5] //
ENIF 0x03
ENUF 0x01
ELSE 0x04
ENIF 0x04
ENDA

EDIT : Uh... Sorry I found my mistake xD

The way I finally made these repeatable is to put ENUF EventID After the IFYN EventID.

Which looks like this :

Misc_events:
CauseGameOverIfLordDies
AREA 0x01 rdc [14,3] [14,3]
AFEV

rdc:
IFAT 0x01 0x7A2F1 //(Checks for a player unit; will skip to ENIF 0x1 if it is)
ENUF 0x01 //(otherwise, reset the event ID)
ELSE 0x02
ENIF 0x01
ScrollText(0x0793)
IFYN 0x03
ENUF 0x01 // With this the AREA 0x01 Repeats when Yes is chose.
FADI 0x10
LOMA Ch4 [7,5] //(Stuff to do if a player unit steps in)
FADU 0x10
ENIF 0x03
ENUF 0x01
ELSE 0x04
ENIF 0x04
ENDA

This post shows well that I diserve the title " The idiot!". But maybe this one may help someone someday.
