Script Call Collection

Do you need combined conditional branch? Do you need some variables or methods? You're on the right spot!

Introduction

Hello everyone.
In this guide I tried to collect as much script calls as possible. Sometimes you need complicated conditional branches or use actor's HP variable to change some other stats. And default RPG Maker event tabs are easy to use, but you can't do everything with them. That's why you can call a script (third tab on the end) or use script directly in conditional branch (also last tab).

Here's a lot of useful script calls that will help you to change actor's stats, show messages, set conditions and more. Use right panel for easy navigation.

FAQ

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in comments!

Q: What programming language is used for scripting?

A: Ruby with RGSS3 library extension

Q: What operators can I use?

A: You can use standard operatords from other programming languages

=    +=    -=    *=    /=

Watch out! Double equals "==" means boolean statement thus the output is true or false

Q: How do I do If statement?

A: Just write "if" and next to it your condition. No brackets. Don't forget to end this statement by "end" command! Check the example

if $game_switches[5] == true   #If switch 5 is ON
    $game_actors[10].change_hp(50, false)    #Increase 10th actor's HP by 50
end

Game Controll / Progression

Call common event

$game_temp.reserve_common_event(id)

# id is number of common event

Wait

Wait(n)

# n is number of frames (or seconds, not sure now, sorry)

Control Switches

$game_switches[n] = value

# n is number of Nth switch
# value is boolean statement - true or false. True is ON, false is OFF.

Example of turning on switch No. 5:

$game_switches[5] = true

Control Self-Switch

$game_self_switches[[map, event, 'self_switch']] = value

# Map is either @map_id (for the current map) or map ID. You can find it in Map Properties (right click on the map). Enter value without zeroes! (For instance, Map ID 010 would be 10).
#event is either @event_id (for the current event) or event ID. Again, without zeroes (EV001 would be 1).
#self_switch is 'A', 'B', 'C' or 'D' (must have the single or double quotes)
#value is either true or false

Control Timer

Start Timer

$game_timer.start(sec * Graphics.frame_rate)

#sec is number of seconds to set on timer. You must convert minutes to seconds!

Stop Timer

$game_timer.stop

Control Variables

Set a Value

$game_variables[n] = value

# where n is number of Nth variable
# value is number that will be stored in this variable

For operator references:

# Addition
$game_variables[n] += value

# Subtraction
$game_variables[n] -= value

# Multiply
$game_variables[n] *= value

# Division
$game_variables[n] /= value

# Modulus
$game_variables[n] %= value

# String (aka text)
$game_variables[n] = "Insert string here!"

# Another Variable
$game_variables[n] = $game_variables[n]

# Variable References
$game_variables[$game_variables[n]] = value

Randomize

$game_variables[n] = rand(value)

# n is number of Nth variable
# value is number for generating - 1

Example for Randomize
If you use rand(10) you get a number between 0-9

$game_variables[1] = rand(10)

To have negative values, put something like "*-5 + rand(11)" to get a number between -5 to 5

$game_variables[1] = (-5 + rand(11))

For Game Data References:

Amount of Items in Inventory
$game_variables[n] = $game_party.item_number($data_items[n])

# Example Usage: Amount of Potions in Inventory is going to be stored in Variable 1
$game_variables[1] = $game_party.item_number($data_items[1])

# Amount of Weapons in Inventory
$game_variables[n] = $game_party.item_number($data_weapons[n])

# Amount of Armors in Inventory
$game_variables[n] = $game_party.item_number($data_armors[n])

# Map ID
$game_variables[n] = $game_map.map_id

# Gold
$game_variables[n] = $game_party.gold

# Steps
$game_variables[n] = $game_party.steps

# Playtime
$game_variables[n] = $game_system.playtime_s

# Frame Count and Frame Rate
$game_variables[n] = Graphics.frame_count
$game_variables[n] = Graphics.frame_rate

# Timer
$game_variables[n] = $game_timer.sec

# Save Count
$game_variables[n] = $game_system.save_count

# Battle Count
$game_variables[n] = $game_system.battle_count

# where n is number of Nth variable (or an item/weapon/armor on the first three)

Player, Actors & Party

Actors

$game_actors[ID]

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)

Change HP

$game_actors[ID].hp    #Total health
$game_actors[ID].change_hp(HP, enable_death)

# HP are value of new HP
# enable_death is true or false
With .hp command, you can permanently increase/decrease actor's HP.
With .change_hp command you can heal/wound the actor.

Example for Single Actor:

actor = $game_actors[ID]
if !actor.dead?actor.change_hp(value, enable_death) actor.perform_collapse_effect if actor.dead?
end

# enable_death is true or false
# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)

Example for Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor|next if actor.dead?actor.change_hp(value, enable_death)actor.perform_collapse_effect if actor_dead?}

# enable_death is true or false
# Value is the change to make (a positive or negative amount to be added to the current hp)
5 will make someone with HP 10 go to 15
-5 will make someone with HP 10 go to 5 so it's not SETTING the value, but adjusting it.


You need to damage actor for X% of his overal HP? No problem!

$game_variables[1] = ($game_actors[12].hp * 0.05).to_i
$game_actors[12].change_hp(-$game_variables[92], false)

In this case, we'll take overall HP of 12th actor and we'll take 5% of it (0.05, you need to divide your percentage /100) and store it into Variable 1. Then we'll call change_hp script and enter "minus Variable 1". That means his HP will be decreased by 5%. If you want to increase it, just leave there a positive value. Second parameter is "enable_death". Which means, if his HP reaches 0 he'll be dead (or GameOver if it's your main character). Enter true / false values.

Change MP

Careful! MP has NOT any method called "change_mp" like HP.

$game_actors[ID].mp
$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.mp += value }

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)
# Value is a positive or negative amount to be added to the current mp.

Change State

Add State For Single Actor

actor = $game_actors[id]already_dead = actor.dead?actor.add_state(state_id)actor.perform_collapse_effect if actor.dead? and !already_deadactor.result.clear

Remove State For Single Actor

actor = $game_actors[id]actor.remove_state(state_id)actor.result.clear

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)
# state_id is the id of the state you want to add or remove

Add State For Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor|already_dead = actor.dead?actor.add_state(state_id)actor.perform_collapse_effect if actor.dead? and !already_dead}
$game_party.clear_results

Remove State For Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.remove_state(state_id) }
$game_party.clear_results

# state_id is the id of the state you want to add or remove

Recover All

For Single Actor

$game_actors[id].recover_all

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)

For Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.recover_all }

Change EXP

$game_actors[id].exp

For Single Actor

$game_actors[id].change_exp(new_exp, show)

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)

For Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.change_exp(new_exp, show) }

# Show is boolean statement - true / false - if you want to show level up message and list of new skills if the exp past the current level.
# new_exp is value that you want to SET exp to. If you want to just ADD exp to your actor, use this code:

$game_actors[id].change_exp($game_actors[id].exp + new_exp, show)
#or you can use variable to store your actor:
actor = $game_actors[id]
exp = $game_variables[1]
actor.change_exp(actor.exp + exp, true)

Of course, you can use positive or negative value for exp.

Get/Change Level

$game_actors[id].level

For Single Actor

$game_actors[id].change_level(new_level, show)

For Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.change_level(new_level, show) }

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)
# show is true or false (as above, for level up and skills messages)
# new_level is the level you want to change them to (not an adjustment)
# If you WANT to make an adjustment, you have to get current level and add a new value to it (similar as above).

Change parameters

For Single Actor

$game_actors[id].add_param(pid, value)

For Entire Party

$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.add_param(pid, value) }

$game_party.members.each { |actor| actor.forget_skill(sid) }

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)
# sid is the id of the skill to learn or forget

Change Equipment

$game_actors[id].change_equip_by_id(slot, equip_id) if $game_actors[id]

# Where ID is the id of the single actor (found in database - F9)
# slot is the slot number (0=weapon, 1=shield, 2=head, 3=body, 4=accessory)
# equip_id is the weapon or armor id

Change name

# X / Y are coordinates (you can find them in right bottom corner
# Fade/Fade Style = [0; Default, Black], [1] White, [2] None
# For direction: [0; Default, Retain], [2] Down, [4] Left, [8] Up, [6] Right

Set Player and event location

Move Event to new X and new Y Position

$game_map.events[id].moveto(new_x, new_y)

# id is event ID. If you have event id EV001, enter just 1!
# new_x and new_y are two coordinates

Move Player to new X and new Y Position

$game_player.moveto(x, y)

# X and Y are again coordinates

Move route

These are pretty comples scripts, avoid it if possible.

move_route = RPG::MoveRoute.new 
move_route.repeat = value

# value is boolean statement - true / false . if you want to repeat the action, type true.

This means the event will skip the move route if it's not possible

move_route.skippable = true         

For Turning events

# For events
$game_map.events[eventid].set_direction(n) 

# For players

I do not recommend messing much with these scene call because I can make conflicts between your scripts and the scripts that are you using in Script Editor. Use these only if you're experience and you know what are you doing.

SceneManager.call(Scene_Save)
SceneManager.call(Scene_Load)
SceneManager.exit
SceneManager.call(Scene_Gameover)
SceneManager.call(scene)

# scene = Scene to load. (example - SceneManager.call(Scene_Skill) )
# Scene_Menu, Scene_Item, Scene_Skill, Scene_Status, Scene_Title, Scene_Save, Scene_Load, Scene_Name, Scene_Debug, etc.

Playtime

Playtime

Playtime can be counter using frame counts. Following script will return string or playtime as
00h 00m 00s. You can change format as you like.

playtime = sprintf("%02dh %02dm %02ds", (Graphics.frame_count / 60**2) / 60, Graphics.frame_count / 60**2 % 60, Graphics.frame_count / 60 % 60)

Input Commands

Input.trigger?(:A)
Input.repeat?(:A)
Input.press?(:A)

# Change A to your desired key, refer to F1 when you testplay and see the keys (not every key on keyboard is accessible in RPG Maker).

Screen Clean Up

Clear Fade/Tone/Flash/Shake/Weather/Pictures

$game_map.screen.clea
$game_map.screen.clear_tone
$game_map.screen.clear_shake
$game_map.screen.clear_weather
$game_map.screen.clear_pictures

Player Equipment

Change an actor's equipment.

$game_actors[1].change_equip(n, $data_weapons[x])

# Change n with one of the following:# 0 = weapon, 1 = shield, 2 = headgear, 3 = body-gear (armor), 4 = accessory
# x is Nth item in database

# Check Conditional Branch: if [Actor] has [Weapon] Equipped

$game_actors[actor id].weapons.include?($data_weapons[weapon id])
right_hand = $game_actors[actor_id].equips[0]
left_hand = $game_actors[actor_id].equips[1]

# To get the items. Replace the index in equips for the item you're looking for:
# 0 = right hand, 1 = left hand, 2 = head, 3 = body, 4 = accessory

Currency unit set

$data_system.currency_unit

Movement Commands

game_player.moving?
$game_player.dash?
$game_player.jumping?
$game_map.events[event_id].moving?
$game_map.events[event_id].jumping?
$game_map.passable?(X, Y, D)
$game_player.passable?(x, y, d)
$game_map.events[event_id].passable?(x, y, d)

# $game_map.passable? only tells you whether you can leave one tile in the direction of the other.
# The player and event versions take it further and tell you if you can leave that tile in the direction of the other AND if you can enter the other tile from the tile you're on now (for example, if you are facing right and the tile in front of you is the edge of a cliff that is higher than you - # $game_map.passable? would tell you that you CAN step right from the current tile. But $game_player.passable? would tell you that you could not move onto the next tile from the left). It also looks to see if there is an event on your target tile which would stop you going there, # but $game_map.passable? would not tell you that.

Q: I want to check the position of Player and compare with the position at side of Events.
Variable [6] = Position X Player
# Variable [7] = Position Y Player
# Variable [8] = Position X Event
# Variable [9] = Position Y Even
If you only want them to be beside the event (positions 1 or 3), use this:

$game_variables[7] == $game_variables[9] and ($game_variables[6] - $game_variables[8]).abs == 1

which says if the y value is the same and there is a difference of 1 between the x values Note: abs = absolute value

If you want them to be on any of the 4 numbered tiles, use this:

($game_variables[6] - $game_variables[8]).abs + ($game_variables[7] - $game_variables[9]).abs == 1

which says there is a difference of 1 between the x values OR a difference of 1 between the y values # It is comparing the difference between the x position of the player and the tile of interest. Using abs lets me take one away from the other in any order and still end up with a positive number - it doesn't matter which has the # higher or lower x value. Then it does the same with the y position of the player and the tile of interest. Then it adds them together (+ means plus, not and). So if the sum of the x distance and the y distance between the two tiles is 1, it means the player is on a tile that is directly touching the tile of interest (and not corner-ways, as then the sum of the numbers would be 2)

Follower Move Route Option

$game_player.followers[n].force_move_route(move_route)

# 0 for first after actor, 1 for second after actor, etc.

I have some calls I've found.
In place of $game_party.members[0]...
$game_party.leader

With self switches, if for the same map, the map id can be omitted entirely.
For setting, and for checking via conditional branch.
$game_self_switches[[event, 'self_switch']] = value
$game_self_switches[[event, 'self_switch']] == value

wait(n) is actually msecs; 1,000 is equiv. of one second.

(see fadeout_all)

exit
(this works too)

Conditional Branch:
$game_party.members[0].equips[2] && $game_party.members[0].equips[2].is_a?(RPG::Armor)
That checks if the party member index has anything in that equip slot and if the equip is (according to the database) some kind of armor. Killo Zapit helped me with that one.

I'm glad I could help you with this guide. But it's still missing some calls :P
