Is there a script that pauses all events/autotiles/animations

Rayd12smitty · Jan 1, 2014

Is there a script I can call the will pause/lock all events/movement in general on the screen? If not, can someone point me in the right direction to make one?

Thanks

Edit

I figured it out if anyone else wants/needs this.

In Scene_Map I did this

Code:

def updateMaps
    for map in $MapFactory.maps
      map.update if $game_switches[106]==false
    end
    $MapFactory.updateMaps(self)
  end

I added the if statement.

Sorry I guess I wasn't too clear :/ my bad. I only want to pause events/animations in the OVERWORLD. Everything else needs to still function...

I guess you could stop updating all the events, if that's what you're aiming for. This can be done by changing the condition in line 421 in Game_Map_ (or just Ctrl-Shift-F search for "event.update").

Old: "if in_range?(event) or event.trigger == 3 or event.trigger == 4"
New: "if !$game_switches[69] && (in_range?(event) or event.trigger == 3 or event.trigger == 4)"

Now if you want to freeze all events just set the switch with id 69 on. You can change this number, but make sure nothing else in the game uses this switch. Also, this will only stop the events from walking, but you'll still be able to talk with them. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much! This is a great start. Now I don't suppose you would know how to do the same with fogs and auto tiles?

Is there a script that pauses all events/autotiles/animations
