Recreating Dewford Gym's Gimmick

[Mutant Yoshi]

I'm trying to make a Dark-type Gym with the same gimmick as Dewford Gym, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. I'm trying to use scripts to change the radius, but it's not working.

Spoiler:

@DarknessSprite.radius=(176)

What exactly am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me?

I've already done a script for that when I was scripting the Battle Pyramid, I've adapted it to you.
The script will make the "visible circle" bigger when you defeat a trainer in the map you've selected in the configuration. Also, it saves the visible circle status. To use it just modify the settings (SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE and GYM_MAP_ID), you don't need to modify events.

SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE=50 # Variable to save the actual status of the dark circle
GYM_MAP_ID=72 # Map id where the gym is located

Events.onMapSceneChange+=proc{|sender,e|
  scene=e[0]
  mapChanged=e[1]
  return if !scene || !scene.spriteset || !$game_map || $game_map.map_id!=GYM_MAP_ID
  $PokemonTemp.darknessSprite=DarknessSprite.new
  scene.spriteset.addUserSprite($PokemonTemp.darknessSprite)
  darkness=$PokemonTemp.darknessSprite
  if $game_variables[SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE]==0
    $game_variables[SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE]=64
  end
  darkness.radius=$game_variables[SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE]
}

Events.onEndBattle+=proc {|sender,e|
   decision=e[0]
   return if $game_map.map_id!=GYM_MAP_ID || decision!=1
   darkness=$PokemonTemp.darknessSprite
   newRadius=darkness.radius+12
   while darkness.radius<newRadius
     Graphics.update
     Input.update
     pbUpdateSceneMap
     darkness.radius+=4
   end
   $game_variables[SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE]=darkness.radius
}

I hope this helps ;)

I tried making event objects on the map to test the effects, and they're not working. I'm pressing the action button, the variable does change, but the circle remains the same.

The circle changes when you defeat a trainer.
If you want the circle change only modifying the variable add this code and call it from an event with modifyCircle(new radius)

def modifyCircle(newRadius)
   darkness=$PokemonTemp.darknessSprite
   actualRadius=darkness.radius
   if newRadius>actualRadius
     while darkness.radius<newRadius
       Graphics.update
       Input.update
       pbUpdateSceneMap
       darkness.radius+=4
     end
	else
     while darkness.radius>newRadius
       Graphics.update
       Input.update
       pbUpdateSceneMap
       darkness.radius-=4
     end
	end
   $game_variables[SAVED_RADIUS_VARIABLE]=darkness.radius
end

Just noticed, Klien, you told him to call modifyCircle from the event, but in the code you made a function called modifyRadius. Might want to change one of those to match the other.

I figured all you'd have to do is use:

darkness=$PokemonTemp.darknessSprite
darkness.radius=[COLOR=Red]x[/COLOR]

Where X is a number... Just add a while command if you want it to do something fancy... You could always make the map a "dark" map so the radius is there regardless... But I don't know what you want or what this Dewford Gym place is and it seems all Kleins code is, is an edited/complicated version of Flash.
