[Scripting Question] Starting Over Point

[MemeKingMoore]

I have been making a game, and I didn't want the player to spawn back into their house. It used to say it couldn't detect the map data of the house, but when I changed it to what I wanted it to is shows up the black screen talking about blacking out, and then it keeps me at the same spot with healed Pokemon.

The PBField_Visiuals Script

#===============================================================================
# Blacking out animation
#===============================================================================
def Kernel.pbRxdataExists?(file)
  if $RPGVX
    return pbRgssExists?(file+".rvdata")
  else
    return pbRgssExists?(file+".rxdata")
  end
end

def Kernel.pbStartOver(gameover=false)
  if pbInBugContest?
    Kernel.pbBugContestStartOver
    return
  end
  pbHealAll
  if $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterMapId && $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterMapId>=0
    if gameover
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\w[]\\wm\\c[8]\\l[3]After the unfortunate defeat, you scurry back to a Pokémon Center."))
    else
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\w[]\\wm\\c[8]\\l[3]You scurry back to a Pokémon Center, protecting your exhausted Pokémon from any further harm..."))
    end
    Kernel.pbCancelVehicles
    pbRemoveDependencies
    $game_switches[STARTING_OVER_SWITCH] = true
    $game_temp.player_new_map_id    = $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterMapId
    $game_temp.player_new_x         = $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterX
    $game_temp.player_new_y         = $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterY
    $game_temp.player_new_direction = $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterDirection
    $scene.transfer_player if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
    $game_map.refresh
  else
    homedata = pbGetMetadata(004,MetadataHome)
    if homedata && !pbRxdataExists?(sprintf("Data/Map%004d",homedata[0]))
      if $DEBUG
        Kernel.pbMessage(_ISPRINTF("Can't find the map 'Map{1:04d}' in the Data folder. The game will resume at the player's position.",homedata[0]))
      end
      pbHealAll
      return
    end
    if gameover
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\w[]\\wm\\c[8]\\l[3]After the unfortunate defeat, you scurry back home."))
    else
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("\\w[]\\wm\\c[8]\\l[3]You scurry back home, protecting your exhausted Pokémon from any further harm..."))
    end
    if homedata
      Kernel.pbCancelVehicles
      pbRemoveDependencies
      $game_switches[STARTING_OVER_SWITCH] = true
      $game_temp.player_new_map_id    = homedata[0]
      $game_temp.player_new_x         = homedata[1]
      $game_temp.player_new_y         = homedata[2]
      $game_temp.player_new_direction = homedata[3]
      $scene.transfer_player if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $game_map.refresh
    else
      pbHealAll
    end
  end
  pbEraseEscapePoint
end

And then in the pbs metadata text file I also have it set to Home=4,6,4,8

You normally dont change anything in the script section for the thing you try to aproach, at least from what I think. Changing the pbs is normally enough. Did you include a autorun event that relies on the starting over switch and then turns that switch off again? (note that this event has to be in the map you want to be in when you respawn) You can look into your player house in lappet town (mom) for an example of how its supposed to be placed.

Alternatively, you could force an updated location by running an automatic "Kernel.pbSetPokemonCenter" , altough this would require that you were at least once in the same map/spot as you require in your game, before you can black out

I went back and fixed the script to the normal way it was, and then put the metadata PBS in as the map, and it worked. Thank you and sorry for my stupidity lmao
