[Scripting Question] Trying to make seasons change tilesets in v17.2 and need help

[Rinkoou]

Hi, I'm working on seasons in Essentials v17.2, and I can't get it to work. When starting the game, this error message would immediatly appear:

Script 'TilesetSeasons' line 12: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'tileset' for nil:NilClass

Here is my code:

seasoncheck=Time.now.mon

if seasoncheck=3 || seasonscheck=4 || seasoncheck=5
   season=9
  elsif seasoncheck=6 || seasoncheck=7 || seasoncheck=8
   season=10
  elsif seasoncheck=9 || seasoncheck=10 || seasoncheck=11
   season=11
  elsif seasoncheck=12 || seasoncheck=1 || seasoncheck=2
   season=12
  end

  if (@map.tileset_id==1)
   return season
  else
   return @map.tileset_id
 end

The purpose of the script is to change the maps using the tileset using ID 1into the tileset corresponding to the month the player is playing during. If anybody could help, that'd be great!

Where exactly did you put this code? Because @map is a local variable and needs a class to work with. Also your error is different from your code, since it complains that the method tileset does not exist for the object your calling it on but your code doesn't have a tileset, just a tileset_id

Fortunately, I still have a copy of BW Essentials, and that comes with a tileset season switcher and that surprisingly works in v17.2! (At least the tileset switching does, I didn't really check if the splash screen of the season worked.)
Here is a slightly modified version of said script that puts all of the constants in one script section. Don't bother crediting me for that, it's a very tiny thing, but you should credit KleinStudio. I also attached the pictures that come with BW Essentials that this script requires. They go in your Pictures folder, named "blackscreen", "season_autumn", "season_spring", "season_summer", and "season_winter".

Thank you so much, Vendily! The seasons work, but not the splash screens. Still awesome, though!

I fixed the splash screens.
In PField_Field on line 476

# Show location signpost
  if mapChanged
    if pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataShowArea)
      nosignpost = false
      if $PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1]
        for i in 0...NOSIGNPOSTS.length/2
          nosignpost = true if NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i]==$PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1] && NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i+1]==$game_map.map_id
          nosignpost = true if NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i+1]==$PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1] && NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i]==$game_map.map_id
          break if nosignpost
        end
        mapinfos = $RPGVX ? load_data("Data/MapInfos.rvdata") : load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")
        oldmapname = mapinfos[$PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1]].name
        nosignpost = true if $game_map.name==oldmapname
      end
      scene.spriteset.addUserSprite(LocationWindow.new($game_map.name)) if !nosignpost
    end
  end

After 2nd end writes

#Season
      pbShowSeasonSplash
      $PokemonGlobal.lastindoor=false
      # Season

It will be like this

Spoiler:

# Show location signpost
  if mapChanged
    if pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataShowArea)
      nosignpost = false
      if $PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1]
        for i in 0...NOSIGNPOSTS.length/2
          nosignpost = true if NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i]==$PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1] && NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i+1]==$game_map.map_id
          nosignpost = true if NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i+1]==$PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1] && NOSIGNPOSTS[2*i]==$game_map.map_id
          break if nosignpost
        end
        mapinfos = $RPGVX ? load_data("Data/MapInfos.rvdata") : load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")
        oldmapname = mapinfos[$PokemonGlobal.mapTrail[1]].name
        nosignpost = true if $game_map.name==oldmapname
      end
       # Season
      pbShowSeasonSplash
      $PokemonGlobal.lastindoor=false
       # Season
      scene.spriteset.addUserSprite(LocationWindow.new($game_map.name)) if !nosignpost
    end
  end

PD: Sorry for my bad english
