Script: [v17+] Roaming Icon on Map

[FL]

Hey Fl. Thanks alot, I updated the script. and did the changes you've done, the image shows in the Pokedex as I want, but the "Area unknown" text is still in the middle of the screen is there a way to remove that?

In UI Pokédex Entry change line 'if points.length == 0' to 'if points.length == 0 && false'.

I have more of an open-world town map, and for some reason the roaming icon only shows up in the top left portion of the map. I tried looking into this to see if there was any way I can adjust the script but it only adjusts the height and not the width. I'm also not not great with scripting so that could be it, LoL. Is there any way to fix this?

Strange. Let's say that the roamer is in the route 3, the pokédex highlight route 3 encounters is correctly positioned? And what is your Essentials version?

I'm using v20.1. Yea the encounters of the other encounters work properly on the map and is positioned correctly.

Here it was working in v20.1, strange. Did you manage to define area metadata correctly, so player head is in the correct position in the places where the roaming pokémon are? You tested it in Vanilla V20.1? If works in vanilla but not in you game, some other of your script may be interfering.

This script is included in Arcky's Region Map. You can try using it instead if you can't detect the issue.

I ended up testing this issue in the Vanilla V20.1 and determined what the issue is. It is positioning the roaming pokemon based off the map position, without calculating the map size. I tried it multple times on the vanilla version and the roaming pokemon always showed on the map on the exact same position when showing on a route. That's why when I have my roaming pokemon in my game it only shows in the top left, because it is positioning it according to the map position without factoring in the map size.

This script uses the exact algorithm used for calculated the player's head position in the map. I tested in a 800x600 map and a 320x160 in vanilla, and it worked (attached). Are you sure that the player's head algorithm at your game wasn't edited (by yourself or by a third party script)?

I haven't changed anything with the algorithms. Your images show it operating the same as mine. If you notice that entei icon is on starting region map position on route 5 (0,11,7), and the map size of that route is 1, 111. When you change maps and when entei moves will will never appear anywhere else on route 5 only at the starting position. Sorry if this sounds confusing. I tried explaining it as best I can.

Basically, you said that the roaming pokémon are stuck in start position, right? This is defined in ROAMING_AREAS, in Settings. And in Essentials, Entei is roaming as defined. A gif:

Yes exactly! I thought that it would roam on the map but randomly appear or be centered along the route. I guess I thought wrong. Lol
