Hi can someone tell me whats the Problem here? :D i am pretty new in Essentials

Love this resource. Do any of the plugins have settings relating to making it so overworld encounters can only appear/move on grass or other specific tiles only?

How do you keep the spawned overworld pokemon in the grass? They spawn there but they running everywhere

I made a simple add-on that restricts the movement of spawned pokemon as you wished.
The add-an is called "Restrict Movement - Overworld Encounters Add-On" and you can find it on the github page of the vissible overworld wild encounters plugin.
With this add-on, spawned pokemon will move only on there starting terrain. I.e. grass encounters move on grass and will not leave it. Note that spawned pokemon will be trapped on isolated tiles (such as a single grass tile) when you use this add-on.

I haven't tested the add-on yet. So let me know if there are any bugs.

Hello! I'm sorry for asking about an error for a pretty old version of Essentials, but in Spanish community is the one we work the most with. The matter in here is that there's an overlaping of the wild Pokémon that spawn and the priorities on my tiles, as the wild Pokémon are shown above the tiles with priority above 1. I'd like to know if there's any possible solution to this error or it's just due to the Essentials version. Thanks in advance for even reading this comment and sorry again for asking about old versions.

Hi. To give some helpful advice, I need more infomations.

• Which version of Pokemon Essentials do you use?
• Is your Pokemon Essentials version highly modified?
• Which version of the visible overworld wild encounters script do you use?
• Do you use any modifications (supported or selfmade) of the visible overworld wild encounters script?

Besides these, I have a good idea to deside if your bug is caused by the visible overworld wild encounters script or by the outdated Pokemon Essentials version.

1. Open the map editor and search for the tile where the error occures.
2. Place an ordinary event on that tile, choose a with sprite (pokemon or npc should not madder), set the movement and start playtesting.

If that sprite also causes the bug then it definitely comes from your Pokemon Essentials version.

Moreover, I remember that there is a bug concerning fog sprites in Pokemon Essentials version 16. You can find a conversation about this between ArchyTheArc and me in this thread. Maybe this helps. However that bug was removed in Pokemon Essentials version 17.

Hi can someone tell me whats the Problem here? :D i am pretty new in Essentials

Can you please do the following

1. Go to the githup page of Pokemon Essentials version 20.1 and overwrite your data of Pokemon Essentials with that latest version.
2. Install the latest version 20.0.0.4 of the visible overworld wild encounters plugin.
3. Start playtesting and try to force the error again.
4. Send me the error message and describe the situation where the error occures.

I will look forward for your answer.

I got the latest version from the github link but I still get this error:

Plugin Error:
Plugin 'Restrict Monement - Visible Overworld Wild Encounters Add on' requires plugin 'Visible Overworld Wild Encounters' version 20.0.0.4 or higher. but the installed version is 20.0.0.3

Thank you for your report. The github version has been updated now. You can download and use it.

Can you add the ability to set max spawns for different maps?

Possibly, the error occurs in the situation where you playtest your project and restart playtesting by pushing the playtest-button in the editor without closing the current game window. If so, then you can easily avoid this error by closing the window before starting to playtest again. In addition, a player cannot run into that error in your completed game.

 

[derFischae]

Can you add the ability to set max spawns for different maps?

I updated the max_spawn_add_on. Now, you can set different spawn limits for different maps. I haven't tested it. So, if you find any errors then let me know.

Thanks! I'll test it out and let you know how it goes.

looks like a fun plugin. only thing i want to ask at the moment is that under the v20 and v21 one of the addons was for the lavander town ghosts but the only script for them ive found is for pe17 is this the correct one still? just want to be sure before i break something using the wrong script since it seems to require a lot of editing

The "overworld lavender town ghosts add-on" is an optional add-on that was originally written (back in the days of pe17) to make the "lavender town ghosts script" (also for pe17) compatible with overworld sprites. Hence, a working "lavender town ghost script" is required or you simply don't add the "overworld lavender town ghosts add-on" to your project.
However, the "overworld lavender town ghosts add-on" does not guarantee that the old, required script is still working in pe21 nor that it was updated for v21. But, if you have a working "lavender town ghosts script" then the overworld component will also work, or at least if not I could update it.

ah ok thanks

How would you keep events spawned on Transfer or Save Load?

 

[derFischae]

The Visible Overworld Wild Encounter Plugin automatically keeps events spawned on Transfer or Save Load as long as you do NOT include the add-on (i.e. the subfolder from the github repository) called "Remove Poke Events On Load Save Transfer - Overworld Encounters Add On" to your project.

 

[systeromen_]

I don't have it, so I am unsure why the events are unloading.

How would I do what Remove Events does but in reverse?

EDIT: I've managed to do it, but the Sprite for the Pokemon is just free floating, disconnected from the Event itself.

I've seen this before with Following Pokemon.

Okay. Then I should also test it. Which Pokemon Essentials Version do you use? And which version of the visible overworld wild encounter plugin do you use? Do you use any addons for the visible overworld encounters plugin? And do you use any other plugins in your project? And if you want, then you can send me the code you wrote to reverse what Remove Events does.

# ADD-ON: MAX SPAWN by TrankerGolD #
# -updated by derFischae #
#########################################################

# You can use this add-on to set a maximal number of wild Encounters Events
# that can be spawned on the map at the same time.
# Use the parameter DEFAULT_MAX_SPAWN (see below) to set the limit of overworld pokeEvents at the same time.
# Use the parameter MAP_MAX_SPAWN (see below) to set specific limits for each map differently.

# FEATURES:
# * Stop more PokeEvent from spawning with the DEFAULT_MAX_SPAWN parameter and give exceptions for each map in MAP_MAX_SPAWN.


module VisibleEncounterSettings
DEFAULT_MAX_SPAWN = 0 # default 0
# DEFAULT_MAX_SPAWN is the max number of wild Encounters Events that can be spawned on the map at the same time.
# <=0 - means infinite (no maximum)
# >0 - equals maximum of wild encounters on all maps (that are not listed as exceptions in MAP_MAX_SPAWN below)

MAP_MAX_SPAWN = [
[4, 5] # - means the maximal spawn limit is 5 on map with map_id 4
#[map_id, limit], # - add your specific map limits here. Don't forget to use a comma between your pairs.
]
# MAP_MAX_SPAWN is a parameter that contains pairs of the form [map_id, limit], where each pair consists of the map_id of a map and the corresponding spawn limit of that map.
# example: [ [4,5], [6,0] ] means "map with id 4 has spawn limit of 5 pokemons and map with id 6 has no spawn limit".
