Ladder script

[Whataface2]

I'm trying to make a ladder script. Nothing fancey, just to go from an upper level to a lower level. This is what I have so far and it isn't going well at all:

I have it set up as a touch event.

Content script
data info load

Apply if Party dir is1 ( whatever the number for north is)
-object bypass yes
-Party Float
-Party move 1 step north
-Object bypass no
-Party float zero

It is not working at all. The party goes up and then returns to their starting postion. Thanks for you help.

Re: Ladder script

Ah, the old climbing a ladder problem. One of the first scripts I ever got working for RPG Maker 2.

Don't use the float command, use vertical move instead. Turn on by-pass party instead of using by-pass objects. Make sure there is something at the top of the ladder the party can stand-on (that is, something not a part of the ladder event).

One of the interesting things about Vertical move that isn't explained anywhere is that you can move through objects that don't have by-pass objects on. That allows you to move the party through the platform and then land on it.

In order:
party touches ladder
ladder is set to by-pass party
party moves into ladder
party vertical moves through ladder and through platform above ladder
by-pass party is turned off (this may not be necessary if the party can't get back down except by using the ladder)


To go back down, you'll need an event on the platform (a transparent block works fine). Use event control to turn by-pass party on the ladder (unless you didn't need to turn it off). vertical move the party through the platform and down the ladder, then move the party out from under the ladder. Turn by-pass party off (using event control) and you're done.
