Nifty RPGMaker 3 Glitch

[Rodak]

Here is an interesting glitch I managed to incur while trying to allow for different possibilities in my game.

I realized that the cut scene I posted before with the Clown and the Farmer only works if the Chicken if the active character. The camera angle is ruined otherwise.

So I put a party reorder command in there.

It worked fine when I tested it entering the room as The Euphemism.

Then I thought ".. What if they enter the room with the Chicken Dead?"

I wasn't sure, so I tested it.

A dead character can't be made leader. Whooda Thunk?

So I placed a revive party command before the modify active member command and something interesting happened.

Here is an mpg file showing the event:

My Chicken was floating way up high!

And it's repeatable!

The camera was off center, and between that and my dyslexia and the lousy analog stick camera control, I had a hard time controlling it during the mpg capture.

But it does manage to show off the weirdness.

Enjoy...

Peace.

Wow that is strange. Can you get the character down?

Re: Nifty RPGMaker 3 Glitch

The chicken returns to the ground during the cut scene, right when the display automatically refreshes for the "Display On" command used to bring up the clown's teleporter.

Watch the video!

It is really only good for getting some laughs and a funny screen shot or 2.

So far...

Re: Nifty RPGMaker 3 Glitch

That is pretty cool, you could make some interesting cutscenes with that floating trick. Have you done it with other character models?

Re: Nifty RPGMaker 3 Glitch

I am not sure it would work anywhere, although I am pretty sure it will work with anyone... I'll have to test it.

I am convinced it must have something to do with the fact that I got a good illusion by placing the clown and farmer close to the door.

When the chicken is the party leader the scene normally plays out looking like this:

The camera can't fit between the chicken and the door, so you cant see him for this scene.

This started when I could not see the scene while The Euphemism (Mythical Beast) was the Active Character.

All part of debugging.

I'll have to go in and stop the script before it refreshes the display and see what happens.

I may not get to that until tomorrow.

I'll post what I find.

Peace.

Re: Nifty RPGMaker 3 Glitch

glitches are fun(sometimes).

neat discovery there, rodak.

Re: Nifty RPGMaker 3 Glitch

I just took the time to test this further.

It pops the chicken to the ground if I interrupt the auto event sequence before the display is refreshed.

Drat.

If only they gave us camera control this could be exploited gloriously...

But it seems to be dependent on being so close to a wall that the camera won't get past it.

Hmmm... I'll have to try this with land forms forming the walls on a field map...

Not now though.

Glitches are only fun if you're not the one responsible for them.

Not all the time. I'm sure whoever's responsible for the Minus World at one point had a big grin on his face when he found out about it.
