Event Editor Features

Event Editor Features†

The Event Editor is a tool that allows you to edit "event sheets" and command scripts that combine "event panels" to create events.

Name†

You can change event names.

Sheet List (Lower Priority)†

This is a list of event sheets.
An event consists of one or more "event sheets".
The list is divided into "normal sheets" and "parallel sheets".

• Add Sheet Button
  When "Normal Sheet" is selected on the list, "Normal Sheet" is added; when "Parallel Sheet" is selected, "Parallel Sheet" is added.
• Change Sheet Name Button
  Click to rename the selected event sheet.

• Copy Button
  Copy the selected event sheets and save to the clipboard.

• Paste Button
  Paste the event sheets stored on the clipboard.

• Delete Button
  Delete the selected event sheet.

• Sheet List
  This is a list of event sheets.
  The order of the sheets can be rearranged by left dragging the sheet name on the list.
   
  Event sheets are usually processed from the “top” sheet in the sheet list.
  The event conditions are checked from the top of the list, and the sheet that satisfies the conditions is executed.
   
  Parallel event sheets are usually processed after event sheets.
  The position of the parallel event sheet on the list does not affect the execution timing.

C# Program Assignment†

Specify Plugins to be bound to an event.
Multiple C# plugins can be bound to a single event.

Conditions to Run This Sheet†

Specify the conditions under which the selected event sheet will be executed.
If multiple conditions are specified, it will be executed when all of them are met.
If no condition is specified, it is executed unconditionally.

• Add Sheet Condition
  Click to select execution conditions from a pull-down menu.
  • You can cut/copy/paste the condition panel in the context menu of the added condition panel.

• Event Switch
  
   
  Specify the event switch to be checked and on/off.
   

• Variable Box
  
   
  Specify the name of the variable box to be checked, the value to be compared, and select the method of comparison.
   

• String Variable
  
   
  Specify the name of the variable box to check and the string to compare it against, then select a comparison method.
  • Comparison Method
    The condition is met if the selected comparison method matches one of the following:

    Equal	The variable box value (string) is exactly equal to the comparison string.
    Starts with	The variable box value (string) starts with the comparison string.
    Ends With	The variable box value (string) ends with the comparison string.
    Contains	The variable box value (string) contains the comparison string.

  Checking the "Including Non-Collision Targets" checkbox allows the condition panel to be fulfilled even when there are overlapping events that are not collision targets.
   

• Battle Phase (for Battle Event Only)
  Select which phase of the battle in progress.
  The phases that can be selected are as follows:
  "When Battle Starts", "During the Battle", "When Battle Ends", "At the Beginning of Action", "At the End of Action", "When Command Selection Starts", "When Command is Decided", "When Command Selection is Canceled", "When Result Ends"

  • "When Command Selection Starts", "When Command is Decided", "When Command Selection is Canceled"
    
     
     
  • "When Result Ends"
    Please note that "When Result Ends" will also be executed when "When Battle Ends" is executed. #ref(./EventSheet_BattlePhase_4.png.png)
     

• Delete Button
  Delete the selected execution condition.
   

Change Elements During Sheet Execution†

Specify the elements that will change when the selected sheet is executed.

• Collision Settings
  Specify the behavior of this event when it contacts something else.

• Collide with Player
  When turned on, this event has a collision detection and will collide with the player.
  When turned off, it will pass through even if the player collides with this event.

• Collide with Other Events
  When turned on, it collides with other events.

• Move When Push
  When turned on, if the player moves toward this event, it can be pushed to move it.

• Custom Collide Range
  When turned on, you can change the size of the collision detection for this event.
  The default collision detection size is "width x depth x height = 1 * 1 * 1" for casts.
  In the case of map objects, it depends on their respective settings.

• Collide Range
  This can be specified when the above is turned on.
  Click to open the dialog box for specifying the collision range.
  Enter and specify the width, depth, and height, respectively.

• Movement Settings
  Specify whether and how this event will be moved.

• Orientation Control
  Specify one of three methods of controlling event orientation.

• Normal
  Automatically changes orientation when moved or spoken to.

• Fixed
  It does not change direction when moving or when spoken to.

• Free (Use Physics)
  Change the orientation by physics.

• Orientation
  Specify the orientation of the event on the map.

• Movement Speed
  Specify one of seven speeds of movement for this event.
  For events that do not move, there is no need to specify.

• Movement Pattern
  Specify the movement pattern for this event.

• Idle
  It does not move and stays where it is.

• Random
  Move in irregular directions.

• Approach
  Move closer to the player.

• Run Away
  Move away from the player.

• Movement Frequency
  Specify the frequency at which this event will move from 7 levels.
  The less frequently, the longer it is stopped.

• Limit Movement Range
  When turned on, you can determine the range within which this event can move.

• Movement Range
  This can be specified when the above is turned on.
  Click to open the dialog box for specifying the range of movement.
  Enter the coordinates of the range or specify them with the mouse from the preview.
  Drag left to select a range, drag right to scroll the screen, and use the wheel to zoom in and out.

• Graphic Settings
  Graphic settings for this event.

• Graphic Name
  The graphic name of the currently selected event is displayed.
  The graphic you specify will appear in the preview below.

• Motion
  Specify the motion of the event.
  Click on the motion name pull-down to select it, or click on the preview of the motion to specify it from the asset picker's motion column.

• Image for Displaying Map
  An icon image can be specified on the mini map to indicate the contents of this event sheet.
  See Creation Tips-Mini Map for instructions on how to make a mini map.

The icon is selected from the images registered in Game Definition > System Resources > "Current Location Map".

Command Script to be Activated During Sheet Execution†

This is the screen for operating "command scripts" that combine event panels to create commands, which can be considered the main body of events.

• Copy
  Copy the selected event panel to the clipboard.

• Cut
  Cut out the selected event panel and save it to the clipboard.

• Paste
  Paste the event panel in the clipboard.

• Delete
  Delete the selected event panel.

• Editing Method

  Since the functions that can be performed are the same, it does not matter which one you choose.

• Panel
  Click to change the display format to panel mode.
  The panel mode is to graphically arrange the event panels as if arranging cards in sequence. The progression of events is visual and easy to understand.
  
   
• Text
  Click to change the display format to text mode.
  The event panel is displayed in text mode, one line of sentence at a time. The type of event can be identified by the color of the text; the advantage is that more information can be displayed on a single screen.
  This type also allows you to select multiple lines for copying, cutting, and pasting.
  
   
  • Hotkeys in Text Mode
    The following hotkeys are available in text mode.

    i	Inserting an event panel
    e / Enter	Editing the event panel

  • About "Sync with Physics"
    This start condition is intended for use in cases where the camera, events, or player move gradually each frame, or when creating rhythm/music games.
    If you have implemented custom movement logic for the player or events, and notice irregular behavior due to frame drops, consider using this option as needed.
     
    On the other hand, for all other cases, please use the standard update method.
     
    (!) When "Sync with Physics" is enabled, the process is forced to execute exactly 60 times per second even during frame drops. The more you use it, the more it reduces the system’s ability to handle overloads, potentially creating a vicious cycle where the frame rate drops even further.
    Also, since key input processing is usually handled during the regular Update timing, using "Sync with Physics" may cause button presses to be processed twice in some cases.
     
  • Event Start Timing for Battle Events
    Please refer to the video below for the event start timing of the battle event.
    (It will be easier to understand if you actually set up events with different event start times.)

• Ignore Elevation
  If checked, the elevation difference is ignored when judging speech and contact.
  If they are next to each other, they can talk to others at different elevations.

• React from One Step Ahead
  If checked, it will respond even one step ahead when talking to it or judging its contact.
  The player can talk to the clerk who is behind the counter.

• Adding an Event Panel
  Click below to add an event panel.
  The Add button opens the Command Selector where you can select an event panel to add.
  See Event Panels (Command Scripts) for more information on the Command Selector.

  Editing Method	Add Button
  Panel Mode	+ Icon
  Text Mode	Insert Event Panel button

• Context Menu
  Right-click on the script edit screen to display a context menu.
  You can copy/cut/delete or comment out event panels.

• End Event
  This is an end mark for the end of the event.

Comment Out†

You can select "Comment Out/Cancel" by right-clicking on a panel for panel mode or on a line for text mode.
The text mode allows multiple lines to be selected and commented out/cancel at once.

• Commented out panels will not be executed until they are released.
  This is especially useful for debugging events.
  However, please be careful not to forget to release the comment out.
