Introduction
This script allows you to use a static picture or a series of pictures as a custom upper layer for the current map.
I am sure there gotta be other scripts that provide similar features and you know what?
I don't care about that!
Embedded Notes
First of all, RMXP has no Map Note Box so you must use the Map's Name as a substitute.
Code:
# This script lets you add another layer where you can place images that can
# be either static or animated.
# Create a directory called Layers inside the Graphics folder.
# Thereafter you can add as many images as deemed necessary.
# Examples: fall_1.png, fall_2.png, fall_3.png
# The state of a specific Game Switch will determine whether or not a given
# layer is visible at that moment.
# - Set a Map's Total Number of Upper Layers
# - Pattern: <LUMn> - Example: <LUM2>
# - Predefine an Upper Layer
# - It must follow one of these patterns:
# The n's there stand for LayerID, No. Pictures, Frames and SwitchID (if any)
# <LUn filename n n>
# <LUn filename n n Sn>
# - Examples Using the fall_ image files:
# <LU1 fall 3 20>
# <LU2 fall 3 20 S10>Optional Script Calls
Code:
# - Change the Map's Upper Layer - It will replace any previous one!
upper_layer(Number).name = "BaseFileName"
# - Change the Upper Layer's Number of Pictures - if Animated
upper_layer(Number).total = TotalPictures
# - Change the Upper Layer's Timer (in Frames)
upper_layer(Number).timer = Frames
# - Change the Upper Layer's Switch ID
upper_layer(Number).switch_id = SwitchID
# - Change the Upper Layer's Data With a Single Call
upper_layer(Number).set_data(TotalPictures, Frames, SwitchID)
# - Freeze or Thaw the Upper Layer
# upper_layer(Number).freeze!
# upper_layer(Number).thaw!
# - Check whether or not the Upper Layer is Frozen
# upper_layer(Number).frozen?Screenshots
