Copy Events XP

[DerVVulfman]

Copy Events XP
Version: 1.4
Based on Fomar0153's RPGMaker VXAce script

Introduction
This script allows you to copy an event from one map to another. Please note this does not save them to a map, you will need to add them every time. You could use this to set pre-defined events within a repository map and copy them in on an auto event every time you enter the town for example.

Optionally, you could use it to create an army to chase characters in a map, copying one or two premade soldier events rather than manually produce the 10 or 20 soldiers. Another potential use would be eventers using it to help event systems where you copy in an all-purpose event into the map.

#  Introduction:
#  =============
#
#  This script allows you to copy an event from one map to another. Please note
#  this does not save them to a map,  you will need to add them every time. You
#  could use this  to set pre-defined events  within a repository map  and copy
#  them in on an auto event every time you enter the town for example.
#
#  Optionally, you could use it to create an army to chase characters in a map,
#  copying one or two premade soldier events  rather than  manually produce the
#  10 or 20 soldiers. Another potential use would be eventers using it to help
#  event systems where you copy in an all-purpose event into the map.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  Script Call:
#  ============
#
#  $game_map.add_event_from_map(map_id, event_id, new_x, new_y)
#    * map_id   : the repository of the event to copy
#    * event_id : the id of the event to copy
#    * new_x    : x-coordinate where to place the new event
#    * new_y    : y-coordinate where to place the new event
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  Remember:
#  =========
#
#  The events generated with this script are only temporary. While the events
#  do stay on the map when you toggle between the field map and the main menu
#  and/or the battle-system,  and they do remain present  within saved games,
#  the events generated will vanish  when you exit the field map and teleport
#  into another.
