KWeatherArea XP

by Kyonides

Introduction

Did you ever want to set a custom weather effect depending on a given area on the current map?
Now you can do it in RMXP!

NOTES

• This scriptlet uses script calls to make that happen.
  
• Here an area is synonymous with a rectangle.
  
• You can add and remove areas.
  
• Removing an active weather area reverts the effects to the last effect you've set via Set Weather Effects event command.
  
• If you change the weather in battle, it will revert it to the current area's weather, if any.
  
• Please read the embedded notes to learn how to use it properly.

Script Upgrade!

This unexpected release  offers you 2 bug fixes and 1 new feature.

Bug Fixes

The scriptlet didn't let you set a weather effect manually at some point because one of Game_Screen's variables was set to a minimum level.  Oops!
Now it's totally possible to set any of the available effects via event commands or script calls.

The script call passed a nested array to the WeatherArea's set_rect method causing the vanilla RMXP engine to crash.
Now the custom class flattens the coordinates array before altering its area variable (a Rect object).

New Feature

If you ever delete the currently active weather area, it will revert the weather to the last weather effect set via event command, if any.

Another Script Upgrade!

Version 1.1.0 Has a New Feature!

Once the current battle has finished, the script will revert any changes you might have made to the weather effects in battle to the local area's weather settings, if there's any.
