New Character Properties with Calls

XP LINK BROKEN

Introduction
This script adds additional properties from the Sprite class to Game_Character such as angle, color, mirror, tone, zoom_x, and zoom_y. For this version, I also combined my Event Angle/Color/Mirror/Tone/Zoom add-ons and my script calls with this script.

Features

• This gives Character sprites additional properties from the Sprite class such as Angle, Color, Mirror, Tone, Zoom, Wave Amp, Wave Length, and Wave Speed
  
• Change the angle, color, mirror, tone, zoom, wave amp, wave length, and wave speed of a character sprite using script calls.
  
• Set Angle, Color, Mirror, Tone, Zoom, Wave Amplitude, Wave Length, and Wave Speed of Events using special comments.
  
• Change certain properties of a character sprite to a desired value in a certain number of frames with a script call.
  

What's New?
For v2, I merged two add-ons I made for the original (Change Character Sprite Angle/Color/Size/Tone in frames and Event Angle/Color/Size/Tone) into one package and threw in several new script calls which should be useful (e.g.: zoom_change, color_*_change, tone_*_change).

■ Author's Notes
   I wanted to work on letting game creators animate character sprites a little
   more through script calls. I noticed certain properties such as angle, color,
   mirror, tone, and angle were missing so I wanted to add them in.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Introduction & Description
   This script adds additional properties from the Sprite class to
   Game_Character such as angle, color, mirror, tone, zoom_x, and zoom_y.
   For this version, I also combined my Event Angle/Color/Mirror/Tone/Zoom
   add-ons and my script calls with this script.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Features
   o This gives Character sprites additional properties from the Sprite class
     such as Angle, Color, Mirror, Tone, Zoom, and Wave.
   o Change the angle, color, mirror, tone, and zoom of a character sprite using
     script calls.
   o Set Angle, Color, Mirror, Tone, Zoom, and Wave of Events using special
     comments.
   o Change certain properties of a character sprite to a desired value in a
     certain number of frames with a script call.

■ Thanks
   Charlie Fleed showed me how to create these special comments a few years ago.
   This one is more of a shoutout than a thanks. Okay, it's a bit of both. I'd
     like to send a shoutout to Prof. Meow Meow who showed me a demo of his a
     few years ago making use of a previous version of this script. I thought
     it was an awesome experience being able to see how other people would use
     it, and I enjoyed how Prof. Meow Meow made use of it. So hey Prof., if
     you're still RMing, thanks.

■ Changelog (MM/DD/YYYY)
v1     (05/10/2009): Initial release.
v1.1   (05/10/2009): Replaced attr_reader with attr_accessor.
v1.2   (05/12/2009): Replaced initial zoom_x/zoom_y value of 1.0 with 100
v2     (04/14/2012): Combines Event Angle/Color/Mirror/Tone/Zoom and
                      changing properties in frames but throws in various
                      new calls to the mix while some of them are renamed,
                      such as sizex_change => zoom_x_change.
v2.1   (04/15/2012): Added relative arguments for all methods.
v2.1.1 (06/11/2012): Reduced the lines of code by about about a hundred, and
                      added new instance variables that can be written into via
                      script calls such as the @*_target and @*_duration
                      variables.
v2.2   (06/11/2012): Users can now use Arrays when changing Tones and Colors of
                      characters via script calls.
                      (Example: $game_player.tone = [0, -255, 0, 120])

Author's Notes
I wanted to work on letting game creators animate character sprites a little more through script calls. I noticed certain properties such as angle, color, mirror, tone, and angle were missing so I wanted to add them in.

Thanks
Charlie Fleed for showing me how to script special comments a few years ago.
Prof. Meow Meow making fantastic use of it in a demo he showed me a few years ago.

Indeed. :D

Also, yo! This script's been updated to version 1.2 as of today! This update particularly caters towards those who didn't like how the sprite's zoom level value 1.0 signifies actual pixel size. So I decided to do something about it and made 100.0 signify actual pixel size. I've also added a customization option for anyone who does not like the change.

Event Tone, Color, Size, Angle and Mirror

Introduction
The following five scripts I'm submitting allows the user to alter an event sprite's size, angle, tone, color and have it flip horizontally. These scripts will require the Character Sprite Add-ons script in order for them to work.

Features

• Change tone of event sprite. (Event Tone)
  
• Give it a color. (Event Color)
  
• Change the size of the event sprite. (Event Size)
  
• Change the angle of the event's sprite. (Event Angle)
  
• Flip event sprite horizontally. (Event Mirror)

$angle value

How to set the color of an event sprite

Go to a map event, select the Comment event command and type this:
$color red(0 - 255) green(0 - 255) blue(0 - 255) alpha(0 - 255)(optional)(default: 255)

How to flip the event sprite horizontally.

Go to a map event, select the Comment event command and type this:
$mirror

How to change the size of an event sprite.

Go to a map event, select the Comment event command and type this:
$size x-scale y-scale

Note that 1.0 denotes actual size of the sprite.
Example: $size 0.5 0.5 - Half the size of the normal sprite.

[PK8]

Heya, sorry for the bump but since this topic is already over 600 views and counting, I'm assuming somebody must have installed this by now.

It's been given the upgrade to 1.1 and now the developer can change the tone, angle, color and size of a character's (player or event) sprite with script calls.

[DerVVulfman]

Waitaminute. :mellow:

The whole actual 'WORKING' code of this script is 30 lines? That's it? :o

BTW: Nice to see that more people like us are adding all those detailed instructions into the scripts. B)

[old vx version of the script was here]

[Alpha-Mad]

Hey hey! Not bad! I may incorporate this (at least the size and mirror ones). This would be great for monsters that grow in size before attacking and such.

[Rylius]

I like this, tho I dont have any uses for it atm. =/
Antialiasing would be f'king awesome, but as far as I know it's slow as hell in RGSS. And I dont have a clue how to do it. o.o
But who knows, maybe something for next version? ~.^

[PK8]

This script has gotten a major update!

v2: Both the Event Angle/Color/Mirror/Tone/Zoom/Wave and the Change Character Properties in frames script were combined into one script. New script calls were thrown in too.

v2.1: Added the optional truth value relative argument for all methods. Useful if you want to add ontosubtract from a character property.

[PK8]

I just updated the script to v2.1.1

This update improves the documentation, reduces the code by about a hundred lines, and provides some improvements to the documentation. If you're using the VX version, it's imperative that you update it. There was a game-breaking bug in there.

Edit: Just updated the script to v2.2
Now users can use arrays for setting tone/colors or changing them in frames.
To VX users: If you're still using v2.1, please update it.
