I need a way to make an event check what region it's standing on.
I thought 'get location info' would do what I wanted. But it didn't.

This is for Ace

I was writing the script as you edited your post.

I think this might help with what you were trying to do.

#==============================================================================
# ** Game_Interpreter
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  An interpreter for executing event commands. This class is used within the
# Game_Map, Game_Troop, and Game_Event classes.
#==============================================================================

class Game_Interpreter
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Get Running Event
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def event(id = @event_id) ; $game_map.events[id] end
end

You can use in a script conditional branch this to check if the event is outside the screen.

event.near_the_screen?

or if you want a specific event that is not the one running.

event(id).near_the_screen?

You could also use event.region_id to find out the id then use == like event.region_id == 1.

Let me know if it helps you out.

Whoops, when I edited my post I took that out. I'm looking to do this in ace.

author=TDS
event.region_id == 1

I have no idea how to use ruby so I just kinda stuck that in a conditional branch. It crashed, I did a bit of googling and found this "$game_map.events.region_id == 56" and tried that as well but that also crashed. How was I supposed to be using that bit of code?

The regions here are what I want the events to react to.

If you're using it straight from the global variable then it's like this.

$game_map.events[ID_OF_EVENT_HERE].region_id == 5

Like so:

$game_map.events[5].region_id == 5

Also test it before posting instead of editing your post. You might not receive help properly if you just post about trying then edit your post.
