I have a script to change maps in v27 and it crashes. It has given me a lot of frustration and I would like to know of someone could know what is wrong with it.

v27/ika should *never* crash. Ever.

Could you kindly email me a testbox? I need to see this first-hand. Just stuff it in thespeedbump@shaw.ca, and I'll take a look at it as soon as I can. :)

Well I fixed the problem. It was just one of those things where you need to restart your computer for it to work. But I did that and it finally worked a few days later! It got me a little mad though! But my maps switch now and there is another problem! When I switch maps it puts my guy in a spot were I don't want him!! I tried to switch it to another map and it dies the same thing!! Can you help me!!

Just move him yourself. ;)

def MapSwitch(filename,x,y):
   global player # replace this to suit your code
   map.Switch(filename)
   player.x=whateverIwant
   player.y=whateverIwant
Due to the way ika works, you can do that, and it'll work just fine. :)

Thanks for the code but that's what I use. And I have everything the way that it should be and it gives me an error that argument 1 must be string not module. It is confuesing me and I need some help!

um... did you put the filename in quotes when you called it?

MapSwitch('mymap.map',x,y)
or
MapSwitch("mymap.map",x,y)

Well it does work now. But now it switches the map fine but it moves me to a place on the map that I didn't specify! Can you help me! My syntax is

def MapSwitch():
map.Switch('underground.map')
player.x=23
player.y=4

That's the problem. It SHOULD look like:
def MapSwitch(amap,xm,ym)
map.Switch(amap)
player.x=xm
player.y=ym

That way, you can use this MapSwitch script anywhere just be typing in the function and then it'll do everything for you. So if you were on a map, put in the function:

MapSwitch('underground.map',23,4)

...and it will equal exactly what you have up there.
I'm not sure if this was quite what your asking for, but since I'm more diehard for VC I don't think I'll venture much more into this Python stuff..

The formula that you gave me doesn't work. It gives me syntax errors all the time and I am using v27 and I am a newbie. Just in case you might be wondering! I need some really in depth explanation!
