Introduction

This page is a reference for all the available actions and conditions available in Tuxemon. You can use this reference to create new map events for your own maps. All action and condition parameters are separated with a comma (,).

Condition Reference

Here is a list of currently implemented conditions. New event conditions can be created by creating a new method under the core.components.event.condition module:

true

The true condition will always evaluate to *True* (unless the "not" operator is used)

Check to see if the player is inside the event's area. This event will check the event object's X, Y, Width, and Height properties and checks to see if the player is within those bounds. That includes event areas that are greater than one tile in size. You can optionally include an x,y parameter to specify a single tile location.

Parameters

  • x: X tile coordinates that the player is at (optional)
  • y: Y tile coordinate that the player is at (optional)
