• 2025.12.08 Improved screen size verification, easy color system, anti-lag option.

This script allows you to create colored lines connecting events, or from the player to a map event, eliminating the need to create events in parallel and use game variables.

It's still a script that can be improved.

Possible future improvements:

• Select colors by ID from a palette (Array)
• Perhaps increase the line limit (even with the lag issue)
• Adjusted to work with common events in case a map event does not exist.

• Both Non-Commercial and Commercial usage is allowed
• No need to add credits
• Modifications are released

Instructions:

Create a line between two characters on the map:
Paint.setline(LineID, CharID, CharID, Color, Height Y-Fix)
LineID: 0..7 (To avoid lag, the limit of simultaneous lines is 8)
CharID: A value of 0 will point to the player, while 1 or higher will point to the event on the map.
Color: You can define a custom color or use one of the 8 initial colors, via the color ID or name; the name can be written in lowercase or uppercase letters:

Y-Fix: The default height is -12 from the base of the character set graph.

Examples:
Enable line 3 to go from the player to the map event with ID 1:

Enable line 0 to go from event 2 to event 4 with the color blue:

Connect line 7 with the standard color, but with graphic 28 higher:

Delete a specific line:
Paint.eraseline(ID)

Examples:
Delete line 8:

Delete all lines:
Paint.clearlines

Anti-Lag:
This allows for fewer pixels to be drawn, making the game smoother.
Paint::ANTI_LAG = 2 (2 or more)

A brief explanation of how colors work:
The Color class in RGSS functions similarly to other environments, but allows the use of transparency.
The Color.new command is used to return a color based on the values you enter (0~255).

Color.new(Red,Green,Blue)
Color.new(Red,Green,Blue,Transparency)
There are online tools where you can convert colors into values to use in the script.

Here's a website that might help, although MS Paint also does this for color selection:
