A seperate item menu for a custom item type

Ninkoro · April 13, 2015

Thanks for whoever is taking the time to read this request.

The basic jist

In my game I want to have something called "abilities", that can be earned and flipped on and off. These abilities usually affect battles.

I already figured out most of it

First off i'm using a battle script. I'm just going to string in switch references in there to allow the abilities to do there magic. "Abilities" will show to the player as items, and essentially they are items. When "used", these items will allow the player to turn them off/on.

What I need from a generous scripter

I am using Yanfly's menu script: https://yanflychanne...ce-menu-engine/

With this script, I can create a separate menu option that can activate a script.

Basically, I need 2 things

1. I need to be able to designate an item as a new item type, different from item, key item, etc.

2. I need to make a separate item menu specifically for these items.

This distinct item menu would be named abilities in yanfly's script and placed where I wish. I just need the actual script which will be called using a handler method, ":command_abilities" or such.

If any of this is unclear please ask me about it. I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me out!

I called them as Battle Items.

Do this on a script call:

SceneManager.call(Scene_BattleItems)

First off thanks for making this!

I just need a little guidence setting up. within yanfly's menu script I tried using :battle_item and :item_window handlers and both returned an error. What is the correct way to call your menu?

Are you calling it on the command menu itself? If so, look at how I set it up:

# â–¼ Introduction
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# The menu system in RPG Maker VX Ace is great. However, it lacks the user
# customization that RPG Maker 2003 allowed. With this script, you can add,
# remove, and rearrange menu commands as you see fit. In addition to that, you
# can add in menu commands that lead to common events or even custom commands
# provided through other scripts.
# 
# This script also provides window appearance management such as setting almost
# all command windows to be center aligned or changing the position of the
# help window. You can also opt to show the TP Gauge in the main menu as well
# as in the skill menu.
# 
#==============================================================================
# â–¼ Instructions

# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below â–¼ Materials/ç´ æ but above â–¼ Main. Remember to save.

Yeah, exactly like that. It's returning the error, "unidentified method 'command_battle_item' for class 'Scene_menu'."

+ TBWCS · April 13, 2015

Have you added the way I did?

As you can see on the ones on the spoiler, I called the command_battle_item already.

  def command_battle_item
    SceneManager.call(Scene_BattleItems)
  end

I placed it under the Scene_Menu on Yanfly's script.

Ninkoro · April 13, 2015

Wow i'm sorry, I'm kinda a minimalist so i've never used Yanfly's script to add anything before.

It looks great!

Just one more stupid question, how to I make an item a "battle item"?

+ TBWCS · April 13, 2015

Change all the script I gave you with this:

module Soulpour
  module MailingList
    Battle_Item_RegEx = /<battle_item>/i
    Battle_Item_Name = "Battle Item"
  end
end

To make an item a battle item, place the note tag

<battle_item>

on the item.

Works perfectly, thanks!

~~Hey Soul,~~

I've been working with your script and it works great, however I was wondering how I would go about making separate categories within the same window, along with different battle items, notetaged as "battle_item_2" or such.

Well, I tried to figure it out on my own at first, and I was able to make separate selectable categories within the window no problem, but I couldn't figure out how to give each one its own separate item list using a different notetag for each one. Think you could show me how to do this so that I'll know how to add or remove them at my discretion?

~~Thanks~~

Nevermind I figured it out.

A seperate item menu for a custom item type
