EIS Ask System

[Kino 8]

Intro:

A plugin that allows the developer to create in-text information.

This plugin creates the ASK system like in the game Wild Arms 3.
It allows you to select text within a message window, and ask about that word or phrase.

 

 

Features:

• Movement controls inside a message window
• Selecting text within a message window
• Activating conditional branches based on selected text.
• Option to remove brackets, and proper selection rectangle with other text codes.
• You can have multiple windows one after another with a lot of definitions and still access them the same way.
  • For example: One window with 1 word, and another with 2 or three after (The selection rectangle will adjust to the words in the following window).

Instructions:

1. Install the script with the same name: EISASKSystem.js (default name).
2. Have fun!

Functions:

/* Setup - Creating Context Word / Phrase
* To create a context word use:
* \ASK[ Word or phrase you want to ask ] within the message window.
* These words can then be selected with the arrow keys.
* Right / Down advances the pointer, left / up moves backward.
*
* Functions
* KR.AskManager.isWordSelect(index)
* -Each word is indexed from 0 to maximum words in the plugin once it appears in
* a message window. You can then assign them to game variables to do conditional
* branching. This function checks if the word has been selected or not.
* Example: KR.AskManager.isWordSelected(0)
*
* KR.AskManager.clearWorldList()
* - This script call clears the world list. This is to give the developer
* better control over when the word list should be cleared. For example,
* to evaluate the conditional branch after the word once the message window
* closes.
* Example: KR.AskManager.clearWordList();
