Unlock Menu Commands (with Switches)

[Vodun 7]

Hello

I know how to remove different commands (like items, formation, save, skill, status) from menu using Window_MenuCommand in script editor.
(like on image attached to post).

 

Spoiler

My question is. How can I connect this to switches that could be turned on/off in the game? Could be a nice tool for game progression unlocking certain menu options.

Help is appreciated.

"Help me! Reptilians are trying to take over the world!" gave me a giggle, lolz

Okay. Try this. In place of main_commands_enabled, use $game_switches[x].

I think you can mess around with Yanfly's Ace Menu Engine to do that... I think you would need to use custom commands though. Not too hard to make custom command versions of default menu items though I think?

 

also: I personally say that it's best to avoid editing the default scripts. I mean you can, but it makes it harder to keep track of what has been changed.

/Sorry for a late respone, things in recent days have been hectic

Kayzee, tried Yanfly's Ace Menu Engine but I would like to use it as the last resort. It changes quite a few things beside the commands so first I'll try some other method.

PhoenixSoul, I did put $game_switches[x] but it didn't work. I got a screenshot showing the error and how I did this. Sadly I am not that quite in some manner good in doing RUBY scripting so the chance of me ducking things up is very high.

Thanks for the reponses :)

Try instead of putting the condition inside the brackets, but at the end

add_command(Vocab::item,    :item,   main_commands_enabled) if $game_switches[1] == true

It works!
 

I thought about using If or When with $game_switches[1] but thanks to my limited skills I couldn't get it to work.
But now I know :)

 

Thank so very much.

Yeah; I had thought of placing that outside the bracket but wondered if main_commands_enabled was something that could be replaced.
It was something I thought of on a whim. I typically use Yanfly's Menu Engine anyway.

Anyway, glad ya got it to work.
