I have used a similar script on VX. If I do modify this line:

 

Graphics.transition(60, "Graphics/System/"+$ze_chrbt[:GRAPHICS][rand($ze_chrbt[:GRAPHICS].size)], 100)

 

to

 

Graphics.transition(60, "Graphics/System/Transition"+$ze_chrbt[:GRAPHICS][rand($ze_chrbt[:GRAPHICS].size)], 100)

 

The whole thing will break?. I don't want to have a lot of items of the same folder

Both the codes you gave are the same, I think you might have made a mistake in your post.

 

EDIT: I've updated the script to add the option to set the transitions directory.

Yeah i had an error after the copy. I edited, anyway thanks for the update! i love this script!

[oriceles 3]

I'm having a Issue, when i start the game it says:

 

Script 'ZE Randomize Battle Transition' line 44: SyntaxError Ocurred.

 

unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting '}'

:DIRECTORY => "Graphics/System/Transitions/"

 

I just modified the script to this:

 

:GRAPHICS => ["BattleStart", "Ash", "Blind01", "Blind02", "Blind03",
	  "Bind04", "Brick01", "Brick02", "Cloud", "CrossFlame", "Cube",
	  "Diamond01", "Diamond02", "Embryo", "Flat01", "Fur", "Galaxy",
	  "Hurricane", "Line01", "Line02", "Pixel", "Pixelated", "RadialCloud",
	  "Random01", "Random02", "Random04", "Sharp", "Smash", "Square01",
	  "Square02", "Stripe01", "Stripe02", "Whirlwind", "Whitehole", "Whorl01"]
	  #----------------------------------------------------------------------
	  # This is the directory containing the battle transitions.
	  #----------------------------------------------------------------------
	  :DIRECTORY => "Graphics/System/Transitions/"

You're missing the comma at the end of the list of battle backgrounds. The correct code should be:

 

:GRAPHICS => ["BattleStart", "Ash", "Blind01", "Blind02", "Blind03",
	  "Bind04", "Brick01", "Brick02", "Cloud", "CrossFlame", "Cube",
	  "Diamond01", "Diamond02", "Embryo", "Flat01", "Fur", "Galaxy",
	  "Hurricane", "Line01", "Line02", "Pixel", "Pixelated", "RadialCloud",
	  "Random01", "Random02", "Random04", "Sharp", "Smash", "Square01",
	  "Square02", "Stripe01", "Stripe02", "Whirlwind", "Whitehole", "Whorl01"],
	  #----------------------------------------------------------------------
	  # This is the directory containing the battle transitions.
	  #----------------------------------------------------------------------
	  :DIRECTORY => "Graphics/System/Transitions/"

I don't have idea how I erased that comma. Thanks again.
