Hello, im working on my game where you need to press 'D' button ('Z' in RMXP) to change the character's graphic. Im using Alworks Iinput script that somehow prevents me from doing Conditional branch if Z button pressed :sad:
So what I need is a script that changes the hero's graphic by pressing 'D' only if character X is in party and is not dead and then turns a switch on.
I hope its not too complicated to be done. :crazy:
DONE! Wasn't very hard at all, just paste this above main:

If you need any help with the script just ask! :thumb:
Edit: I figured it out and there was a little mistake where you did "@swith" instead of "@switch".
Also, I changed some scripts that I had and I wonder if you could do the same but instead of using 'D'(Z) geting the same effect using 'X'(B) without opening the menu. I need it to be only X and not Esc. If you could do it I'll be thankfull! :D
PS: Where in the script is the part when I can choose what switch to turn on and off?
Okay, I have deduced (someone correct me if I'm wrong) there is no way to set a function to run when you press the ESC key. I think that B(X) also includes ESC, so I think it would be impossible to select one and leave the other.
So, I think that you will either have to leave the change script as it is, or change the menu to a different button.
On to the switch problem! I change thed script a little so the switch is easier to use for none scripters. Just replace the old one with this:

So, to use it, all you have to do is use this code:
Code:
Change_Hero_Graphic.switch = true # true = on/ false = off
But that could only be used in conditional branches. I guess you could make a conditional branch that turns on an in-game switch?
If you don't know how to use a script conditional branch, just click Conditional Branch in events page 1, click the 4th tab, then click the circle next to script. There, all you have to do is enter your condition. Ex:
Code:
Change_Hero_Graphic.switch == true # Same as above, but remember to include the double "==" or it won't work
Ok thanks :D
And I saw that in Mr.MO's ABS you use X as the dash but you still can open the menu with Esc.
And I know it can be done some how with an input module, so any one has an idea how to do this?
Edit: I use Alworks Input module
Edit2: Another problem I noticed is that he can't change back to the old graphic and I still can't find where in the script I should put the switch's ID to turn it on
BUMP
Never mind about the key, the only problem is I don't know where I put the switche's ID (if needed) and I need a way so when I press the key again it changes the graphic back to the old.

You can now change the graphic back and forth, and just find this:
Code:
@switch_id = 1
And change the number to the switch you want to turn on and off. :thumb:
