Hey there, this might seem like a very odd request, and I'm not sure if it could be done or not, but here it is:
Is there a way where once a certain task is completed (i.e. events, npc, obatining a Key Item) it can "activate" a script in RMVX?
For example, I am using Dargor's Beastiary Script, but I want to be able to activate this script, and add a menu option going to the beastiary after receiving an item.
So is there any script I can put in events where after "talking" to an NPC, these scripts will be active, and their corresponding Menu/ battle menu options will be added and the menus updated?

I only have a tiny understanding of RGSS2, but I assume this could be done with some sort of conditional statement inside the actual script, and then turned "true" in the event, but of course I have no idea , I'm just taking a wild guess , and even then I wouldn't know how to script it . . . :down:

I know it sounds confusing, but if anyone could help me out, it'd be great! :thumb:

Yup, someone could probably script a way to check if a switch is on before activating the script, and all you have to do is turn on the switch after talking to an NPC.

But could you post the script (or a link to it) first?

Yeah, the actual beastiary Script is here: Dargor's Beastiary
So basically, I just want it to be active, after talking to an NPC.
Maybe like After talking to an NPC, it'll contain the event Beastiaryactive=true or something like that, and an actual section of the Script that checks if it is active, and if so, to star processing.
For my Menu, which the option for the beastiary would preferably show up if active as well, is here:

I might be a bit hard to do, but is there a code to universally add it to all scripts as well, just so I won't have to ask for it every single time?
