Adding More than just a new command.....

[xgamexfreakx]

I've seen topics like this before, but the ones I've seen don't have quite what I need. I've been playing around in Scene_Title trying to get a new command in the title menu. I have had partial success. I need it so that when you select the command New Game, it bring's up two more options, Easy and Hard. I am using the ADB system and I want it so that the user can select which type of system to use, Passive or Active.

The codes are as following:

$game_system.ffxii_config.active = false

for easy

and

$game_system.ffxii_config.active = true

for hard.

Help in this would be very greatly appreciated!

This seems to do the trick!  ^^

class Scene_Title
  alias old_main main
  alias old_update update
  alias old_command_new_game command_new_game
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Main Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def main
    old_main
    # Dispose of difficulty window
    if @difficulty_window
      @difficulty_window.dispose unless @difficulty_window.disposed?
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    unless @command_window.active
      # Update difficulty selection window
      @difficulty_window.update
      # If C button was pressed
      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
        # Set difficulty (false = easy, true = hard)
        $game_system.ffxii_config.active = @difficulty_window.index == 1
        old_command_new_game
      end
      # If B button was pressed
      if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
        # Play cancel SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
        # Go back to command window
        @difficulty_window.dispose
        @command_window.visible = true
        @command_window.active = true
      end
      return
    end
    old_update
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Command: New Game
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_new_game
    # Play decision SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
    # Hide command window
    @command_window.visible = false
    @command_window.active = false
    # Make difficulty selection window
    s1 = "Easy"
    s2 = "Hard"
    @difficulty_window = Window_Command.new(128, [s1, s2])
    @difficulty_window.back_opacity = 160
    @difficulty_window.x = 352 - @command_window.width / 2
    @difficulty_window.y = 288
  end
end

Paste below Scene_Debug but above Main.

ok. It works! It give me the choice to select easy or hard, but I doesn't set it to easy or hard. I went in and made one minor edit.

In Frame Update:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    unless @command_window.active
      # Update difficulty selection window
      @difficulty_window.update
      # If C button was pressed
      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
        # Set difficulty (false = easy, true = hard)
        $game_system.ffxii_config.active = @difficulty_window.index == 1
        old_command_new_game
      end
      # If B button was pressed
      if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
        # Play cancel SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
        # Go back to command window
        @difficulty_window.dispose
        @command_window.visible = true
        @command_window.active = true
      end
     # Set difficulty upon select
      case @difficulty_window.index
      when 0  # Easy
        $game_system.ffxii_config.active = false
      when 1  # Hard
        $game_system.ffxii_config.active = true
      end
      return
    end
    old_update
  end

I added in the [# Set difficulty upon select] part of the code so it would set the difficulty. Thanks for the help!

Really?  This is the line that should have set the switch:

$game_system.ffxii_config.active = @difficulty_window.index == 1

Perhaps I was too ambitious with my fancy compressed code.  Perhaps you need parentheses around (@difficulty_window.index == 1)

I'd recommend at least moving the difficulty select code you wrote to the spot in the code where that line was.  Otherwise it's resetting ffxii_config.active every frame, even before you confirm a difficulty level.  It won't break anything to leave it the way it is, but it's less efficient programming.  ;D
