Calling an Item menu(s) to the Battle option during battle

[phoenixprime88b5]

I have a pokemon battle system and everything works but the item part. I just need to know how to call the item menu to the battle during the actual battle.

i wish i knew the answer to that, sorry.

anyways, you say that you have a pokemon battle system? where did you get it???? o.o i'm searching for one right now!

Well, the call script is Window_Item.new
Can you please post your battle system here so I may edit it?

What part of it do you need, and what exactly is need to be put in the script from window.item?

Well, you need to look for the part in teh battle script where the player needs to input the action (attack, skill...ect).
Now heres a bit of the default battle script:

    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      # Branch by actor command window cursor position
      case @actor_command_window.index
      when 0  # attack
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
        @active_battler.current_action.basic = 0
        # Start enemy selection
        start_enemy_select
      when 1  # skill
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 1
        # Start skill selection
        start_skill_select
      when 2  # guard
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
        @active_battler.current_action.basic = 1
        # Go to command input for next actor
        phase3_next_actor
     [COLOR=Red] when 3  # item
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Set action
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 2
        # Start item selection
        start_item_select
      end
      return
    end[/COLOR]  end

Now, here, it tells the system what to do when 0 (attack), 1 (skill), 2 (Defend), or 3 (item) is selected. As you can see, when item is selected, it tells it to run "start_item_select" which was earlier defined as...:

def start_item_select
    # Make item window
    @item_window = Window_Item.new
    # Associate help window
    @item_window.help_window = @help_window
    # Disable actor command window
    @actor_command_window.active = false
    @actor_command_window.visible = false
  end

So, look for the part in your battle system where it defines what to do when something is selected and after the "item" part, replace it with the code i put just above this. this should run the item screen.

Note: If you dont know much about scripting, look for that part in your script and post it here. I don't want something to go wrong :-/

def pbItemMenu(index)
pbShowWindow(BLANK)
# Fade out battle scene
visiblesprites=pbFadeOutAndHide(@sprites)
item=0 # item returned from custom item screen
#
# Call custom item screen here
#
# Fade in battle scene
pbFadeInAndShow(@sprites,visiblesprites)
return item
end

Alright, i found the item part. Can you tell me what happens when you select the item button?

 

[phoenixprime88b5]

it fades like it's about to go to the item menu but then it goes back to the battle.

 

[chuchan]

Alright, seems like you've found that part too...
insert on a new line before item=0
Window_Item.new

I had to change my reply, it doesn't show the item menu at all, i thought it did but it doesn't.
