Escape

I was wondering if anyone could make it so the Escape and Fight commands don't appear at all, and instead Escape appears with attack,defend,magic, and item. I' sure alot of people could find this useful.
 
well i felt bad about this post that i made, so i decided to help u

ok so in Scene_Battle2,
change aroudn line 13: @phase = 1

to

@phase = 2

that should work, only prob is that u have to push enter once for the actions to start
also, i don't know how to add escape to the menu thing but i know its pretty easy
maybe somebody could help out on that?
truth is that I have no idea how i figured that out since i know nearly no ruby or rgss stuff
 
Hmmm.....if you press x though while on the attack menu, it goes back to 'Fight' and 'Escape'

I know it can be done, because it's like that in some battle systems.
 
i'll try messing with it again
[edit]
well this is all that i could get, its not perfect yet though..try and get somebody else to do it because i don't know much scripting.

just copy and paste..as i said, not perfect, but much closer to what you wanted
 
Hmm....it looks a litttle weird. Anyway, I'm using the BOF battle system which edits the Scene Battles. Maybe I'll ask Sefiroth_Spawn....if he can't do it, no one can ^_
 
if he can't do it, no one can ^_

I guess I can't do it then even though I know how Scene_Battle works :P

EDIT but really its not that tough all you have to do is remove all instances of @party_command_window and the phase that controls the party command window and edit @phase to skip the phase you just removed
 
It's actually here:

Code:
    # Make actor command window
    s1 = $data_system.words.attack
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.guard
    s4 = $data_system.words.item
    @actor_command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4])

Just add the 5th command: put this right after s4 = ... line:
Code:
s5 = "Escape"

and modify @actor_command_window so it looks like this:
Code:
@actor_command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5])

Usually works for DBS...

Now you should put some codes so when player chooses "Escape", something will happen. It's not that hard (I added my 5th command before) ;)
 
Well, I was able to delete the Escape/Fight line, and make it go directly to scene_3 of battle (thanks Trickster)

Could someone tell me the code for the escape command? So, I could use it in actor_command_window?
 
ok there is a way easier way to do this in battle 2 line 41 i believe ull find this:


@party_command_window.active = true
@party_command_window.visible = true

Change both those to false and ur done the end problem fixed. Press enter once to activate the fight, skills... menu
 
I already did it Tricksters way, and with that way you don't have to press enter.

Also, I got an error when I added the fifth command in. Window_Command, Line 40

Code:
 self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[index])
 
What.. I need escape to appear on the actor_commands. And with your way, you have to press enter even though nothing is there. It seems unprofessional
