Help Merging FF7 Menu and DVV's LimitBreak Menu

Arcor · Sep 19, 2007

Ok, i'm trying to use both of these scripts in game, but since DVV's Limit Menu script re-writes some of the Menu, it overrides the FF7 Menu. If i switch them round so FF7 Menu is processed last then the Limit Menu is ignored.

As you can see, i've already partially merged them, I've added in the Limit option to the FF7 Script and moved the other indexes down. But once you select Limit and it moves into the MenuStatus window i'm lost as to where i can alter the values to let me actually select the characters...if i've explained that right. Basically, you can now select Limit from the command menu, but you can't select which character to view the Limit information of.

I have them running in this order:

Code:

If anyone posts a merge of the two scripts, could you also post something explaining how you knew where to find the values to change, etc. please? I'm trying to learn a little more of this scripting business

Alistor's 'main' menu is merely a demonstration menu to show you how to call the actual LimitMenu feature. Only a little work is needed.

The very bottom of the Final Fantasy Menu script is the def update_status routine (kinda unformatted here). It is here where you get it to call the Limit Menu.

In Alistor's script, he used this:

Code:

      when 4  # limits
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        # Switch to skill screen
        $scene = Scene_LimitMenu.new(@status_window.index)

You're gonna want to do a little tweaking to make it look uniform.

Thanks :D

Now that i think about it, that seems obvious.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Another slight problem. When i go into the Equip screen, the bar is visible. I've been looking over it and can't find anything that would indicate the bar should be drawn on that screen, but it is.

Understandable.

Use the $lb_hidden value to hide all the actors BEFORE you go to the menu.

Then use $lb_hidden to UN-hide all the actors before you leave the same menu.

Something like $lb_hidden = [2,4,6,8] would hide the first 4 even numbered actors, so enter all their IDs to hide 'em all, then leave the BRACKETS [] empty to show them all.

when you say before you go to the menu, do you mean before entering the equip menu, or the main menu?
I assume the equip screen since it makes little sense to hide it on the menu and keep it visible on the eqip screen >.<

EDIT: Well, i took a shot at it, and it worked....halfway.
The bar's no longer there on the Equip screen, nd it's there on the Menu. However, if you go into Equip and then return to the menu, it's gone.

Wondering if this could be to do with the order of my scripts. Just running a small test in a sec.

EDIT2: Well, i ran the test having simply moved Scene_Equip underneath everything else except Main. I don't think that this is a fantastic idea though, right? Surely there's a reason it was where it used to be.

EDIT THREE O.o:Maybe i could cut a portion of the Limit Break script which defines $lb_hidden then i could move that above the rest of my scripts so that Scene_Equip knows what the hell to do with it? (Since i assume that's the problem)

Now you add the $lb_hidden = [] command in Scene_Equip so just before you exit, this command UNhides them.

That's exactly what i did:

Code:

# If B button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      # Play cancel SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # Switch to menu screen
      $lb_hidden = []
      $scene = Scene_Menu.new(2)
      return
    end

Unless i misunderstood/messed something up :P

DerVVulfman · Sep 20, 2007

Could be where you placed the 'REMOVAL' line (the $lb_hidden line that removes all the actors). :yes:

I'm assuming it may be in the Scene_Main code. Try putting the $lb_hidden/REMOVAL line in Scene_Equip's def initialization code instead.

Not working :S

I have to leave for college in a few minutes, so i'll take a better shot at it later on.
