Ingame menu

[FullMetal]

Hello, I'm trying to show the player how to equip a weapon, I know how to call up the menu screen up but i don't know how to make a text box come up when the player clicks on the right button?
EG "go to you're  equips" player clicks on the equip button " right now do this"

Well there is a faster way, you can just script call:

$scene = Scene_Equip.new

to directly go to the equip menu rather than the main menu.

I'm steel new to RMXP and i don't really wont to use script's

This isn't even a script, it's a script call. You use the event command "Call Script" on the last page and just copy-paste the code in...

If you want a help menu to come up when the player selects "Equip", you'll need to use scripts.

If you type up the instructions you want to use, one of us can script it for you.
(and we'll make it very easy to install.)

Be Well

I'd take screenshots of the desired menus and display them as pictures. With the pictures up you can use message boxes

Lol Aerif, I was JUST about to say that, but it seems you think the same XD

 

[FullMetal]

can you link me to a guide that will show me how to do this?

What Aerif was suggesting is that you load up your project. Play test and go to your menu inside the game. Take a screenshot using the print screen key. Than open up an image editing program, (paint, photoshop, gimp, paint.net etc) and paste in the screenshot using CTRL-V. Work on the picture until you have only the menu screen. Save this picture and put it in your Yourproject\Graphics\Picture folder. Then you can make an event that shows a picture. While the picture is showing you can create text boxes. To get it to switch between Scene_Menu and Scene_Equip use the "Script..." event command and use the line Regimos suggested:

$scene = Scene_Equip.new

However I get the suspicion you want the user to witness all this including the moving of the cursor rect to various locations. In which case as stated above you will need a script or a very creative use of showing pictures.

Good luck with it FullMetal! :thumb:
