Would you accept event system for this? If so, here's one:

Conditional branch: Button L pressed # alternatively "Script: Input.trigger?(Input::L)"
_Conditional branch: Item "Map" posessed
__Conditional branch: Switch [0001] is ON
___Erase picture: 1 # that's your map
___Switch [0001] OFF
__Else
___Show Picture: 1, map, blabla
___Switch [0001] ON
__End
_End
End

that's kinda hard to understand...

I think Actingman meant delete just his post. I assume he posted, then erased what he posted...???

Will there be only one map in your game? (as an item that the player can open?)

Yeah that's what I did.  I meant to reply to something else lol.

You're not being very detailed in your request....

Is the map image larger than the screen? (640x480)
Do you want the pop-up to show the players current location on the map?
And, if so...  How? (Red X, Cross hairs, Blinking Sphincter, or just centered on current position)

Crose Eye
See Picture
Describe Picture
Ask someone to, "Make look like picture."  :scruff:

Be Well

 

[XeKia]

Ok then

Details:
The map is (450X450)
http://picshift.shiftlimits.com/files/6 ... ld_Map.png[/img]
no i don't want a marker showing your current location
I just want it to engulf the screen when you press M then when you press M again it goes away...
the pic's name is World Map

 

[Brewmeister]

Aaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll  righty then!  :scruff:

Here ya go.  Paste right above main.

Spoiler: World_Map

class Scene_Map

  alias scene_map_update update
  
  def initialize
    @map_showing = 0  # current picture number
  end
  
  def update
    scene_map_update         # Call the original update method
    if Input.trigger?(Input::Z)   # 'D' key   (R = 'W' key)
      # If map is already showing
      if @map_showing > 0
        # Erase Map
        $game_screen.pictures[@map_showing].erase
        @map_showing = 0
      else
        # determine if any other pictures are showing
        for i in 1..50
          if $game_screen.pictures[i].name == ""
            @map_showing = i
            break
          end
        end
        # display picture
        $game_screen.pictures[@map_showing].show("World_Map", 1,
                 320, 240, 100, 100, 255, 0)
      end
    end
  end
end

This uses the 'D' key.  You can change the Z to an R to use the 'W' key.

Be Well

A script is really not needed at all to do this.  Honestly arevulopapo was right WAY at the beggining.  A simple event should suffice.  Now, may I ask...How do you make a game if you don't even understand simple events such as using a conditional branch?  Just curious...

 

[XeKia]

I know how to use the event system -.-
it's just that i don't want to copy/paste the freaking event on ALL my maps...

(also this game is mostly story line...)

EDIT: also yes thank you BrewMeister :lol:

 

[AbyssalLord]

You don't have to post it on ALL of your maps.  Just use a common event.  (I'll end at that since this topic has been fully answered already, and I'd rather not become pestiferous).
