Reconfiguring the controls ?

[Jason]

Hi,

So I'm just wondering, is there any way that we could possibly reconfigure the controls, and I don't mean by pressing F1 (or F2, forgot lol), but by completely recoding which each button does, so for example, pressing ESC would bring you to the shutdown screen, pressing I will open your inventory, and so forth in that manner.

Is it possible, or just some crazy idea that doesn't work ?

I am sure you can, I will look into it to find out if you can...but I am pretty sure that you need a script for that. You could probably ask one of the scripters around here to make it, but I don't think that it is in the default scripts.

Yeah, I know it isn't in the default scripts, since I'll be needing an input module, but then I'll need a seperate script that can make calls to open specific scenes, I'm just not sure how I'd go about it. Hopefully someone can help me out though

First, I recomend you my Input module http://www.arpgmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=59160.

And, for making the calls it depends from where(The scene you are) and when.

For example, opening the Inventory with I from the map:

class Scene_Map

  alias_method(:old_update, :update)

  def update

    old_update

    if Input.trigger?(Keys::I)

      $game_player.straighten

      $scene = Scene_Item.new

    end

  end

end

Or better this script, which will make you return to the map instand of the menu when you exit the inventory:

class Scene_Map

  alias_method(:old_update, :update)

  def update

    old_update

    if Input.trigger?(Keys::I)

      $game_player.straighten

      $scene = Scene_Item.new("Scene_Map.new")

    end

  end

end

 

class Scene_Item

  def initialize(return_scene = "Scene_Menu.new(0)")

    @return_scene = return_scene

  end

  def update_item

    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)

      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)

      $scene = eval(@return_scene)

      return

    end

    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)

      @item = @item_window.item

      unless @item.is_a?(RPG::Item)

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)

        return

      end

      unless $game_party.item_can_use?(@item.id)

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)

        return

      end

      $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

      if @item.scope >= 3

        @item_window.active = false

        @target_window.x = (@item_window.index + 1) % 2 * 304

        @target_window.visible = true

        @target_window.active = true

        if @item.scope == 4 || @item.scope == 6

          @target_window.index = -1

        else

          @target_window.index = 0

        end

      else

        if @item.common_event_id > 0

          $game_temp.common_event_id = @item.common_event_id

          $game_system.se_play(@item.menu_se)

          if @item.consumable

            $game_party.lose_item(@item.id, 1)

            @item_window.draw_item(@item_window.index)

          end

          $scene = Scene_Map.new

          return

        end

      end

      return

    end

  end

end

If you want, tell me details and I will make it for you. Or if you want to do it yourself, I recomend you to search in the scene where the Input is called and add there modify the key you want to use, or add a method for a new call.
