Ring Menu ! For everywhere!

[Ulqiorra]

Oh, alright. No worries, I have a habit of leaving my script topics alone for months after i update the script...

@trebor: Not really, seemed kinda random to me... either way, I think I noticed something like everytime I chose an option, it'd return to the 'move' option being highlighted... and well, all of a sudden, it turned to the disabled option... (I probably should've checked if it'D skip another option now and therefor shift the displayed items or something...)
I suppose it's got something to do with two menues being activated at the same time, along with like a single exchangd number or leter in the script noone ever notices while scripting ^^ (I know that...)

If I got time to test this a little more in-depth, I'll give it a shot...

Wow, this looks SO amazing! Too bad i dont have very much scripting knowledge--tried but, cant even put it into something as simple as the title screen-- otherwise, i would add it to everything!

 

[Nolund]

Wow! This looks absolutely incredible!

I've been looking for something I can use to spice up my game a bit, and I think this is just what I've been looking for. This will go really well in my battle system.

Trebor, you're a beast.

I wish I could script...
But I can't

No fair, now I can't put this in my battles ;(

Maybe you could upload a demo where it is implied in the battle system?
Would be appriciated by, I guess, alot of people.

@Trebor: I haven't been able to reproduce the bug, but it all seems to be originated at one being able to scroll through the options and ending up at different options than "move/stop" by doing that at just the right moment. Your code looks fine too (well, it's not exactly good style, but it looks flawless from a more quicker glance), so I guess if you just prevent the player from scrolling through the options while movement is still executed and therefore switching options, that shoudl settle it.
I should probably mention that what I tested was the VX version.

@gast: There are detailed instructions in the first post which really are pretty easy to follow... maybe the reason you can't script is because you never wanted to work for it, eh?
That aside, why would you want something in your game everyone else has as well, getting it directly from a pre-made battle script? Just use the defaults then...

 

[Bird Eater]

Humpf, I'll try to put it in, but if it won't work... Yea...

But I did try to understand it!

 

[BlueScope]

In that case, you're always welcome to ask for support in the RGSS Support forums... ^^

Hello Trebor~ I found a bug D=
I asked my friends to figure out how to use your ring menu and it worked pretty sweetly~ but there's a problem

In case you are curious on what we did~

 

class Scene_Battle

sorry for the late answer...
I think it's because you're recreating a new ring menu each time, when it is the actor's turn... I'm sorry , i don't really remember how things are in rm, lol haven't touch it in month, even more on the default rgss script themselves.
So yeah, i'm not sure, but that could explain, the previous menu being still here and not disposed when displaying the new one. the ring menu, like the original command window(if my memories are correct, should be created in the initialize method of the scene_battle.
and then simply moved to the correct place ( like you do on line 66-67 ) in start_actor_command_selection.

Basically ring_menu act as a window ( you'll see that both classes share similar methods ). So
1st -> replace the original window where it's created.
2nd -> just adapt code from the way you can access current option from the menu ( which doesn't seem to be the problem here anyway )
3rd -> ENjoy!

 

[trebor777]

Bump

1st Post updated, due to Newer version
Demos updated as well,
New stuff is :
.Better and Simpler code structure, Menu_Options now Inherits from Sprite, less redondant code
.More comments, explaning what does what
.Move Command: @menu.move(x,y)
.Doesn't block other graphics update
.Introduction of Refresh Delay: Menu is only update every "delay" frame, by default delay is 1, so it's updated every frame.
.For options, name is now independant, and doesn't not setup the icon->
in VX: if the icon parameter is a number, it'll look in the iconset, but if it's a string, it'll look in the icon folder, as it would happen in XP
in XP: the icon parameter is a string, to look for a file in the icon folder.

about Move: => So you can "animate" the menu while it's being used, see the demo

how exactly do i get this to work in my own game?
