[RMXP] Disabling Scene Options while the Game is Running

My Problem
When I start the game, I'm trying to figure out how to disable certain Scene Menu Options.
In this case, 'Skill Change', 'Class Change', and 'Distribute'.
In the script, disabling these Scene Options are:
@command_window.disable_item(6)
@command_window.disable_item(7)
@command_window.disable_item(8)
Now, all I need is to find out how to disable this but through the process of an Event; Which is the "Script..." Button. :crazy:


What I Need
Just a line that is able to be put into that Process.
If you have any ideas but can't seem to test it out just tell me and I'll test it :smile:
Again

This is quite simple

Thank Yuh :biggrin:

Take an example from save, and how save is disabled.
Add variables in Game_system: disable_distribute, etc. Make them attr_accessor, so
Then in an event you can do
script: $game_system.disable_distribute = true
I believe @command_window.disable_item(6) on its own only makes the menu option look grey.
You also need to check if the option is disabled, and act accordingly (see save option in update_command)

class Game_System

  attr_accessor :skill_change_disabled

  attr_accessor :distribute_disabled

  attr_accessor :class_change_disabled

1. I tweaked the Game_System just like you said. Easy.
2. I copied the Object Initialization and so to the part it should be in Scene_Menu
*Test Play!*
Start Game option selected
Error! Sentence 210, okay, the ends were messed up but that was because of the whole code thingy.
Okay, fixed it. Still an error. I don't deal with this stuff. If you could give me some advice on that.
This is the last part and it says Error.
Lines 205-209

      end

      return

    end

  end

end

And one more thing, thanks for redoing the Frame Update for me. :smile: I'm too lazy to do that :shades:

 

[silver wind]

You're welcome. ^^
It sounds like there's still a missing 'end' or one too many.

It sounds like there's still a missing 'end' or one too many.

Okay, finally you got on,
Now it's saying that the update in the script line 69, is
a undefined local variable or method 'update' for #<Scene_Menu:0x3accff8>
This happens right when I call up the menu in the game. I have not set up the Event to disable the Distribute, Class & Skill Change.
If you need, I can show a list of custom scripts I'm using.

Um.. don't replace Scene_menu, paste a new page with your script below scene_menu and above main. That way, your methods will over-write the original ones. I didn't copy the method update, as it doesn't need to be overwritten.

Okay, I'll do that later...Im busy for today
