[VX] Creating a "submenu" within the command window

[ikos]

Alright, this may be a little weird, but in the command window, I would like a smaller window to popup when I select a certain command.
Such as;

Item
Skill
Equip
Status
SYSTEM
  [Save]
  [Load]
  [Exit]

Within the main method of the scene, create an extra command window with those commands, and make it invisible and inactive like so

@command_window2 = Window_Command.new(160,['Save','Load','Exit'])
@command_window2.x = your x position
@command_window2.y = your y position
@command_window2.visible = false
@comand_window2.active = false

You can also just have a method call in the main with the method defined as above, to make the code look neater i.e.

make_command_window_2

Then, in the update method of the scene, there'll be a clause saying something like

if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
  case @command_window.index
  when x
    do stuff
  when y
    do more stuff
  when z
    do other stuff

etc...
For the correct index of the command menu, just write the code

when index
  @command_window2.active = true
  @command_window2.visible = true
  @command_window.active = false
  @command_window.index = -1

That would pretty much achieve it. From there you can just use the regular methods and such to ensure stuff happens in the sub-menu. If you need more help, feel free to ask

If you're requesting help to get you started, I'll do so; if it's a script request (i.e.: you want someone else to do it), then this needs to be posted in the Script Request forum.

Oh, sorry, mate.
I just figured since I wasn't asking for the exact script but more like how I'd get started; it would go here.

I thought this was a good way to start him off ;P
I'm sure you can handle it from here, if you know how to use command windows etc. That's a pretty good basis you can easily use.

No need to be sorry, you posted in the right place. It's just sometimes it's hard to discern between both.
