[VX] Simple Mouse System

[woratana]

Simple Mouse System
Version 1.5
by Woratana
Release Date: 14/04/2008


Introduction
I scripted SMS because I'm working on other script that will be good if it has mouse function. And I'd like to share this to others after I got permission from Dervvulfman (this script require his script)

I don't have any knowledge about win32api, so I went to find XP mouse script and tried if they work on VX.
Finally, I found Dervvulfman's Mouse Input Module. It works great in VX without any edit.

This script required Mouse Input Module and Near Fantastica's Path Finding
It will allow player to click on menu, choose choice, move on map and talk to NPC by mouse.

It's also included feature to use image for cursor.


Features
- Support to use mouse in many scenes / windows
e.g. Battle Scene, Shop, Name Input Screen
- Click on map to move player using Path Finding
- Click on NPC when player is close to that NPC to talk.


Demo

Download Simple Mouse System Demo
Download vx_mouse.rar for demo.
or you can get the script in text file from there.

Thanks RRR for hosting this.  ^_^


Script
I think it's easier to download demo,
since I've edited some lines in Near Fantastica's Path Finding script.

Instruction

Hey Wortana Would it be hard to make it so when you click on a person/event it walks uptothem and automatically clicks on it?

I.E.  if I click on a person in a map my character will walk upto him then try to activate dialog automatically.

I.E. If I click on a treasure chest it will walk upto it and automatically open the chest.

Secondly would it be possible for the walking script to goto the point you clicked and if you continue to hold down the button it will then goto the point the mouse  is at when that move is done and on and on.?

Walk to event is not hard, I'm thinking about the automatic talk part.  :smile:

EDIT: I got solution for this now.

Well, you can just click on the destination, and player will find the way to there itself. That's why I put path finding in it.

I scared it will lag if it has to calculate path finding all the time while mouse is holding down.

Nice scirpt, But one problem. I got a error message when test playing

 

[Yeyinde]

Jrr Kein, it might help if you say what the error is rather than just stating that you have one.

 

[namkid9x]

you can use script " Mouse API " . it very nice>! use for RMXP and RMVX

 

[Skaithe]

I like this script a lot, however, I seem to be experiencing minor problems with it sometimes when I go through transitions to other areas. Sometimes when I go through a transition and start to move again, it sends me back through the transition from the wrong map position.

I can't really explain it better than that and it doesn't happen every time...but it happens enough to be noticeable. I was actually hoping to find a way to only enable to mouse for combat and menus and disable it from pathing entirely.

 

[woratana]

@Jrr Kein
As Yeyinde said, please give more information about that.

@Yeyinde
Thanks~

@Namkid
Is mouse API you means is the one I'm using >_>?

@Skaithe
Well, I haven't try it with transition yet.

I think I may put the option to choose where to use mouse in next version

Would it be possible to make it so that you can trigger an event by clicking it without having the player move all the way to it? This is something I kind of wanted in the XP script but no one ever tried to attempt it.

 

[woratana]

@Hero
lol, Dejavu...
I already put that in the next version

[NEXT VERSION :: NOTE]
- Using Modern Algebra's Path finding that is faster, and has better algorithm.
- Added setup part, you can add the scene that you don't want to use mouse, configure many things in script.
- You can now click on event, NPC, and player will automatically walk to that event and interact.
- You can put some tags in event's comment, e.g. '[mauto]' to run this event automatically after you click on it.

Okay. When I'm test playing with simple mouse script. I got an error message that tells me about the mouse module/classes. Is it me or I need to modified the script a little  :tongue:

 

[Akin]

Awesome script man works greats. I was just wondering if it's possible to mod this script somehow to make it select battlers by simply mousing over their sprites rather than having to always have the menu showing?

Spoiler: example pic

What I mean is rather than having to mouse over the yellow area to select your targeted could you mouse over the green area instead.

 

[Jrr Kein]

Gaw. Yes, I need help on this scirpting of yours

All I did was copy and pasting. What's wrong with the scirping :P

 

[woratana]

@Jrrkein
You may put 2 version of mouse script in it, so stack is error.

It usually happens when there's alias on method that already defined.

@Akin
I've no plan for that yet.

 

[Hero]

Any plans for when the next update comes out?

 

[Jrr Kein]

So how can I fixed the stack error?

 

[Skaithe]

So how can I fixed the stack error?

Sounds like delete the script and just recopy the script from here and paste it back into your script editor and you should be fine.
