[VX] Turning scripts on and off

[J4iru5]

I'm using Near's Simple 8 way movement system and was wondering if it can be turned on and off with a switch, preferably this script is only enabled in certain maps.
So the 8 way movement is only enabled in map 001-007 either using scripting, or an event that will also turn off the 8 way movement when outside the map.

For reference to Near's Simple 8 Direction movement system;

Gladly welcome any help, cuz i'd really love it.

There are two ways to proceed here: use a switch, or limit the use to certain maps.  The procedure shown here is deliberately generic, since it can apply to many situations.

First, here's a way to wrap code so it will work only if a switch is on (in this case, switch 15):

# If switch 15 is on
if $game_switches[15]
  # Code to activate/deactivate goes here
end

Switches can be accessed in a script using $game_switches

Thanks for the help, but i'm still kinda confused. In the case of Near's movement script, where do i place it in the script if i'm using code where it only works in maps 7-18, and what would be the code to activate/deactivate be?

This is the modification to make to that script.

class Game_Player
  def move_by_input
    return unless movable?
    return if $game_map.interpreter.running?
    #If map is ID 7 through 18
    if $game_map.map_id>=7 || $game_map.map_id<=18
      input=Input.dir8
    else # Otherwise
      input=Input.dir4
    end
    case input
      when 1;  move_lower_left
      when 2;  move_down
      when 3;  move_lower_right
      when 4;  move_left
      when 6;  move_right
      when 7;  move_upper_left
      when 8;  move_up
      when 9;  move_upper_right
    end
  end
end
