Instructions
Copy the following scripts from the demo into your own scripts file, placing them above Main:
- Start Game
- Mouse 1
- Mouse 2
- Mouse 3
Change the icons in the Graphics/Icons folder to suit your game. Extra icons can be added, and must be inserted into the Mouse 2 script, at the top and around line 150.
Add the following comments to events to add specific mouse functionality:

- ArrowX - on a comment on line 1, tells the script to show a certain cursor when the mouse moves over this event. By default, Arrow is the default cursor, Arrow2 is a talk bubble, Arrow3 is a hand, Arrow4 is a sword
- Mouse[x-offset, y-offset] - on a comment on line 2, tells the script to move the player to the specified offset, then turn towards the event and trigger it. For example, Mouse[1, 2] will make the player move one tile to the right and two tiles below the event, turn up, and trigger the event (useful if you want the player to stand below a sign or bookshelf before reading it)
- Name abc 123 - on a comment on line 2, tells the script to show some popup text (abc 123) when the mouse moves over this event. If using the Name comment and the Mouse comment, the Mouse comment must be first on the line
Script
This system consists of several scripts, one of them quite large. Please download the demo and take them straight from the project.

Known Compatibility Issues
- This script redefines the Game_Character.passable? function. If you have any mods to this function that you have made (or other scripts have made), you will need to reapply them to this script
- If you have any windows that inherit from Window_Selectable but use non-default item sizes, you may need to add functions for oh and mouse_oh as shown in the Mouse 3 script
Demo

Author's Notes
With the pathfinding, sometimes the player will have to click twice on an NPC that's set to move around - with the first click, they'll walk up to where the NPC is at the time, but the NPC could move away while the PC is walking. The trigger will only happen if the NPC is still within trigger distance.
The icon, mouse offset and popup text were all added at different times, and require a total of 2 comment lines. You COULD alter the script to allow them all to appear on line 1 and all be optional.
Restrictions
This script can be used in freeware and commercial games.
