Lock Screen
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 02/06/2008


Introduction
Someone may know that my laptop AC adapter just broke, and it ran out of battery.
So I can't really do the big script or continue my Foxsuke project.
(I've backup the project, but it's not newest one)

However, I'm using other's laptop and installed RMVX.
That's why I have new script even though I can't use my laptop >_>.

This script will lock the screen from scroll when the switch that you choose turn ON.
I think this should be good for cut scene or something like that.

Enjoy~

Script

Bug Report?
Please give me these informations:

- What is it says in error window?
- When is it get error? (Right after run game, when you choose something, etc.)
- Do you have any other scripts running in your game that may crash with this script?

That's a nice idea for a script.  I've always just made the player invisible and used proxy events for the player, but this is a nice, simple way that lets you use the actual player object. Nice work, worale.

Thanks MA. I'm glad you like it.

Short and sweet. Well done worale ^^
It's easier just to generate the code than write it all out, right? (At least for us lazy scripters >_>)

Thanks

Some scripts, I wrote because I'm lazy to do that with event.
