Introduction

This is a small edit of Scene_Equip that basically makes it more compatible with a mouse script. In order to make this happen, the script also makes it so that when you equip something, i.e. a sword, you can still move the cursor and quickly equip something else, i.e a bow or another sword.

Features

• Makes the default equipment screen compatible with a mouse script (i.e. Blizzard's mouse controller) so that the equipment list menu doesn't disappear when the mouse isn't selecting a piece of equipment...see screenshots.
• After equipping a weapon/armor, you can quickly select another piece.

Demo
Note: The demo doesn't make use of a mouse input module. It will work, though

# Instructions:
#    -This script is designed to work with the default equipment menu, and is

#     will need to adapt this script to fit the Scene_Equip of whatever

# Compatibility:

#
#   -This CAN be used without a mouse script, but it was made to make

# Author's notes:
#   I edited 2 different things in this script for the purpose of making the
#   equipment screen not glitch up with a mouse:
#
#   1)Adding an empty window to draw when the index = nil (If the mouse isn't over
#     any of the currently equipped items).
#
#   2)Editing the input update for the list of equippable items so that it
#     doesn't automatically return to the list of equipped items.
#
#   If you have a custom equipment menu script, you should edit number 1
#   ONLY.

Instructions

If you are using the default equipment screen:
Put the script above main and below any mouse script.

If you are using Fyre's custom equipment screen:
Put the edit above main and below Fyre's script.

If you are using a different custom equipment screen:
Place this below whatever you are using, and edit my script accordingly. DO NOT edit the frame update, as that is what allows the quick equipping. If you don't know how to script, I'll gladly do it for you if you pm me a demo.

---

Compatibility

• Should be compatible with any mouse script out there, since I only edit Scene_Equip.

Credits and Thanks

• RPGManiac3030
• Blizzard for his Mouse script that I used as a reference

Author's notes
If you use this in your game, please credit me :)
There were some issues when I tried testing the menu with other characters, all types of equipment, etc. and I fixed what I found. If you find any other errors like that, or any compatibility issues, please post it here!
