Title: Map menu[VX Ace]
Post by: Lethrface on April 05, 2012, 03:50:54 AM
Alright so I have an idea that I could use some help with.  Right now, I would like to make a map menu similar to Silent Hill's where you open up your menu and you can go to your map and see the layout of the area and preferably where you are too, but I'm mostly worried about opening the map.  My scripting ability is pretty limited to modifications of the default systems and so far I have come up with a pretty nice 1-party member menu that I'm going to use for my game but I'm not great with things like this without an IDE with intellisense lol.  I figure this would be simple so if anyone could tell me how to do this at the least, that would be cool.  If you go the route of showing me how to do this rather than creating the window/scene, I'll need this information:

*How to get it to display a picture based on what map you are on
*how to set comments in the map properties to tell the map scene where you are so it can display the picture accordingly.


Maybe one of these days I'll follow my friend's ruby tutorials too...lol


UPDATE: I may not need any help but if anyone has an awesome idea of how to do this, feel free to share it.  Sofar, I've learned tonight how to access notes from the map properties and call the values in a menu...all from scanning through some other people's scripts to see how they do it and I've learned a few tricks lol.  Of course, there will ALWAYS be a better way to do it so if you have any awesome ideas, please feel free to share :)
