# Instructions:
#
# Place this script into the editor above Main and above any other scripts
# that modify the perform_battle_transition method of Scene_Map. All
# transition graphics you want to use MUST be in the System folder of
# Graphics.
#
# To change the battle transition, use this code in a call script event
# command:
#
# change_battle_transition (new_transition)
# new_transition : either the name of the file in quotations, or the ID
# of the graphic as it appears in the TRANSITIONS_ARRAY constant,
# which can be configured below at line 46. If you set it to a
# negative number, then it will select a graphic randomly from the
# TRANSITIONS_ARRAY.
#
# By default, the battle_transition is set to -1, meaning that it will
# randomize between the elements of TRANSITIONS_ARRAY

#
# TRANSITIONS_ARRAY holds the names of transitions graphics so they can
# be accessed by ID. The primary purpose of it is for when you want to
# randomize the transition to be chosen, but it can also be useful for
# identifying battle transitions simply by ID rather than remembering the
# exact name when wanting to change it.
#
# To set it up, simply list them in the array like so:
# TRANSITIONS_ARRAY = ["trans 1", "trans 2", ..., "trans n"]
# They do not have to have a naming scheme. To be included in this
# array is sufficient.

Support
Please post in this topic at rmrk.net if you encounter any problems or have suggestions for improvement. Do not PM me.
Known Compatibility Issues
It overwrites the perform_battle_transition method of Scene_Map, which could potentially cause problems with other scripts. If you run into a problem, try placing this script above the problematic scripts and that will fix it as long as the other scripts alias and do not overwrite that method. Otherwise, contact me with the other script and I will get them to work together.
Demo
A demo would be an insult to your intelligence, or else an insult to my explanation skills.

Sure, you can create your own transitions as long as you're graphically inclined. For instance, mitch has made some good ones: http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=30118Modern Algebra could you change this script so that it works for map transfers to please?
i would like a transition when changing maps , not just the same old fade in/out.
EDIT: nvm found it
