Warped Movement for Window_Selectable

[Zeriab]

Hey all
I was a bit bored and fiddled around with the movement of Window_Items. I found the way I represent here better. I decided to make it broader and have created a solution intended for subclasses of Window_Selectable
I will provide two versions. One if you want to only apply this on certain windows and not others. Another that just changes the functionality of Window_Selectable.

Here is the mix-in version for changing specific classes: (demo)

#==============================================================================
# ** Warped Movement mix-in for subclasses of Window Selectable
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Zeriab
# Version 1.0
# 2007-08-22 (Year-Month-Day)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Description :
#
#   This is a mix-in module for windows subclassing designed to 'enhance' the
#   arrow-key movement system used to select the item by creating warping.
#   That is, if you are at the bottom and press down you will go up to the top
#   in the next column. Like-wise for down, left and right.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Instructions :
#
#   Place the script anywhere above Main.
#   To give a subclass of Window_Selectable let it include the module
#
#   If you for example wanted to apply the module to Window_Item you should
#   write this code: (Must be below the original Window_Item
# ------------------------------------------
#   class Window_Item < Window_Selectable
#     include Window_Selectable_Type_2
#   end
# ------------------------------------------
#
#   Here is a version for Window_Skill. You get the idea.
# ------------------------------------------
#   class Window_Skill < Window_Selectable
#     include Window_Selectable_Type_2
#   end
# ------------------------------------------
#
#   Note: Don't include this module in Window_Selectable ~
#         May cause issues with Windows where the update method is used
#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================
# ** module Window_Selectable_Warped
#==============================================================================
module Window_Selectable_Warped
  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    last_index = @index
    super
    if last_index == @index && active && @item_max > 1
      if Input.repeat?(Input::DOWN)
        # Move cursor down
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cursor_se)
        @index = (@index % @column_max + 1) % @column_max
      end
      # If the up directional button was pressed
      if Input.repeat?(Input::UP)
        # Move cursor up
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cursor_se)
      @index = (@index % @column_max + 1)
      @index = -@index % @item_max + @item_max % @column_max
      @index -= @column_max  if @index >= @item_max
      end
      # If the right directional button was pressed
      if Input.repeat?(Input::RIGHT)
        # Move cursor right
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cursor_se)
        @index = (@index + 1) % @item_max
      end
      # If the left directional button was pressed
      if Input.repeat?(Input::LEFT)
        # Move cursor left
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cursor_se)
        @index = (@index - 1) % @item_max
      end
    end
  end
end

Next we have the change for all Window_Selectable subclasses. This also requires less work. (demo)

      @index = -@index % @item_max + @item_max % @column_max
      @index -= @column_max  if @index >= @item_max
      end
      # If the right directional button was pressed
      if Input.repeat?(Input::RIGHT)
        # Move cursor right
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cursor_se)
        @index = (@index + 1) % @item_max
      end
      # If the left directional button was pressed
      if Input.repeat?(Input::LEFT)
        # Move cursor left
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.cursor_se)
        @index = (@index - 1) % @item_max
      end
    end
  end
end
Instructions are in the script header. Enjoy ~

This is a nice little enhancement. I like it.

[Kokowam]

I don't get what it does because I haven't tried it out yet

[Leventhan]

I'm using MOG's CMS,
so probably I won't be using it
But! I tried it, and....it's cool!

I don't get what it does because I haven't tried it out yet

Read the Description on the first script.

[Zeriab]

I'm glad you all liked it

I have no idea whether it has any effect on MOG's CMS or not. Maybe it will have a bad effect? I do not know.
Maybe you could try the class version? Tell me what effect it have. Oh, and naturally remember to have a back-up

[Falcon]

Why the hell isn't this in the database!?

Nice script, like the idea

[modern algebra]

Nobody will think poorly of you if you move your own script into the database Zeriab. Do it for the children.

[Zeriab]

Oh, uhm.... This is just a little snippet. Didn't think it was good enough to put in the database
Maybe I underestimated its usefulness?

Anyway since you guys want it moved I'll move it
