Advanced Command Windows

This was lost, unfortunately, during many of the transitions this forum has had, so I'm gonna repost it.



 
This is a script which allows you to make vertical or horizontal command windows with or without icons as well as have changing text and or text color depending on what's selected. You can also disable the cursor easily.
Keep in mind all of the original command windows in all of the scenes will still work correctly.
 
Replace Window_Command with this -

You can make Command_Windows as normal, however if you wish to make an advanced command_window, ALWAYS use the following format to make things easier on yourself.
 

Code: [Select]

a = 200 #Width - REQUIRED
b = ['Command','Command','Command'] #Commands - REQUIRED
c = nil #Type (0 = Vertical, 1 = Horizontal) - OPTIONAL
d = nil #Text Alignment (0 = Left, 1 = Center, 2 = Right) - OPTIONAL
e = nil #Commands When Selected (EX: N E W  G A M E) - OPTIONAL
f = nil #Color of Selected Command - OPTIONAL
g = nil #Icon names (EX: ['Icon1','Icon2','Icon3'] - OPTIONAL
@command_window = Window_Command.new(a,b,c,d,e,f,g)

The things that are required must obviously be filled out. The things that are optional you can leave as nil and it will work fine.
 
To disable the cursor, use -
 

Code: [Select]

@command_window.disable_cursor

Screen Shots - (cropped - only a couple combinations are used in example)
 

 

 

this is great Tsunokiette-senpai~!!

thank you for this... I'm sure to use it.. ummm can i ask you for sometthing tho if you don't mind (if you do mind I'll ask anyways XP)...

is there a way to have this Command window to delay it's apperance?, I mean... have the player stare at the intro screen for a bit before giving the command (e.g Start game, etc) kinda like the was Thousand Arms for the play station did.... it was like it said the tittle and then after the title kinda got toghether you could THEN actually start the game.

I dunno is just a thing that I wasn't sure if it was possible.. any help of course is beforehand very much apreciated~ xD

 

You could mess around with conditional statements, returns, and whatnot in the update method of Scene_Title to keep the command window from appearing before you want it to. Be sure to have the branch function BEFORE any method in "update" is called that can accept button presses like Enter for C and what not.

That is a pretty neat script. Nice job.

how do you use this???
were to put this

a = 200 #Width - REQUIRED
b = ['Command','Command','Command'] #Commands - REQUIRED
c = nil #Type (0 = Vertical, 1 = Horizontal) - OPTIONAL
d = nil #Text Alignment (0 = Left, 1 = Center, 2 = Right) - OPTIONAL
e = nil #Commands When Selected (EX: N E W  G A M E) - OPTIONAL
f = nil #Color of Selected Command - OPTIONAL
g = nil #Icon names (EX: ['Icon1','Icon2','Icon3'] - OPTIONAL
@command_window = Window_Command.new(a,b,c,d,e,f,g)

You put it in the same place you would normally initialize a command window. Just look at Scene_Menu to understand. It's exactly the same.
