so.....

how do i add keys?
how do i activate keys?
how do i use this other than put it in...lol

All keyboard + mouse keys are listed in the Keys module. For seeing if for example the key G is pressed, do:

Code Select Expand

if Input.press?(Keys::G)
  [...]
end

how do i add keys?

Well, I don't understand what "add keys" exactly means. If you want, for example to make some action to be called by a key trigger, it depends on the action you want to call.

how do i activate keys?

Pressing the keys in the keyboard? Or what do you mean?

how do i use this other than put it in...lol

If you don't know scripting this may be a bit difficult to implement, but it shouldn't be really complicated. Also, using this script for something depends totaly in what you want to do. For example, if you want to make the player to run when pressing the F key, you had add to the method update from Game_Player for example:

Code Select Expand

if Input.press?(Keys::F)
  @move_speed = 5
else
  @move_speed = 4
end
If you want to make for example a Monster book scene when pressing the key M, you had to add to somewhere in Scene_Map:

Code Select Expand

if Input.trigger?(Keys::M)
  $scene = Scene_MonsterBook.new
end
So it totaly depesn on what do you want to do. If you explain me a bit what do you want, I will try to help you.

wheres your Name Input, Number Input, and Password Input add on?

That's another script, my Write script. I still have to improve it, but first I want to work on my ARGSS library project, as it will improve lots of things and I want to finish it first before advancing with my other scripts.

Sorry for necroposting, but I have a question.  Does this script support controllers by any chance?  Or, is it possible to add support for them?  I'm currently trying to make a game that makes use of several controllers but I don't know how to take input from more than one controller at a time.  Alright, thanks.

How is it possible to activate mouse input for the whole game, from menu selection, to directional movement? Thank you.
