# Scene Tutorial
# Version 1.0
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: September 15, 2008
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Description:
# This script allows you to freeze user input for a scene and run a special
# common event that controls input. Effectively, this allows you to run a
# scene and direct a tutorial to that scene that explains what the scene is.
# So, if you ever wanted to give the players to your game a tutorial on
# using the Menu scene, then this is the script for you.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Instructions:
# Okay, this script can be slightly difficult to use, so you have to pay
# careful attention to the instructions.
#
# To start a tutorial, you must use a call script with this code:
#
# $tutorial.start (scene, common event id)
#0
# where scene is the name of the scene to call, (like Scene_Menu or
# Scene_Battle) and common event ID is the ID of the common event that
# controls the tutorial. Now, that's the easy part. Setting up the controller
# common event will be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it,
# you'll be fine. Now, read the instructions very carefully:
#
# The Standard Wait Variable - You set what Variable this will be at line
# 200. The value of this variable determines how many frames to wait for
# after each command.
#
# The controller common event is similar to a regular common event in some
# ways but many of the commands will be unavailable to you while others will
# be irrelevant and others still will have a different effect than you would
# expect. In the instructions, I will go over the functions of what will be
# the most important commands in making a scene tutorial, but I just wanted
# to warn you that many commands will not work as you expect them to. (For
# instance, pictures, screen tone etc... will only work in a battle or map
# tutorial). So, depending on how the scene is built, some things are
# possible while others are not. Note, however, that in a number of cases,
# you can simulate the effect that is not possible. That being said, it can
# get quite convoluted, but that was as far as I was willing to go with this
# script. I apologize for the difficulty.
#
# Anyway, there are a couple of specialized commands that have their function
# changed from what they would normally do. These are:
#
# Control Variable
# Set Move Route
#
# These have been changed so that rather than do what they would normally,
# they instead interpret input. Since player input is frozen during a
# tutorial, scene movement is handled by you, the game creator. It is done
# through these two commands. This can be rather non-intuitive, but for each
# value of 0 through 19, a button is attached. It is similar for Set Move
# Route, but let's go over the variable way of setting input first.
#
# To set it, it must be a single variable set to a constant. If any other
# option is chosen, then the Control Variable command will function normally.
# Also, the control variable command will behave normally if the variable you
# choose is the one you choose for setting standard wait time. Anyway, here
# is the list of values and their effects:
#
# 0 - Down Cursor
# 1 - Left Cursor
# 2 - Right Cursor
# 3 - Up Cursor
# 4 - Button A
# 5 - Button B
# 6 - Button C
# 7 - Button X
# 8 - Button Y
# 9 - Button Z
# 10 - Button L
# 11 - Button R
# 12 - SHIFT
# 13 - CTRL
# 14 - ALT
# 15 - F5
# 16 - F6
# 17 - F7
# 18 - F8
# 19 - F9
#
# If you want to wait some frames, the Wait command will work normally.
#
# Set Move Route has a similar set of moves attached. They are:
# Move Down - Down Cursor
# Move Left - Left Cursor
# Move Right - Right Cursor
# Move Up - Up Cursor
# Move Lower Left - Button A
# Move Lower Right - Button B
# Move Upper Left - Button C
# Move Upper Right - Button X
# Move at Random - Button Y
# Move Toward Player - Button Z
# Move Away from Player - Button L
# One Step Forward - Button R
# One Step Backward - SHIFT
# Jump - CTRL
# Wait - Waits for however many frames
# Turn Down - ALT
# Turn Left - F5
# Turn Right - F6
# Turn Up - F7
# Turn 90 Left - F8
# Turn 90 Right - F9
#
# So basically, using those commands will make the scene react as if the
# corresponding button had just been pressed.
