[RESOLVED]: REQUEST: A script for enabling/disabling options at the title screen

Rep: +0/-0Level 88
Hey guys...

I only know a little bit of RGSS - enough to edit a few things, but not enough to do something on the title screen. I'm not really sure if this will work, but hopefully a scripter can tell me. Currently, I have an edited Title Screen that has 4 options,
New Game
Continue
Mini Games
Shutdown

I have it so that when the user selects mini-games, he goes to a mini-game map with access to mini games of course. The New Game, continue, and shutdown options all work as well.

The thing I need help with is to get it so that once a player gets to a certain place in a game in one of the save files (preferably the end), he gets access to the mini games. If he is not far enough in the game, or hasn't started playing yet, the option for Mini Games is grayed out and cannot be used. I myself don't know enough RGSS to do this, but I imagine it would have something to do with a variable or a switch near the end of the game, that when switched on lets the option for Mini Games to be available in the main menu?

Thanks a lot for anyone who can help me with this. Here is my current Scene_Title script.

Replace the horribly named variables with the map id, x coord, and y coord.

You'd need to combine Scene_Load and Scene_Title to gray out the command. I'd give it a shot, but I have too much work to do/

Rep: +0/-0Level 88
 Thanks a lot for replying.  :) I got the Mini Games section to work now, and it teleports to a map.

I then tried to use Scene_Load with Scene_Title, and I basically killed it, because I don't know enough RGSS. Hah.  :-\ ;D

Anyways...Could someone post their normal old Scene_Load, so I can see it and use it? Mine has a bunch of weird squares in it...dunno why.

And also, could a scripter point me in some sort of direction as to how to go about doing what Darklord said?

 Thanks a lot nevfx.  :)

That worked great...now I gotta figure out how to do what Darklord was talking about....hm..

If I figure anything else out, I'll post it here in case that it helps others.

You need to use a for loop to load files, then close them and see if anyone of them has the switch you want on.

If your new to scripting, give up and get someone else to do it.

Sorry for double posting - anyways, could a scripter or someone tell me if this would work for what I'm trying to do?

Somewhere near the beginning of Scene_Title, I could have something like..

Code: [Select]
@mini_games_enabled = false
if $Game_Switches[numberofswitchatendofgamehere]
   @mini_games_enabled = true

Would something like that work? Once again, I know little RGSS and this script is only stuff I pieced up from looking at the script editor. Hopefully I don't look like a complete idiot (I probably will.. ;D).

Thanks.

try something lie:
@mini_games_enabled = false
for i in 0..3
<Read Load Data Method>
if $Game_Switches[X] == true
   @mini_games_enabled = true
end

Thanks for trying to help...

I messed around with what you said, and I can get the Mini Games option to be greyed out as long a switch is off, but I can still select it and go to the map...Kinda weird.

The game isn't accepting <Read Load Data Method>, and keeps putting out errors when I use it. What is this for? It just gives me a SyntaxError when I try to run the game.

I am starting to think you are right, but I'm not really sure who I could get to do it.

If you don't understand how to call a method, give up on the script right now and request it.

Rep: +0/-0Level 88
Erm, sorry for wasting your time then. :-\

Thanks a lot for the help - at least I learned a little more RGSS.   :)

I suppose I should request it on a different website...or just in this same forum? I don't see a requesting forum...

Change the topic to request.

You need to make a method that loads the file, sees if the switch is true, and then enables the choice. Personally though, I'd just give it up and forgot about the switch thing, save files are annoying.

Rep: +0/-0Level 88
 Ok, thanks.

I'll request it for a while, and if for some reason no one has the time or the ability to do the request, I'll just forget about it.

I wanted the script as a means so that mini games could be a reward for beating the game.

Code: [Select]
@mini_games_enabled = false
for i in 0..3
    filename = "FILE NAME HERE" #Don't remember this part.
    if FileTest.exist?(filename)
        file = File.open(filename, "r")
        $game_switches      = Marshal.load(file)
        if $game_switches[SWITCH NUMBER] == true
            @mini_games_enables = true
        end
        file.close
    end
end

This probably will not work. It's been a long time since I've done something like this. Let me look up some old work.

Just under "def main" put:

Code: [Select]
@mini_games_enabled = New_Game_Plus.get_val

In a new script put this code here and change SWITCH_ID and the other commented line.

Code: [Select]
module New_Game_Plus
 
  def get_val
    switch = false
    for i in 0...3
      filename = self.make_filename(i)
      if FileTest.exist?(filename)
        file = File.open(filename, "r")
        if file.mtime > latest_time
          latest_time = file.mtime
          $game_temp.last_file_index = i
        end
        switch |= self.read_data(file)
        file.close
      end
    end
    return switch
  end
 
  def read_data(file)
    characters_dummy = Marshal.load(file)
    frame_count_dummy = Marshal.load(file)
    game_system_dummy = Marshal.load(file)
    game_switches = Marshal.load(file)
    return game_switches[SWITCH_ID] ### change to used switch ID
  end
 
  def make_filename(index)
    return "Save#{index + 1}.rxdata" ### change to savefile name format
  end

end

I wrote that kind of out of my head, so I don't know if it works. Try it out and tell me.

Visit our website.
You can also love/hate us on Facebook or the game itself.

 Ok Blizzard, I tried it out and I get this error:

Script Scene_Title line 12: NoMethodError Occured.
Undefined Method "get_val" for New_Game_Plus:Module

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

And @Tsukionette, I'll try yours in a sec..

BTW: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TRYING SO FAR. XD

EDIT: Tsukionette: I tried the script, and instead of
Code: [Select]
filename = "FILE NAME HERE" #Don't remember this part.
I put
Code: [Select]
filename = "Save#{index + 1}.sav
(mine are in .sav format)

I put this in Scene_Title btw...I hope that was right.

Anyways, I didn't get any errors, but even when I choose a Switch_ID that I KNOW is off, it still keeps Mini Games Enabled. I'm not really sure why..
