[RMVX ACE] CHOICES & SCREEN SCRIPT

1) That would probably be an instance of Window_Selectable, with an edit to the "cursor_down" and "cursor_up" functions. I'm not 100% sure if all you'd need to do is switch/rename the "down" function with the "up" function. However, it would be a start!


2) I get the impression that this particular Show Choice is merely for show, since the end result is always going to be the same. In that case, you could probably do a regular Show Choice, and completely ignore filling the choices out.

If I'm wrong, you can safely ignore me on this point.


3) For a brief moment, I was thinking about Myriad Cypher, and how the player-character there can rotate. However, I'm not sure how useful looking at that game would be for what you want.

Looking into it a bit more, I can see via the help-file, and the script-editor, that there's a "rotation" method for the Sprite class, and an "angle" property for the Game_Picture class. However, a window's contents is an instance of the Bitmap class, which doesn't appear to have a similar function.

1. Changing up and down functions in Window_Selectable works! Thank you! However, it changed an entire game. I have no idea how to use this via switch or script call when only needed.

Yeah, if you change Window_Selectible itself, it would have that effect. I think a quick hack fix would be to include a conditional branch based on a game-switch being active, or a game-variable being a certain value. So, something like...

class Window_Selectable < Window_Base
  def cursor_down(wrap = false)
    if $game_switches[1] == false
      # If the game_switch with an ID of 1 is disabled, the cursor moves as normal
      if index < item_max - col_max || (wrap && col_max == 1)
        select((index + col_max) % item_max)
      end
    else
      # Otherwise, invert the movement!
      if index >= col_max || (wrap && col_max == 1)
        select((index - col_max + item_max) % item_max)
      end
    end
  end

  def cursor_up(wrap = false)
    if $game_switches[1] == false
      # If the game_switch with an ID of 1 is disabled, the cursor moves as normal
      if index >= col_max || (wrap && col_max == 1)
        select((index - col_max + item_max) % item_max)
      end
    else
      # Otherwise, invert the movement!
      if index < item_max - col_max || (wrap && col_max == 1)
        select((index + col_max) % item_max)
      end
    end
  end
end

...this?
