Text Input during Battle Topic

Has anyone played around with using Name Input screen events in combat?

I was trying to make an event that would let you type something in during combat, and realized you can't actually call that screen during battle (at least every time I tried it would just skip over the event.)

Anyone have an idea/or have a snippet that would help me accomplish such a thing?

I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that the scene it's being called in can't be called during battle? I'm playing around with a few things but figured I would ask ;^^

I took a brief look at how Ace handles Name Input...

class Game_Interpreter
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Name Input Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_303
    return if $game_party.in_battle
    if $data_actors[@params[0]]
      SceneManager.call(Scene_Name)
      SceneManager.scene.prepare(@params[0], @params[1])
      Fiber.yield
    end
  end
end

...and, of course, it's not as simple as just commenting out the first line. Scene_Name ends it's processing...

class Scene_Name < Scene_MenuBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Input [OK]
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def on_input_ok
    @actor.name = @edit_window.name
    return_scene
  end
end

...with a "return_scene" function, which has the effect of making it look like the battle was reset. At least with the minimal testing I've done.

Getting around this isn't going to be easy, because the only way I can figure it is to take the windows that Scene_Name uses in it's "start" function...

class Scene_Name < Scene_MenuBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Start Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def start
    super
    @actor = $game_actors[@actor_id]
    @edit_window = Window_NameEdit.new(@actor, @max_char)
    @input_window = Window_NameInput.new(@edit_window)
    @input_window.set_handler(:ok, method(:on_input_ok))
  end
end

...and throw them into Scene_Battle? I'm becoming less and less certain of this as I type, to be honest.

Hey, I tried a similar approach and all I ended up doing was crashing VX Ace repeatedly lol!

At least seem to have gotten further than me.
