THEIRONBULL'S PROFILE

No, my cursor isn't set up by events. My cursor is my character. I just use the Move Event change sprite. If you're making your title screen with changing pictures, yeah, you have to do that if you want a different graphic for every option. Say if you want New Game, Load Game, Credits, and Exit to light up instead of having a cursor point at them, then yes, you would need two pictures for each: the dull and the lit pictures. Same goes for blinking options. You would then need to call each picture with events. If you make your character the cursor, however, you only one picture: your title screen. Menu options can be just plain written onto your picture, then make it so that you can point at them just by moving the character. Turn the character into an arrow, or a finger, or a chevron, and you're fine
My first menu screen used the method of menu making you're trying to do. In fact, let me see if I've got a demo of that up.

Feel free to open it in the editor and see how I did it.

You don't need to use a script. Making the changes in your command scripts is a much better way of streamlining code.

Show

Window_TitleCommand:
In "Create Command List", find the command lines for continue and shutdown, usually at lines 36 and 37, and put a # in front of them.

Find "Update Window Position". Here, you're trying to get rid of your title command window that still says new game, so you're just going to push that out of the way. Find "self.y" (probably line 29), and change that 1.6 to 2.6.

Scene_Title:
In "Start Processing" find "create_command_window" (usually at line 17) and put a # in front of it.

In "[New Game] Command" find "close_command_window" (usually 110) and put a # in front of that.

And you're done changing your command scripts, but you're still going to need things from them. What you've done is set things so that the game automatically starts on whatever map your main character set point is on.

Since you say you've got your menu somewhat working based on a demo project, I'm going to assume you have figured out how to call scene commands in your events. Your problem is getting your title screen selection to change. Using variables for this completely unnecessary. Simply have a passable event that triggers on event touch for each function you want to perform and make sure the surrounding tiles are unpassable

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X(player starts here) New Game X
X...............................Load Game X
X...............................Credits X
X...............................Quit X
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

If your cursor automatically moves to the other side of the title options automatically when you continue to hold, simply put an unpassable event set to event touch above "New Game" that transfers you to Quit, and one below Quit that transfers you to new game.

You can also do this with a menu in a circular pattern. Simply put your player in the middle of the four unpassable events and set them all to event touch.

...............................New Game
Credits....................Player here.............Load Game
....................................Quit

No variables necessary.
