THIAMOR'S PROFILE

Now my problem is that I can get Key Input Processing and Conditional Branches to work, to an extent.

Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish, first. I am working on a game that is nothing but a mini-game of sorts. Imagine the old Mario games, where you travel on the over-world map, going to level after level. Basically that is what this game is. But there is a twist. You cannot control yourself directly whilst on the Over-World map. You push Shift and it randomly picks a number between 0 and 40.

If it picks anything from 1 through 8, it moves you different directions. Anything from 9 through 21, it places you into battles.

Anything from 22 through 32, it will either heal you, allow you to save the game, or throws you into a boss type of battle.

Anything from 33 to 40, it will give you items such as weapons and/or armor that you cannot get from stores or regular battles.

They will have levels you can access whilst traveling on the Over-world map. These you will have to beat, to progress the map further. They have stores, or long, unbearable maps, or little fights you have to get passed. The game's focal point is that it's meant to be annoying, whilst being thrown into a mini game status. The name of the game is "The Most Annoying Game in the World".

Now my main problem is adding anything to disable the use of the directional keys whilst still being able to access the menu. So they will HAVE to press shift to move, as Shift is the button that generates the random number. Which causes them to move/get into fights/what have you. The problem is that it either places a lag, then opens the menu up when clicked, or doesn't allow movement or key pressings of any kind.

Also I did think of adding a key to access the menu, but I'd still rather directional keys being disabled. Anyone here have a simple solution for this conundrum?

What I tried to do was use Conditional branches using Key inputs for Up, Down, Left and Right and call upon either that number the key uses, or the Variable reference the numbers are located on, then makes it where the character is put into a "waiting" status from the "move event" function if they press up, down, left and/ or right (if I'm explaining it right.)

But nothing seems to work.

I wanted to talk about this, before even setting up a group project for it.

I wanted to do something along the lines of an ONLINE Music Simulator, in RPG Maker XP.

One that has instruments on the 'field' and you go and pick one to play, then when you do, you're locked into it, so every button plays a sound, and that if you hit CTRL+Shift, you can quickly change the sound and instrument version of that instrument.

I thought it'd be interesting to do, and others could log in to listen to them play their music.

Then implementing a function, say on mouse, that uses the scroller to "Echo" sounds.

How exactly would you feel about a game like that on here? Would you play it, or pass it up?

One other thing would be custom pixeling, so when you play the instruments, it's pixeled to move with the instrument, when they play it.

Is there a possible way to make it where when on rpg maker 2003, that when text appears, it shows your HP?

There is a command for the text, that shows your current gold, so is there one for HP?

I'm wanting to know, if it's possible, in anyway, shape, fashion and/ or form, to be able to open up and run, 2 RPG MAKER 2003 programs at once?

I am needing, is a Title screen made up for me, if and only if, someone is willing to do it, obviously for free. I'd pay if I could.

What I'm needing is a Title screen that mixes 'The Past, Present, and Future" together. May that be the left side showing something from the Past, middle being present, and Right being the future.

Nothing too random. Like 3 parts of a same image, but one being old, one being current, one being new.


Then over top it of, an overlay, if you will, with letters that will match, that says:

"Through the Glass of Time"

Anything else, is up to you, to add.
