NARCODIS'S PROFILE

I don't mind people good at this using it. But for people who failed trig, my aim is to replace that voice with "I can do this. I'll just do it another way."

If you dont mind people using trig to solve problems, seems kinda weird youd seek out this one eight-years-old tutorial about how to use trigonometry in an engine that doesnt normally support trigonometry to tell everyone how trig isnt necessary.

I realize this tutorial is fairly old, but there's a fatal flaw here. You use a Move Event command with a repeated Wait to halt the player's movement, but this doesn't affect other potential moving events on your map. So if you have, say, moving enemies on your map that start a battle when they touch you, and you're in the menu, shit goes wrong.

I feel like making the menu Auto Start is the best way to resolve this, but some people have indicated lag. I'll do some experimenting.

It's been a long time since I wrote this tutorial (over seven years, holy heck). There are definitely multiple ways to do things, and I definitely recommend you do what works best for you! In custom menus I've designed in the past, I activate a switch to indicate the menu is open. If there's an event I also want halted, I add a blank event page activated by that menu switch to the event I want halted. You might not want ALL events to halt when you open your menu. But maybe you do!

I know there have been a lot of extremely significant changes made to the RM2k3 editor and runtime engine since its english release, so I guarantee almost all the information in this tutorial is pretty well out of date. Hope it was at least a bit helpful to you, though!

Ah, because I can't seem to find "Erase Event" option on RM2k, I assume you can't do this in RM2k, huh?

I'm not sure if RM2k does or not... most likely not. RM2k3 did a lot more with the engine in little subtleties like that.

But if you want a work around, you can turn on a switch at the end of the "initializer" event that leads to a blank page that isn't auto-start. Effectively would do the same thing.

as for the when you're showing the cursor, it would also be better to use "move picture" with 0.0 wait, than to keep using show picture as it costs considerably more to keep loading the picture. This applies to anytime a picture is being used btw. If the picture isn't changing, it's better to move it with move picture.

This I did not even think about. Good call. I'll make a revision right away.

and @the code in the first picture, you're right in doubting the wait doing anything, as it doesn't.

Good to know! Another revision.

Since you only one box is checked in the key event process, the only possible value of the variable will be 6, thus making the branch unneccessary, and always happening.

While this is true, I created this with the idea that people might also want to keep other keeps open to do other things, like maybe hit Shift to swing their sword, or press a number to use an item or something like that, in which case forks would be necessary anyway.

I think this program useful for picture coordination if anyone's having trouble with it.

Awesome, I'll put that in right away.

Thanks for the comments!

Damn the double post.
