Custom Commands
by Dargor
Version 1.16

Introduction

Here it is, the little brother of the XP Commands Manager script!

It helps modifying these commands without having to worry about their index in the window.
NEW: Version 1.5 supports commands substitution based on actor's class ID.

#  INSTRUCTIONS:
#     1) Place this script above all custom scripts and below all 
#         default scripts
#     2) To change the default menu commands, use:
#           - $game_system.menu_commands = [string1, string2...]
#               or
#           - $game_system.add_menu_command(index, command)
#               or
#           - $game_system.remove_menu_command(command)
#     3) To change the default party commands, use:
#           - $game_system.party_commands = [string1, string2...]
#               or
#           - $game_system.add_party_command(index, command)
#               or
#           - $game_system.remove_party_command(command)
#     4) To change an actor's battle commands, use:
#           - $game_actors[id].commands = [string1, string2...]
#               or
#           - $game_actors[id].add_command(index, command)
#               or
#           - $game_actors[id].remove_command(command)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  NOTES:
#     - When using the following methods:
#             > $game_system.add_menu_command(index, command)
#             > $game_system.remove_menu_command(command)
#             > $game_system.add_party_command(index, command)
#             > $game_system.remove_party_command(command)
#             > $game_actors[id].add_command(index, command)
#             > $game_actors[id].remove_command(command)
#       'command' can be a String or an Array
#     - This script overides the following methods:
#             > Window_PartyCommand 
#               <> initialize
#             > Window_ActorCommand
#               <> initialize
#               <> setup

#             > Scene_Battle
#               <> update_party_command_selection
#               <> update_actor_command_selection
#         This script will be incompatible with any other scripts 
#         modifying these methodsunless they are based on the 
#         Custom Commands script methods.
#     - Some message codes are available for command and item names:
#             > Color Change: \C[x]

Script updated to version 1.4.

Mon May 12, 2008 10:03 am

I have it installed and everything, and I was able to add in a custom battle command for actor 2 just under the 'Attack' option (following the scripting demo you provided). Let's say I want to remove that command once it is used, is it possible to do so by calling a common event with some scripting in it, or what exactly would I need to do? And then if I wanted the command to re-appear for the next battle, how should I go about that? I'm figuring I can set a switch with the common event that will auto-run another common event to turn the switch off, and then the command will reappear, but I need to know the syntax I'd need to use, everything I've tried using doesn't work. (I don't script with Ruby much if you couldn't tell. =p)

Anyway, thanks in advance.

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out through lots of trial and error.

I'm now taking Custom Battle Commands and Menu Commands requests.
When asking for a command, please follow this form:

Name: (name of the command)
Type: (menu/battle/both?)
Description: (short description)
Index: (optional, specify the commands position in the window)
Related Scripts: (if another script is needed, specify the name/version/author)

I am sorry if this isn't the exact format you wanted, but I was a bit confused over the name portion. Did you want my name, or did you want me to name the custom menu? Anyways, here is my request. I have been trying to get it myself for the past couple of hours, but I can't figure out how to modify your script easily.

Name: Bestiary
Type: Menu
Description: Bestiary
Index:

Item
Skill
Equip
Status
Party
Order
Bestiary
Save
Exit Program

Related Scripts: Dargor's bestiary.

**Location:** Quebec / Canada

Name is the name of the command.

Here it is reikei.
Place the script bellow the Bestiary.

By the way, "Name" is the name of the command that will appear in the window. I'm sure you don't want Game_System (Menu Command) to appear in the command window

Hope you like it!

Hey, Dargor, since you're taking requests, would you be willing to do the custom commands for FF4VX? :o

**Location:** Quebec / Canada

Sure! It'll be a pleasure.

**Location:** Somewhere!

Ah... shoot. Nevermind. I need to learn how to read.

Sun May 25, 2008 6:49 pm

hey this is from ff4 / ff2jp

Name: Prayer
Type: (battle)
Description: Well in the jap version it would heal your party members by some ammount... not 100% sure how this ammount was done lol..

other info: if you could is there a way to make it so it chooses from 4-5 different skills? I sorta want to make a couple skills get used with it...
like random amounts of healing or just nothing at all... like so if I have 3 skills that heal and 2 that just say your prayers have gone unanswered...
I would like it to choose randomly which ones to use that way its not as if it always heals the same...

Index: under attack or 3rd position
Related Scripts: none that I know of

I added a little customization module. You can randomize prayer skills, set the success rate depending on the actor, choose which actor has the Prayer command and more!

Mon May 26, 2008 4:36 pm

so I put this below the command script and add it to party members XD hmm...
oh yea is there a way to make it so they have to have a certain (item in inventory) or equiped equipment?
Item would be easier but I was actually wandering is it possible to set it based on class?
either way works but actually the item/equipment way would work better for me I think

thanks XD I figured since Atemu asked for ff4 skills that I would recommend something about prayer XD

I love that prayer has not been heard haha... what I was originally going to do was set the 2 different skills with failure messages but this works better haha

gonna mess around and make other skills XD

ok well this worked for me and I am using http://hbgames.org/forums/index.php?topic=45777.0
and well lets just say that using the Prayer skill works...
but it casts all 3 skills one after another

hmm ok that might not be right lol hmm ok I seem to have screwed up and made themattack skills

now if only it would show the skill messages

So you're using Tankentai's CBS... I don't guaranty compatibility with this CBS because this one overrides a lot of methods...
I've designed this script for the Default Battle System.

It's probably because the Ineffective_Skill is still 93. Change this value for the ID of the 'Failure' skill.

Hi there, I was wondering if you could make a battle script for me. It might be a bit much to ask for, especially the second part, which if it's too complex, can be omitted.

Name: Scan/Sketch
Type: Battle
Description:
This goes hand-in-hand with the Beastiary. Basically, when an actor uses a skill from the skills menu, let's say scan, it'll add the enemy into the Beastiary book instead of just from encountering them in battle and automatically adding them from encountering them, and if possible reveal the monsters Remaining Hp/Mp, weaknesses, and perhaps a little "thought" or message which could be set in the script and could show up in the beastiary as well.
(If you've ever played Super Mario RPG, it's sorta of like Mallow's Psychopath skill)

Related Scripts:
Dargor's Beastiary

Thanks a bunch!

Edit:
Oh, I have one more question/request!
Sorry if this is pushing it. . . :down:

But for your Skill Draw Script, is there any way to have only selected actors have limited skill usage?
I seems that if you use it long enough your other team members will run out of skills to use, since it's limited to 99 uses.
So basically I'm just asking if theres away to have the Skill Draw Script effect only selected actors, but everybody have unlimited Skill Usage instead of the max of 99 uses like they would normally have on the default battle skill system? And is there away to keep learned skills on the actor unlimited but the skills drawn limited by the number drawn?

Sorry again if it's too much/ confusing . . . :down:

Thu May 29, 2008 8:38 am

umm actually for Reliez request
would it not be better to ask if he can read the "Thought" from the monsters note information? that way you do not have to change the script for that information and if you want it changed just update it through the notes on the monsters info

Thu May 29, 2008 8:53 am

are you still taking request? if its posible i need to take off party command and put the command "run" to the actor command window...
