MOUSIE The Mouse System
Version: 3.1
Introduction
With this, you can use Near Fantastica's 'Pathfinding' script to move the character around with the mouse's point-n-click interface. Or you can use it to control menu window functions with some simple edits. Heck, you can even set the system to change the mouse cursor over pre-defined map events.
Features
Move your character with a point-n-click interface (Pathfinding required)
Control the menu with the mouse (Edits to the menu required... sample supplied)
Cursors change over pre-defined map events
True Double-click capability
True Mouse Continuous Pressing capacity
Mouse Press compatibility with Cybersam's Full Keyboard script
Map event clicking for sim-like games
Screenshots
Nah... just shows a mouse cursor over the screen... though the cursor can change over some events.
Instructions
Very little needs to be configured... adding mouse icons into the system, setting a few clicking parameters, pathfinding range. All of which are covered in the script.
To use this with Near Fantastica's pathfinding system, the pathfinding system must be placed ABOVE this system. This system supports both versions 1 and 2 of Pathfinding. It can work with both Pathfinding systems in your project, but this system will work with version 1 (for speed preferences) rather than version 2.
It does not need 'Pathfinding' to operate. However, the character will not move without one.
Any edits to the menu system should be placed BELOW this system, such as the edits by Lambchop below.
Edits
Below, you can see how this system can be used to manipulate the default menu system. The supplied code was created by Lambchop to control nearly every facet of the menu interface by mouse input.

Important Windows Edit Note
The demo does not include the revised copy of the Windows Edits above. The revised version properly handles the default English Name Edit Window, even considering the empty column between capital in non-capital letters in the window. There is a comment within the code which notes and recognizes the bottom most portion of the CHARACTER_TABLE holding empty characters.
Credits and Thanks
First of all, I'd like to credit Lambchop for getting me involved with this mess. ;p Hahaha... just kidding. She helped me to avoid 'Battlesystem Burnout' for all the battlesystem code I've worked on for these past months.
I also have to credit Mr.Mo for portions of the mouse-cursor system, Behemoth for some portions of his mouse input system, Near Fantastica for his Pathfinding system (one of the reasons I got involved), and Corbaque (a French scripter) who was responsible for the double-click system.
I also have to thank Delmaschio of RMVXP.Com and House Slasher for noticing that autorun events did not hinder point-n-click movement... now fixed. Along with that, allow me to thank sixtyandaquarter for bringing up the idea of enabling and disabling menu and movement functions in the system. And thanks to Reives for the idea of changing the entire set of mouse icons in-game. Finally, thanks to sixtyandaquarter for getting me off my butt to add the event-clicking feature.
And insofar as menu edits, please give credit to yamina-chan who noticed that the default windows edits had not considered proper spacing and handling where the Name Edit Window was concerned.
Terms and Conditions
Free for use, even with commercial projects.
Yeah... really. Use it. You just gotta credit all of us involved.
