Hi all!

I am not a very good scripter but I thought it would be funny for my game to use differend battle cursors in battle.

It kinda works like this. U choose fight from the battle commands and the cursor that indicates the target (monster) looks like a sword. When you use a skill, the cursor looks like a wand and when you use an item the cursor looks like a bag.

I don't know if such a script exist already, but I thought it would be nice to share it.


Place the following piece of script in the Arrow_Base script:

Code:

case $battle_cursor
      when 0
        text = "ToF-BattleSword"
      when 1
        text = "ToF-BattleWand"
      when 2
        text = "ToF-BattleItem"
      end
    self.bitmap = RPG::Cache.windowskin(text)

Below:

Code:

def initialize(viewport)
    super(viewport)

Delete this line:

Code:

self.bitmap = RPG::Cache.windowskin($game_system.windowskin_name)

Place the following line under "def main" in the "Scene_Battle1" script

Code:

$battle_cursor = 0

Find the "case @actor_command_window.index" in Scene_Battle 3 and replace the "when 0" by the lines given below

Code:

when 0
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        @active_battler.current_action.kind = 0
        @active_battler.current_action.basic = 0
        $battle_cursor = 0
        start_enemy_select

Find "def update_phase3_skill_select" in Scene_Battle 3:

Code:

Place:
$battle_cursor = 1
Under:
if @skill.scope == 1

and place:
$battle_cursor = 1
Under
elsif @skill.scope == 3 or @skill.scope == 5

Find "def update_phase3_item_select" in Scene_Battle 3:

Code:

Place:
$battle_cursor = 2
Under:
if @item.scope == 1

and place:
$battle_cursor = 2
Under
elsif @item.scope == 3 or @item.scope == 5

Now place the following pictures in the Windowskin map.

I'm not sure if it works with any battle screen, but if you have questions i'm happy to help and suggestions are welcome as well.

I will post some screens later on.
