Battle music toggle? Options

[pudding]

Hi!
Before anyone says anything, yes I know you can change the battle music using an event but (and please correct me if I'm wrong and you can do this by eventing!) I was wondering if there was a script to do this. Basically, each time the actors go into battle, a theme from a pool of 5 will be chosen at random so if you get into a battle the music changes every time. I'm sure you can do this with eventing and I just can't figure it out, but either way (scripting or eventing) help would be MAJORLY appreciated. A game with a good example of this is Visions and Voices if anyone has played that. I can't figure out how they did it . Much appreciated!

Can be done by eventing if you're using map monster encounters, otherwise you would need a script to do random battle themes just before battle.


I did it for you, so here you go

Oh my gosh, thank you so much your the best! I cannot wait to try it!
So I just tried it and I got a small error :/ "Script 'Battle Music Toggle' line 68: NameError occurred. undefined method 'call_battle' for class 'Scene_Map' This is most likely something I did wrong. What I did was I named the 5 battle themes Battle1, Battle2 etc. Is there anything else I should do and that's why it's not working, or maybe another script is preventing it from working? Either way, I'm sorry to bother you but this script looks so cool and I would really love to get it to work!

[diamondandplatin...]

Well I wrote the script for RMVX, are you using that maker?


I'm guessing you must be using RMVXA, I can write the script for that as well

I cannot believe I forgot to tell you that. Ah, so stupid, my mistake so sorry! Yes I'm using ace and I would be so grateful if you wouldn't mind doing an ace version. That would be splendid. Thank you and sorry!
