Scripts

[Show/Hide] Map does not scroll with Player

CODE

#=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#             Map does not scroll with Player
#    !- You are not required to give credit to anyone for this script -!
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#  Description:
#
#    This script stops the map from scrolling with the player. Its only use
#    is to mimic old Zelda style games where the map would scroll when you
#    would change rooms, otherwise staying still.
#
#    To scroll a map you will have to use the Scroll Map event.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#             Author: DiamondandPlatinum3
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#  Description:
#
#    This script puts the battle menu at the top of the screen rather than
#    at the bottom where it normally is. It also moves the skill and items
#    box below the battle menu, looks nicer in my opinion.

Nice! There really aren't enough of these kinds of scripts. I think people tend to forget that the addition of smaller features like these can make all the difference when it comes to making a game. I can already think of a number of uses I can put these to. Cheers!

[diamondandplatin...]

Thank you for the morale boost

[amerk]

Awesome, the Escape snippet makes its way to VXA. The map scroll prevention is also a nice tool to have.
