[VX] Picture Menus, yes and no, but not really Options

[Alt_Jack]

Yep, I'm back. I brought something neat with me, too. It's a menu system, but it uses pictures instead of words. It shows you a bunch of pictures, then you "point" to the one you want (hold a direction key) and hit enter, then it "moves" the cursor over to the picture and selects it.

[Show/Hide] event code

show picture 1, name, upper left (100,00)
show picture 3, arrow, upper left (200,00) (your arrow HAS to be the top-most picture, otherwise it'll disappear)
show picture 2, name, upper left (300,00)
label: start
text-transparent: ...
set move route player (repeat) wait: 60 frames (locks him in place)
condition branch: the down button is being pressed (nothing, unless there's another picture)
branch end
condition branch: the left button is being pressed
move picture 2, upper left (100,00)
text: are you sure?
yes: show balloon: player, heart
wait 60 frames
when no move picture 2, upper left (200,00)
jump to label: start
branch end
condition branch: the right button is being pressed
move picture 2, upper left (300,00)
text: are you sure?
yes: show balloon: player, heart
wait 60 frames
when no move picture 2, upper left (200,00)
jump to label: start
branch end
erase pic 1
erase pic 2
erase pic 3

actually, that's not entirely accurate; holding the direction button, then hitting Enter triggers the picture to move. It's a picture, not an actual cursor. It just creates this illusion in a flimsy sort of way. But, it has the potential to be the start of bigger, better things.
The position co-ordinates are also relative, and require a bit of playing around with. Just remember to keep the arrow as the top-most picture, otherwise it'll disappear

I also have a picture/art gallery event in the Event submissions section; might be something to look over, too, O' masterful artist.
