Attract Mode v1.10, Just like in the arcade! Options

Attract Mode
Version 1.10
By: Glitchfinder

Glitchfinder's Attract Mode is a script that allows you to mimic a classic feature of both arcade and console games. This script will modify the title screen so that, when left idle, it will take the game to a map. While on the map, the game will function normally, with the exception that any input from the player takes you back to the title screen. It is recommended that you set up an autorun or parallel process event on the map, to provide some sort of cinematic while the game is idle.

Screenshots

While this script is too dynamic to properly show through screenshots, I do have a video I can show:

The video is here.

Demo Link

Instructions

Place this script above Main, and below the default scripts. (I realize this is obvious to most, but some people don't get it.)

There is a Scriptastic class immediately following this header. Just change the settings found there to your liking. This script is very simple to use. Note that map is specified by ID. This is the number displayed on the status bar of RPG Maker XP while editing a map, to the left of the map name.

For example, 001: MAP001 (20x15)

1 would be the ID of this map, although 001 could technically be used. This number can also be found in the title of the Map Properties window.

With a video script and some eventing, that would be quite easy. All this script does is waits for 10 seconds and then go to a map. The rest is evented so a call script from a video script wouldn't be to hard to make. Neither the random thing.
