popup(text, $data_items[@parameters[0]], value)
# Continue
return true
endInstructions
To use the auto-item popup add-on, insert the scriptlet above line 126 in the main script. This will create a window that says "Acquired item" or "Lost item" whenever you used the Change Items command.
To create a popup window, use the following syntax through Call Script:
popup(text, item, value)
text = string you wish to display (in "quotations") or an integer for a predefined string
item = (optional): use $data_items[ID], replacing ID with the database item id.
value = (optional): the quantity of items. If set to 0, will not appear.
Example call:
popup("Journal entry added") -> see above screenshotpopup(2, $data_items[1], 3)-> "Acquired ID1 x 3"
To customize windowskin opacity, font name, color, size, and predefined text, go to line 23 and edit!
FAQ
none.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with most scripts, except for any that utilize "class Window_Popup".
Credits and Thanks
Thanks to BlueScope for feedback and helping to fix the width issue.
Author's Notes
fun fact: this is Regi's first script :!: (not including minor edits and scriptlets) inspired by the automatic "obtained item" window from MotW.
