[XP] Cheats Input Script

[alexanderpas]

I was wondering if a cheat could do any of these?

• Turn on/off a switch

$game_switches[putIDhere] = true #switch on
$game_switches[putIDhere] = false #switch off

I would like changing a variable too. However, when you find these out could you pm me how to Rpg Gamer?

$game_variables[putIDhere] = number #set variable

@alexanderpas:
I don't get it... explain?

i mean, just like in zelda when in certain games you input a certain name in the name entry and you get a special thing.

Spoiler: for example

if you put in ZELDA as name in links awakening, you get a special music played

 

[alexanderpas]

okay... i incorperated the cheat entry into the name entry... (man, that was easy!) you bettter look into this because you will be stunned by it too it's too easy if you ask me

$game_switches[putIDhere] = true #switch on
$game_switches[putIDhere] = false #switch off

$game_variables[putIDhere] = number #set variable

You wish it was that easy. I already tried that before, however, the switch or variable don't change. If a switch was on or off, it'll just stay the same way.

it works over here (at least with my version)

I was wondering if the case-sesnsitive issue was ever resolved.

 

[BudsieBuds]

@alexanderpas: Ohh... like that! That's indeed very easy.

@Darth Cid: Well, no. Trickster and SephiriothSpawn where working on it, but I believe they never finished it. I shall try to contact SephiriothSpawn soon.

downcase

Returns a copy of a string with all uppercase letters replaced with their lowercase counterparts.
The operation is locale insensitive
Only characters A to Z are affected.

"hEllO".downcase # returns "hello"

Hey every one check out this new site for more help and scripts it is brandnew soo were still workin on it so there arent to many posts but were gona need your help to get started if you do help we will post your name on the fron page!!!!!!!! this is the site type it in your url box freewebs.com/vote4cesar..

 

[BudsieBuds]

Could you fix that case-sensitive problem for me?

~Budsie

 

[alexanderpas]

instead of using. (accepts only exact as you've written)

# ------------------- CHEAT ENTRIES -------------------------- #
        if @edit_window.name == "ZELDA"
          # Play title BGM (example effect ;))
          $game_system.bgm_play($data_system.title_bgm)
          # remove following two lines if you wish to allow the cheat as a name
          @edit_window.restore_default
          return
        end
# ---------------- END OF CHEAT ENTRIES ---------------------- #

you simply use

# ------------------- CHEAT ENTRIES -------------------------- #
        if @edit_window.name.downcase == "zelda"
          # Play title BGM (example effect ;))
          $game_system.bgm_play($data_system.title_bgm)
          # remove following two lines if you wish to allow the cheat as a name
          @edit_window.restore_default
          return
        end
# ---------------- END OF CHEAT ENTRIES ---------------------- #

which accepts Zelda, ZELDA, zelda, ZeLdA etc. (note that the check must also be downcase "zelda" )


this means you can decide per entry if you want it to be case-sensitive or not!

Horay! Nice script!

Just one issue, can i make it hit a button and it brings up the cheat menu???

also it doesnt show up on my main menu!

 

[BudsieBuds]

@Asmodeanmage - Well, you'll have to input it in your menu first, otherwise it won't show up indeed. Search the forums on how to do that!

@alexanderpas - Thanks, but... I don't really get it.
Please explain as detailed as possible...

~Budsie

 

[Asmodeanmage]

Putting it in my menu??? Already done!

Doesnt take scripting skill to find your version of Scene_Menu

Find the changes and BAM insert into mine! :p

But yeah about the whole press a button....

 

[BudsieBuds]

You'll need the Keyboard Input script for that feature... again; search the board!

[ZekeKatana]

how do i add a cheat where the character graphic swithces?

 

[BudsieBuds]

Should be fairly easy, but I haven't been scripting for a long time.. so you should ask someone else.

Sorry.

~Budsie

 

[Khengi]

How do I make it so that after entering a cheat, a variable is changed.

 

[brainstorm]

$game_variables[id] = true

 

[Khengi]

equals true? Wait, shouldn't it equal a number?

 

[BudsieBuds]

$game_variables[id] = true

Replace [id] with a number... for example [24]
