I have been looking for this for a while. Thank you very much i'm gonna use it in my project

 

[mjshi]

@JamesRyan You're welcome ^^

 

[OnslaughtSupply]

Excellent plugin! Thank you for this. I'm going to use this as a lock pick system in my game.

 

[JamesRyan]

One thing, @mjshi: I have just thinking about using this in a mobile game. Let's focus only about the directional buttons (Up, down, left, right). Is there a way to let player swipe the screen to trigger the buttons? Because i'm also using this Swipe Input plugins (http://sumrndm.site/swipe-input/) but i don't know how to make it work together with your plugin.

 

[mjshi]

@JamesRyan I wrote a quick thing for you. Place it below Swipe Input.

 

[JamesRyan]

Truly thanks for this, @mjshi! You are the best

Which folders do you place them in, do some go in images and some go in system?

 

[mjshi]

@Alexander Hawksmoor
Drag the folder named "chaincmd" into img/. Nothing goes into system.

This is a compatibility problem. Take a review of your plugin list and try to move Chain Command to another spot on your list.

Very nice!

 

[mjshi]

@dragon1up the issue you described should have been fixed in update 1.0a. It was a problem with how I was overwriting the plugin command function and was present in two other of my minigame-type plugins... honestly it was an elementary mistake xD I forgot to put a single word in there and it still worked while testing stuff so I didn't notice it. Sorry for the confusion!

 

[JamesRyan]

Did the one supporting swipe input also get updated to v1.01a, @mjshi?

 

[mjshi]

@JamesRyan Nope, thanks for reminding me xD That one's been updated too!

 

[JamesRyan]

I have been using that one so i will always remember it Btw, you also forgot to update the help section in your plugin (Still "v1.0" there), but i know it affects nothing

 

[mjshi]

@JamesRyan Yeah-- forgot about that as well in my rush to fix the problem xD I've updated the version number-- it does help with avoiding confusion since some people might still have the old copy that had the bug.

 

[padr81]

Is there a way with this to trigger variable instead of switches?

 

[mjshi]

@padr81 No, but what you can do is have a conditional branch after the minigame that checks if the switch was turned on, then you can add 1 to whichever variable you want ^^
