Close option to click inside the option menu

[ACECORP]

When you open the menu shown in the screen shot below, in a town, dungeon, or on the overworld map, it would be nice to have a choice at the bottom below the "Game End" choice that says "close menu" that will simply close the open menu screen so you can return to playing the game. Does anyone have a plugin for RPGMaker MV that does this? Or if nobody does, can someone describe how and what I could do to make such a plugin?

Is there a reason why just cancelling out is no good?

Yea... I have a d-pad with an a and b game buttons in there and it's not intuitive to the players to not use the d-pad and buttons. So I wanted to add a "close menu" option there so they can just slide the d-pad down to select "close menu" and then press the a button like they do with all the built in menu choices.

This can be done using the menu command manager.





Here is the code that will create a "Close" command for your menu


var TH_SceneMenu_closeMenu_createCommandWindow = Scene_Menu.prototype.createCommandWindow;
Scene_Menu.prototype.createCommandWindow = function() {
TH_SceneMenu_closeMenu_createCommandWindow.call(this);
this._commandWindow.setHandler('closeMenu', this.commandCloseMenu.bind(this));
};

Game_Unit.prototype.addMenuCommand_closeMenu = function() {
var command = new Data_MenuCommand("closeMenu", "Close");
this.addMenuCommand(command);
};

Window_MenuCommand.prototype.addCommand_closeMenu = function(cmd) {
this.addCommand(cmd.name, cmd.symbol, cmd.isEnabled(), cmd.ext);
};

Scene_Menu.prototype.commandCloseMenu = function() {
SceneManager.pop();
};


You can either create a new plugin file, or add this to the end of menu command manager.


Then, to add the command to the party, you would use the script call


$gameParty.addMenuCommand_closeMenu()


Which will add the command to the end of the party menu.


This is how it will look




If you want to change the name of the command, look at the code and look for "Close".


You can also rename menu commands using script calls provided by the menu command manager.
