Common Event IN Menu Help Required

[rikucotton]

Firstly, please place this in the right forum if it isn't. I can't find it cuz I'm a dumb.

Okay, so I'll get to the point. I made a system to where you can spend a currency to learn a skill, in the skill menu. So it works no problem... here's the problem, I hate having the menu be closed out. I've googled and found the results-- for VX Ace. I know it's a scene interpreter of sorts, but I've googled ANYTHING for MV and came up short... I'm at a lost at this point. any help will be appreciated.

it doesn't exist for MV.

As you already found out, the common events need a game interpreter to function, and by default those only exist on the map and on the battlescreen.
Writing a new Interpreter is not something that any programmer can do - it requires quite a lot of experience in programming. Which is why only one such script existed for Ace and none yet (that I know of) for MV. Maybe someone in Japan might have written such a plugin, but here on this board (which handles all international support outside Japan) no one mentioned any solution for MV the few times it was requested (I once wrote about it but I misremembered, Tsukihime never converted the scene interpreter script to MV).

The only alternative is to re-open the menu at the end of the common event.

You can try this plugin: EIS Menu Common Events
I haven't tried it yet myself, but it appears to add the functionality of calling a Common Event without closing the menu.

No clue if this would help but I made a menu that doesn't change from the map_scene... might help you...

Also is a very good option. Thanks for pointing that one out @Ace of Spades

First one doesn't work for me I'm afraid. The second one I tried but it bugged with the choices and crashed.

Mine doesn't work?
Does the plugin work? Open a menu on the map? common event doesn't work?

Edit:
Oh crap yep that version didn't support other scenes, woops forgot I have to code the rest for the default scene windows (item, skills, etc.) to correspond. Sooo yep crap.. .nvm that for now then. The version I wrote before was for a whole custom menu :/

Edit #2:
Date: 4/5/2020
Items now work.

wow sorry I didn't even know there was a reply... so good news is it almost 100% works. All that is a problem now is when you learn the skill via the menu, you have to hit cancel to end the process otherwise it locks up. I don't get why. I tried to 'exit the event' and 'erase event' but neither of those work.

Edit:
I recorded of what happens... even got an error somehow.

Oh? Hmmm... yeah guess it is still slightly buggy. I'll look into that soon hopefully.
The video is under private though so I can't view it...

I get that but what am I suppose to take a screen shot of once I open it?

of the entire console output, that is the right part of the example window given in the post above.
he need those error messages to see what is going on and what went wrong

okay so apparently from what I can tell maybe it's because I went too fast in the menu or something, but I snagged it.

should probably have attached the error

 

[Andar]

should probably have attached the error

the elements screenshot of your first post is absolutely useless to us. we asked for the console output and the console output only (see which tabs are selected on the top of the screenshots)

fortunately your second screenshot at least contains the console as a second part after the useless elements parts.

And the error output says that the core engine cannot find an actor ID. There is no plugin mentioned at all in that trace, all files involved are core files of the engine.

Which also means that this error has nothing to do with the plugin provided above or anything else, it has something to do with your database being incomplete or wrongly referenced.
What exactly did you do/tried to do when you got that error?

Basically the moment I 'cancelled' out of the purchase of the first skill I quickly went over to the second skill and bought it which caused the error. Doing it fast enough causes the issue. Strange how speed is the answer. Only thing is besides that I don't want to be required to hit chancel once you buy the skill otherwise it locks up.

 

[ct_bolt]

Hmm... So no clue what the console log error you are showing has to do with my plugin
...However here ya go, I do have a fix for this...

Sorry it took so long for me to check further into this. Simple fix really.
Updated to v2.20 Re-Download and add the following script after your message/choice/etc. window is closed.

returnToProperWindow()

Spoiler

The problem was pretty simple... once the choice window is closed the game doesn't know to refresh and reactivate the skill window. So we have to tell it to. I may work an "auto-fix" into my menu-on-map system soon but for now just use that function to return and refresh the window after choice options, etc.

Seems to work nicely for me
