Duplicate Occurrences of a script?

[Laptopdancer]

Im using DiamondPlatinum3's script Common Event: Menu Option...

http://diamondandplatinum3.wordpress.com/rpg-maker-scripts/rgss3-vxa/menu-scripts/common-event-menu-option/

And it's great. I creates a main menu option that you can call a common event from by selecting it in the menu. Very flexible! So I want to use it multiple times in the main menu. Once to create a world map common event (Which I've already done)

And a second instance creating a  menu command to call another script: Xail System's Records script: 

http://www.ultimateam.pl/printview.php?t=10142&start=0&sid=2e0d30aa993f0219d311959320c47d25

I have tried it and it works perfectly. But I can't have both because i get the "stack level too deep" error of course due to the same script being used twice.

My question is this, Is there a way to change a script slightly, copy then paste it into the script editor a second time and not have them conflict?

I would suggest Noting out the code first that is conflicting

# use the pound/number sign to note stuff out# use the pound/number sign to note stuff out# use the pound/number sign to note stuff out# if that don't work it is a lot easier to fix# than removing a lot of code

I'm sorry, hahaha...   Did I portray myself as understanding coding at all? I barely get by. I've given the error. And The scenario. What i need is a modification not directions that don't make sense to me. My hope is to leave the current version of Common Event Menu Option as is, and receive a modified version that won't appear to the system as a duplicated script so I can plug what I want into it... And even better, a list of what lines were modified and a small description of why so that maybe I can use it a third time without anyone else's help...

One script, multiple menu options now. Should be straight forward I hope.

The paste is still there Shaz, don't know why you got that error :/

Awesome thanks DP3!! Can I ask you something? I've set up all the variables for the records. But things like gold etc I can't figure out how i make change globally. In a treasure chest i could change the variable manually but what about in level ups or battle victories. Help me out with a few of em?  BD

The link originally went to pastebin, and that's when it gave me the error. Now it's been changed to http://diamondandplatinum3.wordpress.com/rpg-maker-scripts/rgss3-vxa/menu-scripts/common-event-menu-option/ I can see it.

Re-opened at OP's request.

So I'm a little confused, you want 2 menu buttons, one going to a common event and one going to a script call. Why don't you just use the built in functionality of the script as it allows multiple menu buttons and add a script call on the common event for the second script... It would require little to no programming knowledge and wouldn't require you to attempt to duplicate the script at all.

Or have I misunderstood what you are saying?

 

[Laptopdancer]

The main issue ahs been addressed by the scripter. They modified the script so the editable region allows for multiple instances of the script in the menu. 

 

[Shaz]

So can this be closed again? You asked for it to be reopened, but you never came back and said what the issue was. IS there still and issue, or is it working now?

 

[Laptopdancer]

Well i asked a question that still isnt answered by DP3. After the topic was closed I Pm'd DP3 but got no response. So im not sure if it should be closed or not... It takes up the same amount of space on the server closed or opened yes?

 

[Shaz]

Well, you asked for the topic to be reopened, which means you needed to ask for more help. No point in reopening the topic if you're just going to PM someone for help.


The point of keeping it open or closing it has nothing to do with space on the server. It is to indicate to others that you do or do not need further assistance, as indicated by DarrellLeon's attempt to help. If you don't require more help, we'll lock it, so people don't spend their time reading through, researching, and offering solutions when you won't use them.


Do you need more help, or not?

I don't understand the question.
It also sounds like an eventing issue instead of a script issue.

 

[Laptopdancer]

Dp3 if i may speak with you through the PM i sent you this topic can be closed. Thanks Shaz.

 

[Shaz]

Okay, but please don't ask for it to be reopened again, unless you actually plan to ASK the question you need help with, so others can assist you as well.
