Eli Choice Manager - Attach pictures, common events, switches, and change several choice settings!

One last thing. You have 30 balloons to select from, and initially, I wanted to have the selection be horizontal (side by side). Putting initial.cos = 30 does the trick for this. However, I realized that I would like the option to move around choices vertically and horizontally, as it is easier to get around the balloons. My issue is that each row has a different amount from the four rows of balloons that I have. Therefore, putting initial.cos = 8 or 7 does not work. Is there any way to set a number of columns for each choice command?

Hi

The thing is, to make a choice that has more than 6 commands, we need to merge the choice commands.
This lets you have a single choice window with more than the default 6 choices.

The column property is applied to the choice window. Meaning that although you have a lot of choice event commands, the choice window is still only one choice window.

So you can't put a different number of columns for each choice command.
If you have 30 choices, you can set the column = 5. This will let you with 6 choices per row.
6*5 = 30.

So, you said that each row has a different number of balloons. In this case, it will not work for you.
The suggestion is for you to either set the balloon positions in a way that fits 6*5.
They did not need to be exactly sided by side, but at least in a logical position that let the player understand that he can press left/right/up/down and select the proper balloon.

So, unfortunately, currently, you are not able to do as you want. But maybe you can still find a number of columns that at least are close enough to match the number of rows. Or change the balloon positions to fit the logic of 6*5.

Okay, thanks!

That's all for now. Great plugin, btw.

@cokes1999 Fixed the compatibility issue with the VE Arrow Cursor.
Just make sure that my plugin is below the Ve Arrow Cursor.

Hey! Thanks for fixing the issue with the cursor that I outlined earlier. However, I found another issue that occurs when VE_ArrowCursor is on. I checked, and it also occurs on 5.1.1, so not a new issue.

Earlier on, when I was making my balloon mini-game, I did 30 ChoicePic plugin commands, as well as stacking the choice commands. The only issue was that every time I selected a balloon, instead of showing the picture choices as it did earlier, it showed this:


If I scrolled for a little longer, the game would crash.

What fixed this for me was putting a show text command after you choose each balloon (I just had the worker say "Nope"). After doing this, it worked perfectly, and this didn't pop up anymore. After each balloon, I liked having the show text command, so I didn't think twice about the problem. Either way, I'm unsure if this is a plugin issue or something I did with the event.

Nonetheless, when having VE_Arrow Cursor, it's almost like it tries to show this choice box above but closes immediately after I pick a balloon. The result is a big black line flashing in the middle of the screen for a second after each balloon pick. Here is a video of that.

Hi there!

I did try to reproduce it here with a stacking choice command, but not with 30. With 12 only.
And I can't manage to reproduce the problem. So I will ask you to make a sample project reproducing the error and upload it to me somewhere and send the link so I can take a look at it.

Is there any way I can email it to you? It's not letting me attach the file here.

You cannot just send the link?
You are trying to send the file directly through here?
Or did you upload it somewhere? Google Drive, Dropbox, one drive, etc...?

 

[EndlessGame]

I tried attaching the file directly through here, but it says, "the uploaded file is too large for the server to process."

Let me know if this Google Drive link works.
Some things to note before you check the issue.

1. Oddly enough, when the trigger is an action button rather than autorun, the black line issue doesn't occur.

2. To play the game, talk to the guy, answer Yes, and pick up a dart.


3. There is another issue I'd like you to look at if you could. Earlier, you gave me this:

const index = $gameVariables.value(ID)
setTimeout(() => {
if(index > -1){
Eli.ChoiceManager.getChoiceWindow().select(index)
}
}, 100)

I initially thought it worked fine, but I've noticed that it doesn't always go back to the balloon you picked. I've tested it a few times, and it doesn't seem to be any specific balloons, but it happens at random. Sometimes it will go back to the same balloon; sometimes, it will go back to the first one.

Ok, friend!
Will take a look and let you know as soon as possible
