Item useable both in menu and battle, but common event runs only in menu.

[AkisaNemo]

I added a consumable item that can be used in both menu and battle. I made a common event that would run if the player uses it in the menu, but the common event also run during a battle.




I only want the common event to run in the menu and not during battle. Is there anyway I can do this? If a variable is needed to do this, I would like an explanation of it. (I'm not good with variables)

In your common event, put a conditional branch, set it to script, and write either

!$game_party.in_battle

or

!SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Battle)

Put all the events you want to run outside the battle inside the conditional branch.
