Can you develope or add on the same plugin an option for instant touch? It would be meant for phones, you can use Spacedesk for example to connect your smartphone to PC, so you don't need to deploy the game for the testing.

 

[ShadowDragon]

I dont get your question or what Spacedesk has to do with it.
I dont know that software or has any use for it.

instant touch is something I dont use, if you mean "auto click" when mouse
over the command?

which isn't really helpfull when using item to use instantly as well.

I need more info for what kind of use because digging into it, as I made
it very simple as it isn't MV default like MZ is.

if you want to use it in MZ, I cannot help you as I dont own MZ.

Basically what I'm requesting is to make that in mobile devices you don't need to "hover".

In mobile devices what you do is touch directly the screen, there's no mouse, so when you touch a command, you have to double-tap the command because the first tap hovers the command, and the second tap executes the command. So, to allow "instant-input", a script function must be done to disable the hover effect and allow instant execution of commands with a single tap, so in this way, the command is executed instantly either if you touch the screen by tapping the command, or with a single click of a mouse cursor.

Spacedesk is a program to share the screen of your computer to any device including mobile phones, is 100% free and is really helpful to test the game on smartphones without having to deploy it, because you control the computer from the mobile by touch input.

single click to open stuff, I dont know if there is anything on the web like that,
as it might be same behaviour like MZ that might have that touch input.

while there is no touchinput is added, I can look into it, as touchinput is default
on MV, it just need to trigger directly over the commands when clicking on it.

so I assume over the item as well for direct use?

I see what I can do about it.

@Rex Tenebris I cannot really check mobile devices though, but you can
test it out if you open the plugin and add a line there:

    Window_Selectable.prototype.MoveMouseCursor = function() {
        if (this.isOpenAndActive() && TouchInput.isMoved() && this.MouseInsideWindow()) {
            this.onTouch(false);
        }
        if (Utils.isMobileDevice()) this.onTouch(true); //<== add this line here
    };

I cannot tell if it will work or but when true on PC, it does activate directly,
so I hope this can solve your issue if you add that one.

otherwise I need to dig into it how they exactly move, or someone that has
experience using mobile devices, or able to test on them.

as it is a bit hard to target mobile devices when I cannot really test it there.
so I hope it does work for you, otherwise I cannot really help you further.

Thank you for the work

I tried using your plugin today but it crashes on startup with this error using MV:

I also tried putting at the top and bottom of the plugin list, but same result.

@raffle I cannot replicate the issue though, or why it throws that error.
as I need to change my plugin setup a tiny bit differently, it doesn't had
any parameters for now, and there might come 1 or 2 for it.

as it also have the mini code above for mobile part (what I cannot test),
you shouldn't have any issues, so I made some tiny adjustment to it,
so re-download it, and hopefully it works out, otherwise I need a bit more
info how it happen.

as it is an utility plugin, you can put it at the bottom (which I have in my test project),
and it works, if the issue persist, what version of MV do you use? maybe NW.JS version?

 

[raffle]

@ShadowDragon That seems to have fixed the issue, no longer have any crashes and it works perfectly Thank you so much!! This plugin makes navigation feel much smoother
