    I decided to make a thread for all those little neat things I discover tinkering with javascript. (that haven't been requested yet) These aren't really plugins, but rather scripts that do a thing like what the engine is supposed to do, but may not be well known.
    ___________________________________________________________

    My first thing, I just learned is that changes to game $gameSystem._windowTone happen instantly, so you can use it to make flashing windows. There may be a plugin that does this, but it can really be done with plain javascript.
    [​IMG]
    This can be acheived without plugin, via event script call...
    PHP:
    if(this.colorInterval === undefined){
        var     rand255 = function(){return Math.round(Math.random()*255)};
            this.reTone = $gameSystem._windowTone;
            this.colorInterval = setInterval(function(){
                $gameSystem._windowTone = [rand255(),rand255(),rand255()];
        },     100);
    }
    And to turn off... EDIT: Oops! forgot to add (this)... It was broken, but I fixed it. I should have tested first... another one of those IIFE event script gotchas, for me...
    PHP:
    clearInterval(this.colorInterval);
    delete this.colorInterval;
    $gameSystem._windowTone = this.reTone;
    ___________________________________________________________

    These neat little things never cease to amaze me. Post neat little things you've discovered/learned too.

    Slightly off topic, until someone makes a general javascript chat thread, but don't let me forget this Grep command for making hundreds of function aliases at once.
    Code:
    \n((([^\.\n]+)\.[^\s]+) = function\(\) \{)
    Code:
    \n\3.prototype.aliasInit4Name = \2;\n\1 \n\tthis.aliasInit4Name.apply(this, arguments);\n\tthis.domWindowName="\3";
    It took me a minute to cognite and type, so I'm posting it someplace for future reference. I'll lose it if I save it to a txt file.

    EDIT: Yowza! Crash!
    Don't worry about the stack size. I just now had to append iterated numbers to each alias also with Grep.

    The neat thing I discovered here is ES6 IdentifierReference;
    var foo = "bar"; {foo} === "foo";
    too bad MV does not have it

    Carry on...

    All the pro scripters keep a master list of all their stuff in a link or whatever.
    I've decided to compile a list of all the plugins and event scripts I've come up with on this forums (that I could find). I'm not starting a new thread because this forum already has a ton of my inactive threads. This is all stuff I've learned too, anyway.

    No particular order, just where I went and found them.

    Two different plugins to change a sprite's color.
