[DangDut]

Hi,
 
How to run plugin command within a javascripts?
 
Sample:
Plugin command from YEP_ExternalLinks.js

OpenNewWindow http://www.google.com/Javascripts

? 
Thanks.

You need to alias the Game_Interpreter's pluginCommand function. It takes two arguments, command and args. Plugin commands are split into a list of words by spaces, so the 'command' argument is the first 'word' that was entered. In the case of what you're looking for, OpenNewWindow. args is an array of the rest of the 'words'. You'll have to check and/or combine them yourself. If you need to combine them, feel free to use args.join(" ") to put them back as a string, separated by spaces.

If you need more examples, take a text editor (please, don't use notepad) and open up any plugin that adds a plugin command. You'll be able to see how it's done from those.

I think

Game_Interpreter.prototype.pluginCommand('OpenNewWindow', ['http://www.google.com'])should work

EDIT:

for full compatibility with other scripts I suggest though to use something like this:

var myInterpreter = new Game_Interpreter()
myInterpreter.pluginCommand('OpenNewWindow', ['http://www.google.com'])

I could be misinterpretting the question, but I believe they want to know how to replicate making a plugin command.

Anyway, this would not work. You can't call functions with 'prototype' in them without an object of that class. You could run it fine from a script command as this.pluginCommand('OpenNewWindow', ['http://www.google.com/]), however I don't think that's what the OP is asking for. I could, however, be wrong. It's happened before.

I think he asked how to run a plugin command from JavaScript.

Well, I tried and it worked.

If the function doesn't use this inside you can safely call it, in this particular case the original pluginCommand is just an empty function that does nothing, but of course, if any plugin that patch it uses `this` inside to call any Game_Interpreter methods it will not work. 

There are 4 instance of Game_Interpreter in the code of which are 2 always available in $gameTroop or $gameMap, but for the same reason as above, if anyone patches those you cannot rely on it, also those variables are not available before DataManager.createGameObjects, so the best way is, how you suggest, to create your own Game_Interpreter instance and call the method from there.

var myInterpreter = new Game_Interpreter()myInterpreter.pluginCommand('OpenNewWindow', ['http://www.google.com'])

You could run it fine from a script command as this.pluginCommand('OpenNewWindow', ['http://www.google.com/])

Not sure what you mean by script command, are you talking about the one in the event page?

EDIT:

Just checked and that's what you mean
