View picture in inventory?

[NickyNick]

I want my player to obtain an item which is a picture and make it able to view in the inventory screen, I'm not sure how to be able to this though? Can anyone help?

Your item needs to call a Common Event in order for this to work, also make sure that "Consumable" is set to "No" so you don't lose the item after using it.

Like so:

Inside your Common Event, you first need to display the picture, as well as an invisible text window so you can close it on your next button press. Unfortunately, displaying a picture or text in RMMV closes the Menu. You can kinda get around this by calling a short script containing SceneManager.push(Scene_Item). It sadly isn't perfect, because the Item Menu called using that script doesn't go back to the main menu after leaving the item menu. This wasn't a problem in VX Ace, apparently, I wonder why it's different now...

Anyway:

Common Events require you to select a Switch, but it seems you can pick any that you're not using.

It's not perfect, but I hope this brings you closer to what you are searching for!

Thank you! But I have a problem, the picture appears too big on the screen, how do I fix it?

Edit: I've figured it out, Thank you!
