[VX ACE/RGSS3] - Item/Custom Scene - Bypass "Category" selection

[ZirconStorms]

Script will be attached below. The original script (author: soulpour777):
http://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/31412-a-seperate-item-menu-for-a-custom-item-type/

Note that this scene is seperate from the default item menu. I wish to bypass the player selecting the item type through the category window, letting them select from the items available immediately. I've already assigned the return_scene method whenever the player cancels item selection (which would, ideally, be the player cancelling out of the menu entirely).
Just need some idea on where to start in order to attempt this modification, if it's even possible.

What you are requesting sounds similar to other posts before you.

How many actors are in your game? https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...tem-automatically-force-it-to-player-1.75598/

I do not know if this removes all category windows. https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...nk-storage-edit-remove-category-window.73086/

If what you need is different from these posts, then please describe more and maybe @vFoggy can help.

Thanks for the reply-

I do not need to bypass/remove actor selection when using an item, as I set all items to scope: none. The second link isn't applicable, as I'm not using Galv's script nor am I intending on using the "bank/item storage" script.

When opening this scene, there is a category display, in this case, called "Extra_Item". Pressing that "extra_item" command will allow the activation of the item scene (containing all items marked as part of the "Extra_Item" category).

I've attempted to incorporate some code by Sixth in this script, which is meant to remove category windows. Doing so has removed the category window, but no items marked as "Extra_Items" are displayed. You can still freely exit and enter this scene with this modification, however.

If you wish to attempt using this script and opening the scene for yourself, use "SceneManager.call(Scene_BattleItems)" in a script call, tag items with <battle_item> inside the item's note box (database > bottom right corner of an item page), and add those items before using the script call.

The edit I wrote for Galv's script could give you an idea on how to edit the Customer Item script to skip the category selection (ignoring the class Window_BankGive < Window_ItemList).
You will need to add some extra methods to class Scene_BattleItems < Scene_ItemBase from Scene_ItemBase that soulpour777 hasn't.
Basically what you need to do is:

1. Make the category window not visible
2. Skip the category selection by activating the items window instead of the category after initializing the window
3. When leaving the window skip the activation of category window

I can't check the modified code because the colons and parentheses are converted to smilies.
