How do I create a new menu page?

[Canaanchaos 0]

Okay. So I've seen from a thousand different sites how to make more buttons (like status, item, etc.)in the main menu in-game. And they all appear. But nowhere on the vast confines of the internet did I see how to make those buttons do anything. How can I make a new page to direct the player to when the button is pressed?

Well, it's kinda hard to make a tutorial for a new menu page, as it would have to be very specific depending on what the page is supposed to do. If you want to learn how to add a entire new page, you would have to learn how to script for RPG Maker first. What exactly are you trying to do?

Thanks for responding. Originally, I had wanted to add a few stats to my game. Nothing that affects battle, but rather like the Courage, Charm, Intellect system in Persona 3. I just need to make a page that will let me document each character's growth in each category.

Although if anyone knows how to add such stats in the status screen, like a constant, but then have some way to influence them in-game, that'd be a good alternative.

I think the best way, for a non-scripter, would be to store those values in variables of some sort, for example; for each actor have a set of variables for that actors Courage, Charm, Intellect, etc. and then they could be read from and added to the status menu. If they are stored in the in-game variables, it would be easier for you to use them in your game.

 

I think your best bet, would be to gather all the specific details of what you want EXACTLY, and post a request in the script request forums: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/forum/15-scripts-request/

 

It is a simple request (meaning it shouldn't take long to receive), especially if it is JUST a status screen edit you require.

Thanks. I'll do that then.
