"disabling" Menu parts.[SOLVED]

[Skitzen 0]

Hey all, making a part in my game where the player can't access the save menu. (I have it done already) But I also want to disable them going into the "items" Menu until later on.

 

Any way of doing this without making previous save files not work?

 

Sorry guys solved this on my own! Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the late reply. This is actually really simple to do.

 

Go to Scene_Menu

 

Right under @command_window.index = @menu_index(line 27)

add this

 

    if $game_switches[1] == true
      @command_window.disable_item(0)
    end

 

and under the first when 0(line 127)

add this

 

        if $game_switches[1] == true
          $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
          return
        end

 

 

After your done it should look like this.

Part 1:

 

Part 2:

 

Both of the things you inserted have something that needs to be changed.

You will notice these 2 lines.

 

if $game_switches[1] == true

The 1 needs to be changed to whatever switch you want to use. Right now its set so if switch #1 is on it will disable Items.

Note: Turn off/on switch from event to toggle disabled item.

 

Full script if your feeling lazy.

Yeah, Thanks! I just figured this out a bit ago though :/ thanks for the help though.

if you use the "disable_item(x)', you don't need that second segment of code.  It automatically locks you out of the option.
