script call for button input?

[diagostimo]

hey guys, i was wondering if there is a script call that checks if any input button is pressed? mainly for use in a conditional branch so if the player moves or anything then the condition can run.

Input.press?
Input.trigger?

mainly for use in a conditional branch so if the player moves or anything then the condition can run.

Conditional Branch : $game_player.moving?
@>
@>
End

or

Conditional Branch : Input.dir8 != 0
@>
@>
End

cool thanks guys, also off topic but im trying to change my actors graphic via script  and it will change when a switch is activated, heres what i have at the moment:

class Game_Map
  if $game_switches == (0 == true)
    actor = $game_actors[0]
    actor.set_graphic("aluxeswc.png", 255)
    $game_player.refresh
  end
end

i got my code from reading the interpreters and seeing how the events did it but i havnt had any look so far

Not sure what "game_switches = (0 == true)" is supposed to do, you didn't find that in the Interpreter.
0 will never equal true, and $game_switches will never equal false. Game_Switches is a wrapper for an array that simply holds a bunch of true/false values.

This is probably something like what you want to do:

class Interpreter
  
  def my_call
    if $game_switches[ID_OF_SWITCH]
      a = $game_actors[ID_OF_ACTOR]
      a.set_graphic('aluxeswc', a.character_hue, a.battler_name, a.battler_hue)
    end
  end
end

You simply replace the values in all caps with what you want, and call "my_call" in a script call.

EDIT:
On another note, a value of 0 for index of $game_actor will throw an error. In pretty much all the data classes, the first element is always nil.

hm i tried messing with that example but no luck, im calling the it with this script call: $my_call

also do i need the $game_player.refresh? im not getting any errors its just not doing anything :/

class Newclass
  
  def my_call
    if $game_switches[0]
      a = $game_actors[nil]
      a.set_graphic('aluxeswc.png', 0, nil, 0)
      $game_player.refresh
    end
  end
end

You just modified every bit of code I posted as an example to something totally different, the majority of which will cause errors, and somehow expect it to work?

• I used "Interpreter" so that you could use it as a script call without creating a new class.


• You can't use "nil" as an indexer for an array.


• You changed "set_graphic" to use "nil" as a battler name. This will cause an error.


• I don't know why you insist on $game_player.refresh. It does nothing in this situation.

Paste the script I posted in a new slot. Change the actor id to 1, change the switch id to 1. Make a script call with the event command that simply reads "my_call". Nothing else. No $ symbols. No @ symbols. Just that.

cool i got it to work, im still getting used to how all the functions work but im slowly getting there, iv also been trying to change the actors step_anime to true, what im trying to build here is a script that changes the graphic, sets it so the character is animated then switches back, heres what i came up with to turn step_anime on:

class Game_Character
  alias new_update update
  def update
    new_update
    if game_switches[1]
      @actor_step_anime = true
    end
  end
end

the problem here is every event is set to this also
