Hi, I was wodnering if its possible to edit a script so that it will only come into effect when a switch is on? I tried fiddling around but I don't really know what im doing :( Basically i'm trying to make it so when a switch is on the battle system will be the GTBS, and when it's off it will be the normal battle system (in this case minkoff's).
I'm guessing its probably not doable, but I'd thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance for any help
p.s like the new forums :)

It actually it, but it would require some nasty extra coding. Best would be if a scripter adds that to your game. Or an alternative would be that your rename one of the "scenes" into something else than Scene_Battle. Then you would simply call it instead of the real battle scene from the actual battle scene with this extra script:
In that case, if you turn on switch XXX, it will allow the original battle scene while when turned off it will call the renamed scene. That would be the quickest and easiest way that I know. The question is just if everything will work right. You can try it if you want. Put this script below ALL scripts and ABOVE Main.
class Scene_Battle
alias main_battler_override_later main
def main
if $game_switches[XXX]
main_battler_override_later
else
$scene = Scene_Battle2.new
end
end
endIn that case, if you turn on switch XXX, it will allow the original battle scene while when turned off it will call the renamed scene. That would be the quickest and easiest way that I know.

I'm guessing both of those systems are aliased, so you might also need to copy all the Scene_Battles and rename their classes.
