Oh no, that's not a problem with the manual, that's Windows security settings.  Try the solutions at this link.

If you have problems opening the .chm manual file, please read this article: http://blogs.technet.com/seanearp/archive/2007/05/28/can-t-read-chm-compiled-help-on-vista-xp-2003.aspx
The solution is at the bottom, you don't need to read the whole article.

If it still doesn't work, let us know.

Lol, I can't believe it was so simple a reason  , I feel like a fool 
Anyway, it's working now, thank you once again for your help 

if you've got the default rmxp controls option to true, that could be the problem,

i hardly use the script part of the condition branch, what i do is create a function in the script editor and create an if statement with the condition i want, if it's true and i change $game_switches[ID] to true, then i create a condition branch which checks if switch ID is true and then run my code

example

class MyClass

  function testZ()
  
    if Input.trigger?('Z') == true
      $game_switches[1] = true
    end

  end

end

then all you need to do is use the call script command to call MyClass.testZ() and then create a condition branch that tests for Switch 1 being on

otherwise, could you post up the line of code your using in the condition branch or a picture of how the event is set up, might be the event causing problems

The problem's already solved, but thank you for showing me a different way of doing it  . Who knows, I might need/want to use something like that later on, so thanks again 


On another note; I've been reading through some pages of this thread and I've seen people talking about some nice features of the abs, but I can't access them because my manual doesn't work, when I open it, it says the "Navigation to the webpage was canceled", although there are no problems with my net connection or anything else that could be causing this 

So, I assume it's the manual's webpage that is down; is there a way for me to get a working manual? I'm sure I'm missing out many amazing features of Blizz abs without the manual.
Thanks in advance.

hm, you are right.  You can't use the built in button press options, you have to use a script call through the Blizz-ABS input module:

Input.press?(Input::Key['G'])

where G is the key on the keyboard.  Just put that in the script option of a conditional and it should work.

Works perfectly 

Thank you so very much, I'll make sure to give you special thanks in my game kind sir 

You do know that the 'Z' key on the RMXP gamepad is the 'D' key on your keyboard, right?  I'm guessing you just need to look up which key you actually want, because nobody else has reported this problem.

Yes I know that, I've tried it just now to make sure, but it still doesn't work, and I've also removed all other non-default scripts in case they were interfering, still doesn't work 

Hello, I was messing around with the scripts and making my game and I came across something weird...

You know the Conditional Branches? Well, I was making one with the condition of a certain key being pressed (it was the Z key)
and it doesn't work 

I changed the controls on the script so no action was set to the Z key but it still doesn't work; the script makes the conditional branches of an event, *not*  recognize key input, which I needed to access my "evented" menu and some puzzles, is there anyway around this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help you might give 

something like this?

$game_player.battler.skill = 1
$game_player.battler.item = 1

Exactly like this 
I can't thank you enough for your help, LiTTleDRAgo-san *bows down to you* 

I can start on making the actual game now, thanks and sorry for the time I made you waste 

Z Hud for Blizz ABS

I've tried this, it's awesome  thank you very much 

Sadly, I've come across a small (I hope) problem 

You see, as I said before, I'm making a zelda-like game, as such, the game menus will consist of pictures I made, and events representing the items, weapons, etc.; here's an example:   

Spoiler: ShowHide

You can't see the items because I haven't done them yet, however in each of those squares in the picture there will be an event representing a specific item, when the player presses the select key on the keyboard I'd like it to automatically equip that item; my question is, is there any way, via call script or something to automatically equip an item or skill to the use buttons, instead of using the hotkeys?

I'd really appreciate any help on this matter and I hope I'm not being a bother to anyone

Hello 

I just downloaded this abs and I'm still in the process of discovering it's many features; and although this question may sound a little noobish I'd still like to know if it's possible to change the hud, (you know like, making my own health bar and so on) and how can I disable the damage over the character and enemies. (See, I'm starting to make a zelda-like game, and the hud doesn't fit the style I have in mind, and numbers showing damage look wierd on a game where you won't have str or dex etc.) If these two things can be done, I'd very much appreciate if you could tell me how 

And just so you know, I'm loving this abs until now, it's really amazing
