Features - Custom mouse icons and text popups over events - Pathfinding for player AND events - Mouse control in menus and other windows - Easy configuration options Screenshots Mouse Icons and Event Descriptions: Spoiler Even though it would take fewer steps to approach the shopkeeper on the left from below, the -2 0 in the comment tells the pathfinding script to move the player to the tile on the other side of the counter. The shopkeeper on the right will be approached via the path that takes the fewest steps (from below) since there is no position override in the comment on that event. The event's description (shown as text beside the icon) can be as many words as you like. Pathfinding: Spoiler When you click on the top chest, the player will not open the chest while standing beside it, because of the cliff edge. HOWEVER, if you used the keyboard instead of the mouse, pathfinding is overridden, and you WOULD be able to open the chest while standing on the tile to the right. When you click on the Imp, the player will also walk up the steps to fight it. HOWEVER, if the imp were set to Approach Player and Event Touch, it WOULD attack the player if the imp is on the hill and the player is below the hill on an adjacent tile. Pathfinding and mouse processing do NOT override what the player can do via the keyboard, or what events are already programmed to do by the default scripts. How to Use The mouse system is a series of 8 scripts (kept separate for ease of maintenance). Open the .rar file below, open each .rb file in a plain text editor, and copy and paste the scripts each into new slots in Materials. Most of the methods are aliased, so this can go below other custom scripts. ALL scripts should be used together. Mouse Icons Add, change and remove icons through the ICON hash, just below the comments in the Mouse 1 - Sprite script. The hash key is the name (one word, alpha characters only, lower case), and the number value is the icon index in your System IconSet. DEFAULT_ICON must have the name of one of the keys in the hash. This is what your mouse cursor will look like when it's not over an event that sets a custom cursor. Code: ICON = {'arrow' => 386, 'talk' => 4, 'look' => 3, 'fight' => 116, 'touch' => 491, 'exit' => 121}DEFAULT_ICON = 'arrow' If you don't want a generic 'exit' icon, but you want individual 'up', 'down', 'left' and 'right' icons, simply remove the 'exit' key and value, and add new values for each specific direction, along with the appropriate icon indexes. Event Icons and Descriptions Add comments to your event pages in the following format to control mouse and pathfinding behaviour: Code: icon is the name of the icon to show when the mouse is moved over the event. This must exist in the ICON hash. x y is an optional addition, to force the pathfinding to move the player to an offset from the current event. name is an optional description that will be shown beside the mouse icon. It may be one or more words. Examples: will show the 'fight' icon when the mouse is over the event will show the 'look' icon…
