Large Choices

Tsukihime · 2015-10-24T09:24:11+0900

The Show Choice event command allows you to present players with a set of options that they can choose from. Depending on their selection, your event would respond according to their choice. By default, RPG Maker provides you with a maximum of 6 choices when you create Show Choice commands. This means that, at anytime, you may present up to 6 choices. However. what happens if you would like to display 7 choices? Or 8? Maybe more? You would need to come up with a method that will allow players to view all selections, but at the same time work around the 6-choice limitation. Rather than having to figure out how to do that, this plugin makes your job easier by directly allowing you to create choice selections with more than 6 options: Need more than 6 choices? Download the plugin and try it out! For more information and downloads, go to HimeWorks You may also be interested in the following plugins: Disabled Choice Conditions - disable individual choices with your own custom conditions! Hidden Choice Conditions - provides a command to hide choices Conditional Choice Text - allows you to change text during the event This is my first javascript plugin so I will need to look at how to clean it up a bit. Hopefully it works on all platforms.

When you say the listing of only 8 is "hardcoded", Does that mean it can't be altered, not even with plugins? Or are you just saying that is the default, and you can change it with plugins?

Yes, default is 8, can be overwritten as needed.

There was a bug where the "default choice #1" wasn't working for any of the the extended choices.

It worked for the first one, but if you wanted your default choice to be the first option in one of the other sets, it wasn't working.

Plugin has been updated to address the issue.

Is it possible to add an icon for each choice item?

Yes, if you have a message plugin that let's your draw icons using message codes, you can write it in the choice text.

This allows you to control where the icon is displayed as well.

I'm sorry, what ?
I merge the choice windows all fine, they show more than 8 all is working,
but,
i have to scroll down for the rest of choices to appear, i want to show more than 8 without having to scroll down and i have plenty of space on screen for them to appear.

Hi Hime, there's a very interesting, repeatable bug that breaks this wonderful plugin.

If an event has a large choice, the most recent show_text the player has seen can not be in the "middle" position of the screen. If it is, when the large choices are shown, only the top group of choices will show, as though the plugin were not present.

I've been testing this for a couple hours trying to narrow it down! I have a choice that has a middle-position text as the last text shown. If I repeat the choices immediately, only the top group appears. But if I go to another event that has a bottom-position show_text, then go back to the large choices, they work fine.

Obviously this isn't a horribly serious bug, but it's definitely limiting, and I wonder if there might be a simple fix for it? I'm using v1.2, which I believe is the last version.

At the very least, if anyone else likes using middle-position text and Hime's Large Choices, hopefully this will provide an explanation for the odd behavior :LZSgrin::LZSgrin:

EDIT: Scratch this, it turns out this is either an issue with RPGMV or with the Hime Hide Choices plugin ... it's actually only showing the first 4 choices after a middle-position text, even if it's just a regular MV 6-choice list. I'll drill down and post to the appropriate forum!!

Hello! I had the same problem as Cuby! After an intermediate "Show Message", Large Choice stopped showing all the Choices at once, uniting the choices in two windows. To solve this, after many tests, I post a message without anything written with the following character: "\^" and with the Window Position option as Top or Bottom and this ends up, in a way, reactivating the Himeworks Plugin
