Introduction

The Common Event Menu allows you to create your own custom menu setups. When
using it, you can list whatever common events you so wish and generate a
menu that when selecting the menu command, it will run the common event.
This common event menu setup allows you to utilize a help window, a picture
window, and a subtext window to allow for your own personal touch when using
the common event window.

Instructions

The common event menu is constructed purely by plugin commands. You'll have
to carefully construct each plugin command to make the common event list
appear the way you want. The following is an example of how to set up a
common event menu with the default window layout:

   SetCommonEventMenuSettings Default Setup
   ClearCommonEventMenu
   AddCommonEventMenu 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
   SetCommonEventMenuCancel 0
   OpenCommonEventMenu

To find out more details about how to set up the common event menus, be sure
to read through the help file carefully!

Comment Tags

Common Events in RPG Maker MV do not have their own notetags. So to make up
for that, we'll be using comments instead. Simply create a comment event
within the common event that will be used inside of the menu and use any of
these comment tags:

Common Event Comment Tags:

  <Menu Name: x>
  - This changes the appearance of the common event's text when displayed in
  the common event menu list. If this tag isn't used, the text displayed
  will be the common event's name. You can use text codes.

  <Icon: x>
  - This changes the icon of the common event to x. If this tag isn't used,
  the icon used will be the one set in the plugin's parameters.

  <Picture: x>
  - This sets a picture to be associated with this common event when it is
  highlighted. If this isn't used, no picture will be displayed and it will
  be left empty.

  <Help Description>
   text
   text
  </Help Description>
  - This sets the help description used for the common event when it is
  selected in the common even menu list. If this tag isn't used, the text
  displayed will be the default text from the plugin's parameters.

  <Subtext>
   text
   text
  </Subtext>
  - This sets the subtext used for the common event menu's subtext window
  while this common event is selected in the common event menu list. If this
  text isn't used, the text displayed will be the default text from the
  plugin's parameters.

Lunatic Mode - Enabling/Disabling Common Events

For those with JavaScript experience, you can use the following comment tags
for your common events to be enabled or disabled:

Common Event Comment Tags:

  <Menu Enable Eval>
   if ($gameSwitches.value(10)) {
     enabled = true;
   } else {
     enabled = false;
   }
  </Menu Enable Eval>
  - The 'enabled' variable determines if the common event can be selected or
  not. In the example above, Switch 10 needs to be ON in order for this
  common event to be selected.

Lunatic Mode - Showing/Hiding Common Events

For those with JavaScript experience, you can use the following comment tags
for your common events to be shown or hidden:

Common Event Comment Tags:

  <Menu Visible Eval>
   if ($gameSwitches.value(20)) {
     visible = true;
   } else {
     visible = false;
   }
  </Menu Visible Eval>
  - The 'visible' variable determines if the common event is shown or hidden
  in the common event menu list. In the example above, Switch 20 needs to be
  ON in order for this common event to be visible and shown.

Plugin Commands

The following plugin commands are used to work the Common Event Menu. Look
over each of the settings carefully:

Plugin Command:

  ---

  ClearCommonEventMenu
  - This clears all the listed common events from the Common Event Menu Data
  pool meaning it has to be filled again. You can do so with the next plugin
  command:

  ---

  AddCommonEventMenu 1
     - or -
  AddCommonEventMenu 2, 3, 4, 5
     - or -
  AddCommonEventMenu 6 through 10
  - This will add the listed common event numbers into the common event list
  that will be shown in the common event menu.

  ---

  SetCommonEventMenuCancel 20
  - This will set the cancel button for the common event menu to run common
  event 20 when canceled. If it is left at 0, no event will run, but the
  menu can allow the cancel button to be pressed (and prematurely end it).

  ---

  DisableCommonEventMenuCancel
  EnableCommonEventMenuCancel
  - This will disable the cancel button for the common event menu from being
  pressed. Pressing cancel while the common event menu is active will do
  nothing. Use 'SetCommonEventMenuCancel x' to re-enable the cancel button.
  The Enable version will reenable the cancel function as 0.

  DisableCommonEventMenuConfirm
  EnableCommonEventMenuConfirm
  - This will disable the confirm button for the common event menu from
  being pressed. This is made for those who wish to use the menu only as a
  list and not a selectable menu. The Enable version will reenable the
  confirm function.

  ---

  OpenCommonEventMenu
  - After you've set everything up, this command will be used to open up the
  common event menu. This can be used on the map. If you are using the
  Battle Engine Core, this menu can be opened in battle as well. All of the
  common events listed by the 'AddCommonEventMenu' plugin command will
  appear in this list.

  ---

  CommonEventMenuX 0
  CommonEventMenuY this.fittingHeight(2)
  CommonEventMenuWidth Graphics.boxWidth / 2
  CommonEventMenuHeight Graphics.boxHeight - this.fittingHeight(2)
  CommonEventMenuOpacity 255
  CommonEventMenuColumns 1
  - These plugin commands allow you to adjust the x, y, width, height,
  opacity, and the number of columns used for the main common event menu
  list. Make sure all of these settings are done BEFORE the common event
  menu is opened with the 'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command.

  ---

  ShowCommonEventMenuHelp
  HideCommonEventMenuHelp
  - This will allow you to decide if the help window will be shown or hidden
  for the next 'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command usage.

  ---

  CommonEventMenuHelpX 0
  CommonEventMenuHelpY 0
  CommonEventMenuHelpWidth Graphics.boxWidth
  CommonEventMenuHelpHeight this.fittingHeight(2)
  CommonEventMenuHelpOpacity 255
  - These plugin commands allow you to adjust the x, y, width, height, and
  opacity of the help window for the common event menu list. Make sure all
  of these settings are done BEFORE the common event menu is opened with the
  'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command.

  ---

  ShowCommonEventMenuPicture
  HideCommonEventMenuPicture
  - This will allow you to decide if the help window will be shown or hidden
  for the next 'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command usage.

  CommonEventMenuPictureY this.fittingHeight(2)
  CommonEventMenuPictureWidth Graphics.boxWidth / 2
  CommonEventMenuPictureHeight this.fittingHeight(10)
  CommonEventMenuPictureOpacity 255
  - These plugin commands allow you to adjust the x, y, width, height, and
  opacity of the picture window for the common event menu list. Make sure
  all of these settings are done BEFORE the common event menu is opened with
  the 'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command.

  ---

  ShowCommonEventMenuSubtext
  HideCommonEventMenuSubtext
  - This will allow you to decide if the help window will be shown or hidden
  for the next 'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command usage.

  ---

  CommonEventMenuSubtextX Graphics.boxWidth / 2
  CommonEventMenuSubtextY Graphics.boxHeight - height
  CommonEventMenuSubtextWidth Graphics.boxWidth / 2
  CommonEventMenuSubtextHeight Graphics.boxHeight - this.fittingHeight(2) -
    this.fittingHeight(10)
  CommonEventMenuSubtextOpacity 255
  - These plugin commands allow you to adjust the x, y, width, height, and
  opacity of the subtext window for the common event menu list. Make sure
  all of these settings are done BEFORE the common event menu is opened with
  the 'OpenCommonEventMenu' plugin command.

  ---

  SetCommonEventMenuSettings Default Setup
  SetCommonEventMenuSettings Basic Setup
  - This allows you to set the common event windows to position themselves
  to the default setup provided by the plugin parameters or a basic setup
  made of just the main list and a help window.
