    For me, it was a pain having to save my game each time I had to shut the console down...

    So, I made this script:
    Code: 
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#==============================================================================#
#                                                                              #
#                                Autosave Script                               #
#                               By #Not Important                              #
#                                                                              #

#It is a very simple script, if the player moves, the game is saved            #
#                                                                              #

    Tell me if you have any errors!
     
    This also moves when you don't actually move (i.e. bump into a wall). That could be problematic if you spam the move left/right/up/down button next to an impassable tile since it'd be saving a lot.
     
    I'm not really going too much about how to optimize the functionality script, but I do have some pointers on the implementation. If you want to simply append or prepend just a couple of lines of code to a script, it would be best to alias the original function and reference the alias, instead of writing out the full function and adding your one liners. This would make the system more plug and play, and not interfere with the functionality should it be changed in the original script.
    Code: 
    # This is the target class, no need to re-inherit from parent
class Game_Player
  # alias and overwrite move DOWN
  alias move_down_autosave move_down unless self.method_defined?(:move_down_autosave)
  def move_down(*args)
    move_down_autosave(*args)
    pbSave
  end

  # alias and overwrite move LEFT
  alias move_left_autosave move_left unless self.method_defined?(:move_left_autosave)
  def move_left(*args)
    move_left_autosave(*args)
    pbSave
  end

  # alias and overwrite move RIGHT
  alias move_right_autosave move_right unless self.method_defined?(:move_right_autosave)
  def move_right(*args)
    move_right_autosave(*args)
    pbSave
  end

  # alias and overwrite move UP
  alias move_up_autosave move_up unless self.method_defined?(:move_up_autosave)
  def move_up(*args)
    move_up_autosave(*args)
    pbSave
  end
end

    So, I made this script:
    Spoiler:

    Click to expand...

    I want that the script should not run when the player is in Safari Zone Map or any other map where saving is prohibited. Because savig in a Safari Zone is a good way to save safari balls. LMAO
