costum cursor for rmxp(rgss)

[Blizzy]

ok, here's a toturial i just wrote for costum cursors in rmxp(rgss)

# costum cursor, rgss (code + explanation)
# by Virtual
# movement:
# option 1, option 2
# option 3, option 4

class Scene_Cursor
  def main
    @cursor = Sprite.new #initialize the cursor.
    @cursor.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("cursor name") #picture of the cursor.
    @cursor.x = 0 #this is the x coordinate of the cursor.
    @cursor.y = 0 #this is the y coordinate of the cursor.
    @cursor.z = 999 #layer of the cursor, could be anything from 1 to 999
    
    Graphics.transition
    loop do
      Graphics.update
      Input.update
      update
      if $scene != self
        break
      end #if statement
    end #loop

    @cursor.dispose #erase the cursor if scene closes.
  end
  def update #update the scene
    @cursor.update #updates the cursor
    if Input.trigger?(Input::UP) #if keypress is up
      if @cursor.y == 0 
        @cursor.y -= 0 #if cursor.y = 0, it's won't go up
     else
        @cursor.y -= 32 #moves the cursor down
      end
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::RIGHT) #if keypress is right
      if @cursor.x == 64 
        @cursor.x += 0 #if cursor.x = 64, it's won't go right
      else
        @cursor.x += 64 #moves the cursor to the right
      end
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::LEFT) #if keypress is left
      if @cursor.x == 0
        @cursor.x -= 0 #if cursor.x = 0, it's won't go left
      else
        @cursor.x -= 64 #moves the cursor to the left
      end
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::DOWN) #if keypress is down
      if @cursor.y == 32 
        @cursor.y += 0 #if cursor.y = 32, it's won't go down
     else
        @cursor.y += 32 #moves the cursor down
      end
    end
    
    # for the next part, the hardest,
    # you can better look at the attachement
    # https://www.pokecommunity.com/attachments/17990&stc=1&thumb=1
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C) #if keypress is C (which is "accept")
      if @cursor.x == 0 and @cursor.y == 0 #option 1
        print "option 1"
      end
      if @cursor.x == 64 and @cursor.y == 0 #option 2
        print "option 2"
      end
      if @cursor.x == 0 and @cursor.y == 32 #option 3
        print "option 3"
      end
      if @cursor.x == 64 and @cursor.y == 32 #option 4
        print "option 4"
      end
    end #keypress
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B) #keypress is X (which is "close")
      $scene = Scene_Map.new #return to map
    end #keypress
  end #method
end #class

the best way to read this is to put it in rmxp's script editor
(so the comments are green, and easier to understand)

to call it, paste this in a call script:
$scene = Scene_Cursor.new

comments & questions are welcome
*tested & it works fine!

hope you guys like it!
;)

--Edit--
small bug found + fixed
return to map is now possible!

maybe the file in the attachement gives an idea what it is

Nice work there.. ( not that i?ve tested it, but i will!)
Cool idea.

thanks for the comments...
i really appriciate it ;)

this kind of "cursor moving" could be used in the battle.

comments & questions are welcome
suggestions too

i added a poll, to see if my toturial is really worth it
if it's good, i might make some more
