[Essentials Tutorial] Quicksave Script

[Marin]

Saving in Pok?mon Essentials itself is almost instant, but the text that precedes it and that what comes after it is what makes saving take longer.

This script will automatically save the game if you hit a specific button, F8 by default.

Inside the script section "Scene_Map", find "def update" by doing Ctrl + F.
Then, inside that "def update", look for "updateSpritesets". Right underneath, paste this.

    if Input.trigger?(Input::F8) && !$game_player.moving? && @mode.nil?
      pbSave
      @mode = 0
      @vp = Viewport.new(0,0,Graphics.width,Graphics.height)
      @vp.z = 100000
      @disk = Sprite.new(@vp)
      @disk.bitmap = BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/saveDisk")
      @disk.x, @disk.y = 8, 8
      @disk.opacity = 0
      @arrow = Sprite.new(@vp)
      @arrow.bitmap = BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/saveArrow")
      @arrow.x, @arrow.y = 8, -4
      @arrow.opacity = 0
    end
    if @mode == 0
      @disk.opacity += 16
      @mode = 1 if @disk.opacity >= 255
    end
    if @mode == 1
      @arrow.opacity += 16
      @mode = 2 if @arrow.opacity >= 255
    end
    if @mode == 2
      @arrow.y += 1
      @mode = 3 if @arrow.y >= 22
    end
    if @mode == 3
      @arrow.opacity -= 16
      @disk.opacity -= 16
      if @disk.opacity <= 0
        @arrow.dispose
        @disk.dispose
        @vp.dispose
        @mode = nil
      end
    end

You'll also need to put these two graphics in your "Graphics/Pictures" folder.

Hi, how should I change quick save button like From F8 to Q if you know please tell me

 

[Marin]

Change Input.trigger?(Input::F8) to Input.triggerex?(0x51).

When I press the quicksave button and enter a battle right afterwards (I assume this can also be triggered through other means), the quicksave icon stays on the screen and stays faded away as much as it got to before the battle starts (so it doesn't disappear in this situation). Do you know of a way to either have the animation finish executing in these situations, have the icon disappear, or even prevent the player from moving when the icon is on the screen (though I guess this would still allow the problem to happen when approached by a trainer)?
