Alternate setting up method for disable-able scripts

じ☆ve冰风

Foreword

  This is more of for static set-ups (cannot be changed in-game), and also more of just an optimization (I think) from the normal way we set-up scripts in a way that would allow the user to disable it via a setting on the script itself.

Normal Way

Normally, you would do something like this

module SET  USE=trueendclass Game_Battler  alias initialize_sample initialize  def initialize    initialize_sample    if SET::USE      #do other things    end  endendPROS: If you swap the module's constant with a game variable/switch for example, then you could dynamically enable/disable the script's works. Again, that is not the purpose of this.Alternate way

Given that the constant could never be changed in-game, it seems a waste to actually do that check everytime, isn't it?

So, take a look at this

module SET  USE=trueendif SET::USE  class Game_Battler    alias initialize_sample initialize    def initialize      initialize_sample      #do other things    end  endendHere, we enclosed the whole class itself within an if. This way, the class itself will only exist if the constant was true (AFAIK, based on minor tests and my limited knowledge). AFAIK, it will only be evaluated once per session, when the scripts are initialized by the engine.Q: Why not just delete the whole script?

A: What if you're just testing yet, and might need to put it back later? This will make that easier to achieve

Q: There's select all then comment out method

A: The examples uses only 1 class, and in that case, yes, the method would suffice. But imagine if you have a script like

module SET  USE_1 = true  USE_2 = true  #and so onendif SET::USE_1  class one  endendif SET::USE_2  class two  endendthen your user would need to go inside the script and find the specific parts to comment out, you would want to avoid that.Closing

I know this might not really be useful, but I figured I'd present it anyway for the benefit of knowledge. If somebody has a more in-depth tests about this matter, feel free to comment.
