- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v18.1 ➖
This is the first time I ever create a script so I´m very excited.
This script allows the player to choose a starting map for his/her journey, I think it´s a good idea to add it in an open world game.
To use the script its simple, just paste the script in and call pbMapSelector to start it.
The script it highly modifiable, you can use how many maps you would like.
I don´t know if it works with v19, cause it doesn´t run in my computer so I couldn´t test it (If you ever test it please tell me)
Also, I tried to add some animation to the arrows when a button is not pressed but I don´t know how to do it, without making the whole scene wait forever until the player can choose which map he/she wants to play.
