is there any way to make a book item?

[itskadenhere]

first of all- this forum has been a ton of help, so thank you!
now to the question- is there any way to make a book item? i first thought of just putting a event in an item but then I realised that isn't possible. i don't know if there is a plugin or not, but is there any possible way to do that?
thank you for your help!

Not sure what you are looking for. Just name your item a book, but guessing you are looking for something else.

I'm assuming he wants it to be a book that can be read by the player when selected. As for putting an event in an item, this is possible through a common event, and will probably work for what you want done/
Here is a screenshot for easy learning lol.
Step 1: go to the item you want and add a new effect.
Step 2: select other in the effects tab
Step 3: Select a common event.
What is inside the common event is up to you, but once the item is selected it will close the menu and run the common event.

What do you want the book to do?
Do you want book like graphics with arrows to turn the page? Or something simpler?

That's something I'd like to use: a book that you can use from the Item Menu, and when used runs a common event where you can page through the pages.

Hard Mode: Have a Plug-in that does the pageing through mechanics, but loads a text file (with appropiate Text effects and graphics) based on a Plugin Command. (One of the reasons why I'm waiting for EST's Notebook script)

How would that look? Reading from text file is easy, presenting it on screen is the main question.

Agreed on that. The trick is to get it in a pageable format. I see it as something like this:



The page will be seen as well as an indication on how many pages are there. You can page with the direction keys, and close the book with the Cancel Key

I might use this as a basis behind my Cross Examination mechanic, because it'll work the same way, only with added options. (Press and Present)

What RTN said was exactly what I needed. Thanks for your help, though!
