RGSS Scripts

RGSS, short Ruby Game Scripting System, is a set of commands written in an interpreted language to automate certain application tasks or a type of computer code than can be directly executed by a program that understands the language in which the script is written. Scripts do not need to be compiled to be executed.

First and foremost RGSS is not a programming langauge. Many are confused on what RGSS actually is. RGSS is a library written in C that extends the programming langauge Ruby, and RGSS is an acronym for Ruby Game Scripting System. It is used within RMXP and provides Graphics, Audio, and Input functions for Ruby.

What Categories are the RGSS Scripts organised into?

We have 6 Categories that we organize RGSS Scripts into:

• Custom Menu Scripts
  Any scripts that mess with the Menu System
• Custom Component Scripts
  Any scripts that add unique systems to the game
• Custom System Scripts
  Any scripts that change the core system of the game, like weather scripts
• Custom Battle Systems

• Actor Enhancement
  Anything that changes the actor growth and abilities
• Misc
  Any scripts that do not fall under the above categories

How do I use RGSS Scripts in my game?

You will find all the scripts of your game in the Script Editor. To insert a script, first of all open up the Script Editor. Unless stated otherwise, most scripts are inserted above the Main script, as shown in the screenshot below. If you are still having difficulty understanding how scripts are used in RPG Maker XP, you can watch the video tutorial.
