Did you ever want to change your command window's currently selected command a little bit? Thinking

Maintenance Service for VX ACE

A couple of days ago, I had found a strange Bug bug in the VX ACE port that prevented the script from displaying any window on the map. This caused the game to crash.

It took me a while to figure out the best and simplest way to deal with this issue. Once I learned that the default Window_Command script updates the index even before the window has been assigned any commands, I decided to block my script's feature from running if that command list were empty.

Now the script version 0.5.1 runs smoothly! Grinning
