For the past couple of months I've been learning RGSS and I've got the basic stuff down such windows, variables, conditional statements, ect. But, I can't see myself making big scripts such as a jumping system or a side view battle system. I was wondering how you learned to script because I really want to know how to script really well.
Thanks in advance.
Hey there,
Well I don't make battle neither though I can still teach you some things :)... The way I've learned to script is by reading other scripts for the most part. I've allways been interested in other peoples work but this time I though I had to try to make something myself...and it worked!! The most importand thing when you go scripting is (at least in my case) that you want to make something to help an other wich can't script. You also need to feel the competition that's around in the scripting-community. Cause, I have to say, if you get pushed to get a sertain request done before an other scripter does, you feel POWERFULL!! :P So that's an other thing... You also don't need to be afraid to learn from others or helpfiles. When I write my scripts, I actualy always have the helpfiles open to look things up I don't know or remember. Then, you must be calm, cause you need to try the script a lot of times. When I write a script, I test it after almost every changes. First I set up the major structure. Like when I make a window-script or part of a script I start with something like this:
CODE
class Window_Name < Window_Base def initialize(x,y,width,height) super(x,y,width,height) refresh end
def refresh self.contents.clear draw_contents end
def draw_contents draw_something(with, some, parameters) end
def update refresh if @something != @what_it_should_be end end
So that's also very important. Then, the biggest thing I learned scripting from is TRIAL AND ERROR. That's the most irritating way to learn something, cause it's more ERROR than TRIAL, but it does the trick realy good.
So that's it how I did it. Now it's up to you. Do some requests (if I didn't do it allready :P) and learn from them.
Hope that helped you out a little. If not, keep your eye on the Scriptology-topic (see my sig) where I'll be updating for my scripting(video)tutorials. Perhaps they're going to be usefull for you one day ;)
I guess i need to find a way to save to evil files when ya're evil and to good when ya're good Perhaps ill try to make 2 menu's so ya can have a good and evil titlescreen and ya can switch between them...
but do you think i/you can make something that changes savefiles and have the two seperate load screens? or perhaps i do something that when ya pull of a new game, you'll get an other screen (so it pops a new window) where ya can choose between good and evil, between male/female...and class?
mmm when i want to do this its going to cost me a lot of time cause i cant realy script but perhaps im lucky and can get it working ...well see...

for some reason the script doesnt like to work if I keep the @command_window.index = LOAD_COMMAND_INDEX in it lol thats line 101 without the script being edited from what you posted. Works fine without though.
I have changed it so that only one option is viewable at any one time, however, it only shows New Game, and nothing else. Also, only the top arrow shows when scrolling through the menu.

I have a small problem with this script...

Try press Down or Up. If that still not work, post your setup part of the script in here.
P.s. If you want to show 1 command at a time, the height of command box should be WLH (usually 24) + 32.
