[Scripting][Series]RGSS: Windows - Lesson 2b: Simple Menu Remodel Options

[Heavyblues]

Oh yeah yeah, sure..
I'll try making a tutorial as soon as I can. And that's not going to be soon xD
I have a script I'm working on and I'm studying for my SAT, but I'll try, and do my best
Edit : That depends on what you mean by a transition, a transition is changing from a state to another, even if you make a message window with an event it's called a transition >_>
But my guess is that you mean a transition like the one when you start up a battle ? Yes it can be done, but I still don't know how, I'll try to search it up and include it in the tutorial though

good luck

[Kinnison]

Oh, cool. Another tutorial
I learned how to make all these three but in a different way but thanks for showing a step-by-step method for it

[ccoa]

I'll be making a tutorial on windows that move or fade in eventually. Although anyone else who wants to tackle the subject is welcome.

Next up for me is selectable and command windows, though.

I never knew you could format your images to search for actor names like that. Though I'm familiar with creating windows, I still learned a bit from this tutorial.

Good work.

one more.
How if we rename the actor name's
For example i rename the cecelia with something else, than the actor face won't show or error
So How do we automatically save the actor face's name with the one in the project ?
Or maybe another way ?

Help will be really appreciated

Sorry, you edited after I replied.

There are a few ways to do this, but probably the most foolproof is by actor id. You can get actor id in the following way:

actor.id.to_s

(The to_s is necessary because id is a number, and the filename is a String.) That will be the number of the actor from the database. So if Cecilia is in slot 001, then her id is 1.

Thanks a million, and not only the script i get to know why this and that....

anyway i like all of your tutorials, they are explained clearly and the screen shot that make it just clearer than ever

And one thing for sure it worked !!

Here's a screenshot of my menu system. I used a picture from the Face Sets resource for the RPG Maker VX.

I think it came out very well, thanks for the tutorial ccoa.

@ CCOA
How the way we change character sprite in save file become face graphic like in window_status?

[Urborg]

how can i show a variable to the menu window

i mean if i want my char to start with 100 sanity points and during the game he looses some and if he reaches 0 he becomes insane (game over)

[BillSekowsky]

I tried doing the location part of the tutorial but when I run my menu I get the error message:

Script 'Window_location' line 18:TypeError Occured.
cannot convert nil into String


Here's line 18: self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, $game_map.name, 2)


Do you know what the problem is?

[JoRu]

I know this is a quite old topic but I get the same problem as BillSekowsky and I don't know what to do. I've looked at the demo and how it's scripted and it looked exactly the same. Does someone got a good answer to this. BTW, great script! I've been looking for something like this.

[woratana]

You may forget to add this.

CODE

class Game_Map
attr_reader :name
end

[BillSekowsky]

What do you mean when you say

CODE

Okay, back to the code. We need to get the map name from the stored database data. Fortunately for us, there's a way to load that data easily.

[code]# load the name of the map
@name = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")[@map_id].name

Where do I insert that?

[LoLawes]

I have learnt alot in the 3 tutorials by ccoa but i dont know how to make a window appear on the screen like the one in the 1st tutorial, if you could tell me how to do that i would be very thankful.

By the way my games aren't working could anyone help with that, as i test the game it comes up with an error:


????? 'Window_Location' ? 1 ??? TypeError ????????

undefined superclass `Window_Base
