How did I learned to script
QUOTE
Hey pim! I'm the Law G14!

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 ;)


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Thanks! Good job.
But I'm getting some errors.

EDIT: Ok.. I fixed the F9 problem by pasting the script above the NEO SAVE SYSTEM.
But now when I press F9 again, it wont close the menu.

I noticed F9 for save doesn't actually bring up the save menu, it brings up a load menu. By changing the first parameter on the following line
scene = Scene_File.new(false, false, true)
from false to true, fixes that.


As a side question for those more familiar with the language, where are those parameters defined? I figured out what each did by playing around, but I couldn't find where they were defined.


Sorry if this is considered a necro-post, but figured if anyone else grabbed this script they might want to know about that.

@redm
thanks for the notice, I didn't see that wink.gif thanks a lot
in the next version I'll have this updated

@RuGeaR1277
it is possible to use the whole keyboard, though I won't include this in this script since ya can use an other script (from ccoa if I'm right) that let you do just that thing
only thing you have to do is put the correct code at this script so that you can use it
...I'll look that script up for ya

Nice! It sounds like a customized menu like when we play some average MMORPG games. Something sure, your script is very interesting. Good work! wink.gif

It's a good script,but there is a phew things I don't like about it,such as status appearing for the actor your using,and not the whole party,same goes for items and the such,also it would be nice to have the menu still enabled,so you have the option of using shortcuts or opening the menu to go to the extra window from another script,in my case KGC stat distribution,I probably wont use it because of these faults but great script nonetheless smile.gif

Heya,

I did an update to v2.0.2 wink.gif
Haha, it's been a long time, though I just though I do it quickly wink.gif

Hope someone is still interested in this smile.gif


EDIT:
@Darastrix,
Heya, sure I'll be able to make it so that you still can open the menu.
It's very easy.
And for extra options, perhaps I'll redo this script so that you can easy add these kinda things.
(Like if you do the next, it'll work: "kgc_stats.new", input::F5, input::B. So that this would make the kgc_stats window appear on pressing F5, and closing on escape)


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

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 ;)


Greatzz,

Heya,

I did an update to v2.0.2 wink.gif
Haha, it's been a long time, though I just though I do it quickly wink.gif

Hope someone is still interested in this smile.gif


EDIT:
@Darastrix,
Heya, sure I'll be able to make it so that you still can open the menu.
It's very easy.
And for extra options, perhaps I'll redo this script so that you can easy add these kinda things.
(Like if you do the next, it'll work: "kgc_stats.new", input::F5, input::B. So that this would make the kgc_stats window appear on pressing F5, and closing on escape)


Greatzz,
SojaBird.


Oh yeah that's true,instead of opening save it would open load,forgot about that in my post above, and you don't have to worry about it tonight,but,is there nothing you can do about it opening only the character your using?

Yep, the update opens the save now properly instead of the load tongue.gif

For the question you're asking, I don't realy get it...
What ya meen with opening for your character only? Like the status window or sth?


Greatzz,

How did I learned to script
QUOTE
Hey pim! I'm the Law G14!

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.
