Can Someone Help Me With This?, Editing Some Scripts By A Newbie Options

[SleepingSirenx]

I want to create a window inside the menu where when a certain command is confirmed, it will show a window saying "Quicksave Successful!"
Here is the script i've been experimenting

CODE

#============================================================================
# Confirmation Window
#============================================================================
  class Window_Confirmation < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 640, 480)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.contents.font.name = "Lucida Sans Unicode"
    self.contents.font.size = 18
    refresh
  end
#------------------------
# Confirmation Text
#------------------------
def refresh
  self.contents.clear
  self.contents.font.name = "Lucida Sans Unicode"
  self.contents.font.size = 18
  self.contents.draw.text = "Quicksave Successful!"
  self.contents.draw.text = "Returning to Title Screen"
end
end

But I always get an error saying syntax error occured on the "class Window_Confirmation < Window_Base" line. Anyone can help me with this? thank you.

I fixed a couple of your errors, but I couldn't work out why you are getting a syntax error on the first line.

CODE

#============================================================================
# Confirmation Window
#============================================================================
class Window_Confirmation < Window_Base
  def initialize
    #i made the window size a bit smaller
    #super(x position, y position, width, height)
    super(160, 192, 320, 92)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    #you only need to specify the font name and size once if it doesn't change
    self.contents.font.name = 'Lucida Sans Unicode'
    self.contents.font.size = 18
    refresh
  end
  #------------------------
  # Confirmation Text
  #------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    #all positions in a draw_text command are relative to the window
    #self.contents.draw_text(x position, y position, width, height, text)
    self.contents.draw_text(0,0,288,32,'Quicksave Successful!')
    self.contents.draw_text(0,32,288,32,'Returning to Title Screen')
  end
end

If you are getting the error when you start the game it may be something else other then this script,
but if not it may be a problem with how your creating the window.

If you are still getting an error, can you post a screen of the error box please ?

I figured out why I was having a syntax error in the "class ..." line. I accidentally placed it upon the update command selection. My bad.
Now, does it require for me to create a scene for my said window? and where should i place it? here is the script i'm trying to edit (or destroy) .

There's a couple things you need to do to get the effect you desire.
The first thing you need to do is create your window object in your menu scene.

Find the main method in your menu scene, it looks like this:

CODE

def main
    
    s1 = $data_system.words.item
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.equip
    s4 = "Status"
    s5 = "Memory"
    s6 = "Quicksave"
    s7 = "Quit"

#ect.

Anywhere under the word main you need to create the window like so.
Also you should set window visibility to false so you can't see it when you open the menu.

CODE

@confirmation_window = Window_Confirmation.new
@confirmation_window.visible = false

The main method should look something like this:

CODE

def main
    #create the confirmation window
    @confirmation_window = Window_Confirmation.new
    @confirmation_window.visible = false

    s1 = $data_system.words.item
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.equip
    s4 = "Status"
    s5 = "Memory"
    s6 = "Quicksave"
    s7 = "Quit"

#ect.

Then you need to find where you want to activate the window which I'm guessing is here:

CODE

when 5
      #Play Decision SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
      # Quicksave Game
      $game_system.map_quicksave
      delay(0.5)
      #Return to Title Screen
      $scene = Scene_Title.new

Instead of sending you back to scene title straight away we are going to show the window so it should look something like this

CODE

when 5
      #Play Decision SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
      # Quicksave Game
      $game_system.map_quicksave
      #show the confirmation window
      @confirmation_window.visible = true

After this we want it to check for your button input to send you back to the title, but we only want it to check for this said input when the window is showing. To do this we find the update section:

CODE

def update
@command_window.update
@status_window.update
@map.update
#ect.

and we're going to put in the check for your button input to exit to the title screen when the window is visible.

CODE

def update
#if the confirmation window is visible
if @confirmation_window.visible
  #if the input key is either C or X
  if Input.trigger?(Input::C) || if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
    #Play Decision SE
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
    #hide the confirmation window
    @confirmation_window.visible = false
    #exit to title scene
    $scene = Scene_Title.new
  end
  #cancel the rest of the update method
  return
end
@command_window.update
@status_window.update
@map.update
#ect.

Ok and finally we need to dispose the confirmation window to free it from the memory. Even though its not visible, it doesn't mean its not there. We dispose windows at the end of the main method. Find this section:

CODE

Graphics.freeze
@command_window.dispose
@game_stats_window.dispose
@status_window.dispose
@map.dispose
end

Now we are going to add the confirmation window to the list of other disposed windows.

CODE

Graphics.freeze
@command_window.dispose
@game_stats_window.dispose
@status_window.dispose
@map.dispose
#dispose the confirmation window aswell
@confirmation_window.dispose
end

And that should be it. I did this all from memory and haven't tested it at all because it's late and I'm tired I may have forgotten something or I may have made a stupid spelling mistake so if it doesn't work or you can't figure it out I'll fix it tomorrow.
