Teaching myself of scripts and have a few questions. Options

[TheCableGuy]

I'm looking around in the basic default scripts of RPGXP And I'm wondering a few things.

First, is it possible to Edit default the Menu scripts to accommodate a single Player character rather then a Party? Now, I've looked up single Party scripts already (such as Taiine's Solo Player though most of them are either far more complex then I'm looking for (Mind you, I'm not doing a project only playing with the default scripts to learn how they work, and only reading other scripts for reference) Or they require a great deal of Icons and Graphic alterations that I'm not interested in.

Actually, that pretty much covers most of my questions. Can you do simple Edist to the default Scripts to make simple Menu redesigns rather then using 3rd party Scripts? I was able to redo the Status Screen to make it look better though that wasn't much more the shifting the Placements around.

I also added in the FF7 Menu while I was playing around so I do have that one. But I'm trying to figure out how to make "Cosmetic" changes.

Oh, that another question. How do you change the Names of existing Parameters and/or Edit them out where Superfluous.

Did that make any sense?

EDIT: I've been reading more of the Tutorials and realized I should of reworded my question. I should of asked Should I use custom scripts over editing the default scripts and why? I now see why 3rd party scripts are used more regularly then editing the Default scripts.

Ok. I have a few more Specific Questions.

First, am I Correct in assuming that Custom Scripts override the Default scripts where they differ? From what I can read, this is what i gather though I can't seam to find anything in any of the Tutorials regarding that.

Second, This is the 'Updating Status Screen' code snippet from "Final Fantasy VII menu" That I'm currently using (don't ask me why there's gibberish in the commented out sections. Was like that when I copied it.)

CODE

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Updating Status Screen
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update_status
if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
$game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
@command_window.active = true
@status_window.active = false
@status_window.index = -1
return
end
if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
case @command_window.index
when 1 # �’X�’L�’�€�
# �€š��€š�š�’A�’N�’^�[�€š�šŤs�€œ����š���€š�ž 2 �†�ŒŹ�ƒ�€š�šŹ�™Ť�€�
if $game_party.actors[@status_window.index].restriction >= 2
# �’u�’U�[ SE �€š�‘�€��€��€˜t
$game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
return
end
# �š�†�€™� SE �€š�‘�€��€��€˜t
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# �’X�’L�’�€��€��‡�€“�˜�€šÉ��˜�€Å
¡Ä��€˜��€š�
$scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)
when 2
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
loop do
if @command_window.y < 480
@command_window.y += 40
end
if @game_stats_window.x > 0 - @game_stats_window.width
@game_stats_window.x -= 40
end
if @map.y > 0 - @map.height
@map.y -= 40
end
if @status_window.x < 640
@status_window.x += 40
end
delay(0.5)
if @status_window.x >= 640
break
end
end
$scene = Scene_Equip.new(@status_window.index)
when 3
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
loop do
if @command_window.y < 480
@command_window.y += 40
end
if @game_stats_window.x > 0 - @game_stats_window.width
@game_stats_window.x -= 40
end
if @map.y > 0 - @map.height
@map.y -= 40
end
if @status_window.x < 640
@status_window.x += 40
end
delay(0.5)
if @status_window.x >= 640
break
end
end
$scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)
end
return
end
end
end
end



;

What I was wanting to do was, when Choosing to view the Status window of the main character, it would skip over the Character Selection (since I only have one character) and go directly to the status screen. Now, What I'm assuming is that the code:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)

calls for the Scene_Status function which processes the Selection process and once the character is selected, it then calls for the Window_Status....

The question. Is there a way to Skip the Scene_Status call in the Main Menu script and jump directly to the Window_Status Call?

Is it as simple as Replacing

CODE

$scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)

with

CODE

    @status_window = Window_Status.new(@actor)

Or am I over simplifying it again?


EDIT: no wait. Nevermind. I was way off. That's just silly.

What if I put a Call to the Status Screen in

CODE

when 3
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
@command_window.active = false
@status_window.active = true
@status_window.index = 0

Of the "# Updating the Command Selection" Section?


Oh and don't everyone come running all at once to respond to my posts. It's not like I need some form of answer to let me know I'm not talking to empty space. Honestly, even someone telling me I'm an Idiot is better then silence.

well if it isn't theCableGuy

I hear ya man, sometimes a bad response is better than no response. So I'll do my best to make this a good one.
I gather by your posts that you are trying to get your RGSS on.

Warning! "the more you learn about scripting ~ the more you will have to learn about scripting"

I've learned a lot through reverse engineering code as well, I have no regrets but I've realized that I could of also
been here at R3 taking advantage of the RGSS Script Reference http://www.rpgrevolution.com/rgss-script-ref/

never the less I picked up some of the rookie level coding and stuck with it. I got to know the structure/object orientation,
making a Class, defining methods, variables, arguments, and my personal favorite = modules and constants.
As you will find there's so much stuff in syntax that will make your head pop. This is why I hold a high respect for those who
program well (and still have a friendly personality.)

Custom scripts don't always override the default scripts, some will simply add more to the game while others will reuse existing code.
There's no rule against editing a default script to have it do what you want. But it is more efficient to use existing code verses

script one: do this
script two: don't do this, instead do that
script three: don't do this and don't do that, do me

when you can avoid useless code by make an edit

script one: do this do me

though I am an artist/musician, I'm going to strengthen my programming skills to bring that music and art alive.
Still I have a long ways to go when it comes to programming, but it's the journey right?

Oh and since you only have one character try this:

CODE

$scene = Scene_Status.new(0)

^,^

[TheCableGuy]

Much Appreciated. While I have read the Tutorials, I found that I'm not getting everything in the correct context. Basically, I have trouble figuring out what each command is suppose to do, at least "when" I need to know it. I often reread the same block of code 20 times before I get the syntax being used then I have to look up it's use. And that's only for the simplest scripts.

I got so frustrated that I took a break from Scripting to work on doing the Graphical Work in the Tilesets. Found I have a bit of a knack for it much more then I do for Scripting. Not saying I don't still what to figure out the Scripting though.

CODE

$scene = Scene_Status.new(0)

Where does this go? I found

CODE

$scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)

But changing "(@status_window.index)" to (0) doesn't seam to do anything. Still Brings up the Character selector.

so you need the FF7 menu edited for one person? why didn't you say so :-P

That's interesting. I'll have to study it more to know exactly what it's doing but maybe I should of posted the Script I currently have as I must have since edited it more then I thought. Your edits seam to throw my menu into chaos. It's still displaying the Base Menu window and Displaying the New one over it. It also crashes trying to open any sub window. I tried in is a fresh project and it works properly.

FYI. Because this isn't actually a game but rather just an exercise in experimentation, I guess I really don't have much direction in what I'm trying to achieve. Really, I'm trying to figure out which block of code displays which menu screen. To some extent, I have figured out how to edit Window_Status a bit to get a nice looking status screen.. I may have edited other scripts too. Tell me if something's not right with one of them.

This is my script with your Edits. I believe I got them all.

[gameface101]

there were a few lines of code that needed to be commented out for they were no longer needed,

the '#' was used to do this.

also to comment a chunk of code you can use

=begin

the chunk of code
you want to comment out

=end


Study the beginning on the script, I've started proper indent for you to see how classes, defining methods, cases, if statements... end

for example:

CODE

Class Example_Test

  def example_method
        if example == 0
           example = 0
        else
           example = 1
        end #end if statement
  end # end defining method
end #end class

the script:

CODE

#*********************************************************
#Final Fantasy VII menu setup //

#*********************************************************
#To use:
#If you do not want Faces, go to line 94
#and change delete the # of draw_actor_graphic
#and put a # infront of draw_actor_face
#

Thank you very much. I'm starting to understand it now.

Question. Suppose someone would like to have 2 Status Screens... Or 2 pages of the status screen. From what I can gather is that the edits you posted draw the Data from the regular Status Screen and Displays it on the main Menu screen. Is there a Way to add a 2nd page (or edit the Menu Screen to display as the Primary Status and page 2 for secondary status?

Tell me if I'm on the right track.
My first thought is to make a Second "window_status" Script (renamed, of course) and make the Menu script call to that one when you select "Status" from the menu. Am I close?

Edit:
Or maybe reuse the Window_MenuStatus Script as we are now bypassing that one?

What would of happened if you were to change

CODE

class Window_MenuStatus < Window_Selectable

To

CODE

class Window_MenuStatus < Window_base

in the Window_MenuStatus Script? Would that just removed the Cursor Selector from the menu? Would probably need to do re-overhaul of the referring Scripts though.
