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 ;)

EDIT: N\m about the gold part. Now that I can see it, would it be possible for you to separate the Health, Mana, and the Exp. Bars and place them on the right side of the screen away from the Face and name? And could you move the gold icon and readout to the bottom left? So far, it looks great.

Sure I can Though I've a hard time figuring out how to go read the amount of enemies are on the map for the other request. But yes, I'll see what I can do
Oh and for the gold thing, you could set the icon_id to "", then it'll be gone

Hello pim321!
What I need is a display where is shows the health bars/mp bars of ALL the current party members to the bottom right of the screen. I have attached a picture of about what I would like it to look like. Also, if possible, could you make it easily editable what colors all of the bars are? Thanks in advance for any and all who can get to doing this!
Keep in mind that I would like all the colors to be editable, in case I change my mind about how they should look The bottom Actor should be the 1st bar, and when a party member is added, they get one bar above him.
Oh! and almost forgot, I also need the ability to call script so that the entire display disappears when a scene is happening.

Good you like it. The color of the bars depends on the Hp/Mp colors from the system. Those can be changes (along with the bars in the status and menu windows) by changing the Window picture. The colors of the whole system are located on the bottom left.

would you be able to make a hud that shows the HP, MP, Exp but also a picture that depands on a variable or switch to help explain i want this picture to show what season it is on the game and this changes roughly evey 30 game day the time system i've done but i cant get it to display the picture next to the HUD i'm using from the requiem battle system ( i know how to replace to HUD in that battle system so a stand alone HUD would be best) i hope i've been clear on what i would like

I hope the HUD you want is allready here, els I'll mod one for ya For the HUD ya're talking about I'm not sure if it has a call script thing allready. If it has, go in the script and set the start display to 'false' so that the HUD doens't show on startup automaticly. Now for the way to put it on, just go and set a event with a 'call script' wich has the following code
CODE
#to toggle the hud, say: hud
#to set the hud 'on' (true) or 'off' (false), say: hud(true) #or hud(false)
