Stopping flash command cursor, in the menù Options

[Haku]

Hi guys °°
I have a question...
I state that I have checked the code a little bit, but I have not found anything about it...
I would like the selection window is not flashing, and remained rather steady...
What should I change?

The cursor blink is in the Window class which is a built in class that I don't think can be changed.
The only way I can see to make the cursor stop blinking is to set the window active variable to false(by writing $window_name.active = false), but most scripts use that to decide what window is actually active, so you would basically have to rewrite everything that uses the active variable and make it use another variable instead.

Window class.... setting self.active to false.... done

[Show/Hide] code

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ** Window
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class is for all windows.
#==============================================================================

class Window
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Alias Methods
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias nr_flashing_update  update  unless $@
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update(*args)
    self.active = false
    ret_val = nr_flashing_update(*args)
    self.active = true
    return ret_val
  end
end

@Night_Runner: you are my idol, i olve you xD =)

Or you could do like that.

I try to understand the script, but I can't quite. What does the $@ do?

Also, where can you get what all those classes look like? I can't find them in the manual. Well, some have it, but not all. This is one of them.

In fact even I did not understand how it is used nell'unless $@ ^^'

[stripe103]

As I read it, it activated it no matter what it was previously, so to avoid all windows getting activated I guess he put it there, but I'm not sure about it..

The unless $@ was a snippet I picked up from a tutorial ages ago.
As far as I can tell, it basically says

CODE

alias new_method_name original_method_name unless new_method_name.exists?

You need the unless $@ for when you're dealing with the hidden scripts, such as Window and Audio, because when you do a soft reset (hit F12 during gameplay) it doesn't reload the hidden scripts, only the ones in the script editor.
And it becomes a problem because since it didn't reload the hidden scripts, the hidden scripts never remade original_method_name, so when you try and alias it problems occur


@> stripe103: A fair chunk of the hidden scripts can be found in the Pokemon Starter Kit, but since I just aliased the method I didn't have to look at it to figure out what I needed to change (you're the one who mentioned that the window needs to be set to self.active = false for the update for class window)

[stripe103]

Yeah, but like I said, the way I read it, all the windows that get updated will have their active set to true and not what they was before the update. Wouldn't that mean that all scripts that use the active variable will be kinda ruined? Or it just change it to true on certain occasions?
