Switch currency tag location? [SOLVED], From 100 $ to $100? Options

[Wonderjosh]

So I've been having a hell of a time looking for a script that does THIS:

Switches whatever the currency is (in this case, I'll just say $) from displaying "100 $" like it does by default, to displaying "$100".

Is it a simple edit to do or is there a little script around that does this? I can't seem to find a dang thing. Thanks.

Your talking about in the menu window right?

[Myst]

He means for the gold value to be displayed after the string
so instead of the gold menu saying "100 $" to say "$100" I know how to do this in RGSS2 but sadly not RGSS
it's a very easy edit, it should be in Scene_Menu if RGSS has the same name for it.

Thought so. Here you go. And yea, I knew what he meant, I wasn't thinking about what I typed lol. I realized the answer after I asked the question. XD

Just copy and paste it above main.

Wow, hey thanks for the quick responses!

So I plugged the thing in, however the string still shows up in default form in battle (not using any battle scripts at the moment) and within Ryex's menu system, it's still in the same spot too, but the gold amount is squished up more toward the right where the string still is

At the moment I'm looking through the default scripts to see if I can edit it a bit. I know very little Javascript which lets me understand Ruby a little bit, but I'm more arts-oriented than I am script-oriented, haha. EDIT: Nope, no clue, haha.

Oh, and I mean to switch it up everywhere the gold amount is shown! I figure I will just use "$" since my project is modern-ish.

I've tested this with Ryex's_Collapsing_CMS V 2.52 and it seems to work for me, but like Resource Dragon's script you'll need to change the G in the database to $.

Hey, right on, man! That works in the menu perfectly!

I ran it through a battle and I'm getting a NoMethodError for line 137. Says "undefined method 'draw_text'#<Window_BattleResult:0x31d2250>

This is line 137:

draw_text($game_party.gold, x, 0, 128)

Any ideas what this error is referring to?

Also, in the shop, is there a way to add the $ in front of the price of the items in stock? Shows up everywhere else perfectly! (Where your current gold is displayed and when you confirm purchases of items, just not in the listed in front of the price of the items in stock of the shop.) But I mean that's just a little detail so if it's too much of a hassle, don't worry about it. I'm totally thankful for what you've done so far.

Whoops, that was supposed to be draw_gold, not draw_text

Attempt 2!

Hot damn, that is a beautiful sight! You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you very much! Works like a charm! Makes me jealous of people with scripting talents haha

[Wonderjosh]

It's been a few days so hopefully I'm ok double-posting (sorry if it's not) but I just noticed that at the end of battle when the battle result window pops up, the gold amount shown is the party's total gold and not the gold received from the battle.

EDIT: Wait! I think I fixed it. I changed this line:

CODE

draw_gold(@$game_party.gold, x, 0, 128)

to this:

CODE

draw_gold(@gold.to_s, x, 0, 128)

in the battle results section. Just looked at the default battle results script and made the change. Is this right? I won't run into any errors along the way? Haha

You're a more observant man than I am

You're right about the @gold, you don't need the .to_s to convert the gold integer to a string, my code takes care of that automatically, but it won't hurt if you add it

I've edited post #8 so the code has your fix, for future generations that are looking for something similar

Right on! Haha and well I noticed it since I have a map where I test a bunch of things out before really implementing them and I had a test treasure chest that gave me $900,000, so when I saw that at the end of a battle (when the enemy only give me like $150) I knew something was off, haha.

And posterity, yes! This should help out others who want the same effect in their game. *High five.* Consider this thread solved for reals.
