[Help Request]Window_Player, A custom window I need some help with Options

[Bigace]

Okay in my CMS in Scene's Skill, Status, Equip, and Bio; I have a window that shows the characters faces like this



However it doesn't show up like that in the game, but instead like this:

CODE

#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
# ■ Window_Base
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
class Window_Base < Window
    def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y, type)
        begin
            case type
            when 0 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_SMALL) rescue nil
            when 1 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_GRAY) rescue nil
            when 2 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_LARGE) rescue nil
            when 3 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_MIDDLE) rescue nil
            end
            cw, ch = face.width, face.height
            self.contents.blt(x , y - ch, face, Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch))
        rescue
        end  
    end  
end
#==============================================================================
# ■ Window_Player
#==============================================================================
class Window_Player < Window_Base
    def initialize(actor)
        super(342, -8, 258, 85)
        self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
        self.opacity, self.z, @actor = 0, 150, actor
        refresh
    end
    def refresh
        self.contents.clear
        for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
            actor = $game_party.actors[i]
            draw_actor_face(actor, i * 57, 50, 1)
            if actor.index == 0
                draw_actor_face(actor, 0, 50, 0)
            elsif actor.index == 1
                draw_actor_face(actor, 57, 50, 0)
            elsif actor.index == 2
                draw_actor_face(actor, 115, 50, 0)
            elsif actor.index == 3
                draw_actor_face(actor, 171, 50, 0)
            end
        end
    end
end

So whats supposed to happen with this window is when the player switches between characters, the character that the player is on will be colored in and the other 3 will be grayed out. Pretty much I need the second image to act like the first image. Hopfully this is enough info.

My best guess is that you don't call Window_Player#refresh each time the cursor changes position, however one canot say with only this part of the script. By the way, why not write your refresh method like this instead:

CODE

    def refresh
        self.contents.clear
        for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
            actor = $game_party.actors[i]
            draw_actor_face(actor, i * 57, 50, actor.index == i ? 0 : 1)
        end
    end

Okay lol, I should of just post RMXPUnlimited.

Anyways, not much of the rest of the script I can post. Anything else would be in the scenes which would look like this:

CODE

#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
# ■ Window_Base
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
class Window_Base < Window
    def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y, type)
        begin
            case type
            when 0 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_SMALL) rescue nil
            when 1 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_GRAY) rescue nil
            when 2 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_LARGE) rescue nil
            when 3 then face = RPG::Cache.picture("face/" + actor.name + FACE_MIDDLE) rescue nil
            end
            cw, ch = face.width, face.height
            self.contents.blt(x , y - ch, face, Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch))
        rescue
        end  
    end  
end
#==============================================================================
# ■ Window_Player
#==============================================================================
class Window_Player < Window_Base
    def initialize(actor)
        super(342, -8, 258, 85)
        self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
        self.opacity, self.z, @actor = 0, 150, actor
        refresh
    end
    def refresh
        self.contents.clear
        for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
            actor = $game_party.actors[i]
            draw_actor_face(actor, i * 57, 50, 1)
            if actor.index == 0
                draw_actor_face(actor, 0, 50, 0)
            elsif actor.index == 1
                draw_actor_face(actor, 57, 50, 0)
            elsif actor.index == 2
                draw_actor_face(actor, 115, 50, 0)
            elsif actor.index == 3
                draw_actor_face(actor, 171, 50, 0)
            end
        end
    end
end
class Scene_Biography
    include ACE
    def initialize(actor_index = 0); @actor_index = actor_index; end
    def main
        @actor = $game_party.actors[@actor_index]
        @status_face, @biog_window = Window_Face.new(@actor), Window_Biography.new(@actor)
        @player_window = Window_Player.new(@actor)
        #[Background stuff]
        @windows = [@biog_window, @status_face, @mst_lay, @mst_back, @player_window]
        Graphics.transition(10, "Graphics/Transitions/004-Blind04")
        loop {Graphics.update; Input.update; update; break if $scene != self}
        Graphics.freeze
        @windows.each {|window| window.dispose}
    end
                    def update
                                         # [other stuff]
                    end
end

Well, as I said, I can't see your scene calling Window_Player#refresh anywhere. So what happend is that the only time your window executes its refresh method to draw the faces is when it is created (while the actor's index is probably not set yet, or not properly set), which makes all faces appear gray. Since you never refresh the window after that, it's only natural that its content does not change.
