Hey guys, I have next to no knowledge of scripting, and just wanted to make a quick little script that displays the current date after my hero rests / checks the calendar.
I have everything set up, but I don't know how to display the window only for a few seconds, and then remove it.
Currently it just displays for a short time and then is removed on its own (I assume after something is refreshed or whatever?)
Here is my pathetic little script, I assume there is something I could just throw in at the end to dispose the window after x frames or something?
CODE
class Calendar < Window_Base
def initialize
super(0, 0, 200, 120)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
date = $game_variables[4]
year = $game_variables[9]
if $game_variables[18] == 1
weekday = "Monday"
elsif $game_variables[18] == 2
weekday = "Tuesday"
elsif $game_variables[18] == 3
weekday = "Wednesday"
elsif $game_variables[18] == 4
weekday = "Thursday"
elsif $game_variables[18] == 5
weekday = "Friday"
elsif $game_variables[18] == 6
weekday = "Holiday"
else
weekday = "Nil"
end
self.contents.font.size = 20
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 200, 32, "Today's Date is:")
self.contents.draw_text(0, 20, 200, 32, weekday)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 30, 32, "Day")
self.contents.draw_text(35, 40, 25, 32, date.to_s)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 60, 40, 32, "Year")
self.contents.draw_text(45, 60, 25, 32, year.to_s)
end
end
Any help would be much appreciated.
Try this out.
CODE
#Set the amount of frames the calendar is shown here
CALENDAR_COUNT = 80

# Calendar

class Calendar < Window_Base

super(0, 0, 200, 120)

weekday = "Monday"
elsif $game_variables[18] == 2

elsif $game_variables[18] == 3

elsif $game_variables[18] == 4

elsif $game_variables[18] == 5

elsif $game_variables[18] == 6
weekday = "Holiday"
else
weekday = "Nil"
end
self.contents.font.size = 20
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 200, 32, "Today's Date is:")
self.contents.draw_text(0, 20, 200, 32, weekday)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 30, 32, "Day")
self.contents.draw_text(35, 40, 25, 32, date.to_s)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 60, 40, 32, "Year")
self.contents.draw_text(45, 60, 25, 32, year.to_s)
#variable to keep track of how long the window has been displayed
@count = 0
end
def update
#increment the count
@count += 1
#stop showing window when count reaches maximum
$game_temp.show_calendar = false if @count == CALENDAR_COUNT
end
end
#===============================================================================
# Game_Temp
#===============================================================================
class Game_Temp
attr_accessor :show_calendar
alias max_calendar_initialize_later initialize
def initialize
#run the old initialize method
max_calendar_initialize_later
#temp variable to flag the calendar to be shown
@show_calendar = false
end
end
#===============================================================================
# Scene_Map
#===============================================================================
class Scene_Map
alias max_calendar_update_later update
alias max_calendar_main_later main
def main
#run the old main method
max_calendar_main_later
#dispose calendar if it exists
@calendar.dispose unless @calendar.nil?
end
def update
#run the old update method
max_calendar_update_later
#if the calendar is flagged to be shown
if $game_temp.show_calendar
#create the calendar if it hasn't been created
@calendar = Calendar.new if @calendar.nil?
#update the calendar
@calendar.update
#if the calendar exists and calendar isn't flagged to be shown
elsif !@calendar.nil?
#dispose the calendar
@calendar.dispose
@calendar = nil
end
end
end
Choose how many frames you want it to be displayed by setting the CALENDAR_COUNT variable at the top. To display the calendar just use this call script:
CODE
$game_temp.show_calendar = true
