self.z?

[diagostimo 11]

hey guys, iv been getting into scripting and thought id start with a custom window, im having trouble with my script though, so i have a map scene here, which draws a map, and has an index to grid the map up, the problem is my index cursor is being drawn behind the map image, the only way i can see it is if i reduce the opacity of the maps image, which makes my map look really dull as it is merging it with the color scheme of my windowskin, so i need to change the self.z of either the index's cursor, or the image, heres my script as it stands:

What's this Scene_PalletTown supposed to do?

[diagostimo 11]

its a map script for pokemon, the scene pallet town will open a window with a zoomed image of the town, much like in the actual pokemon games, obvo they will be a scene for all the index's with a town or route, regards to my question, i have solved it on another forum

here, if anyone stumbles upon this looking for a resolution :http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,11398.new/boardseen.html#new

I recently just got in a fist fight trying to figure out Z, but it was for the way Events were being set with screen_z, and I havent learned how to do the Windows aspects in RGSS yet, so I am no help.

 

BTW, if you have code, you could probably hide it in CODE and SPOILER tags for easier readability, and so we can get access to formatted text... I'll try looking at this...
