Quick Scripter Question!

[RPG 0]

Hey guys it's RPG again.

 

A quick question to anyone who knows their scripts better than I.

 

I'm great at just about everything in RMXP but scripting. ( I never really bothered to learn it's syntax that much....)

 

Below I shall show you a simple script made in the description inside that simply displays a small box with your gold in it. (I prefer to have my gold on screen rather than having to open the menu up to look.)

 

As labeled below, calling a script with Gold_Window.hide will hide it. After a million attempts with:

• Gold_Window.hide
  
• Gold_Window.unhide
  
• Gold_Window.show
  
• Gold_Window.true
  
• Gold_Window.false
  
• Gold_Window
  

I am curious to how you unhide it. Anyone know?

You just call hide again.

The method appears to be a toggle:

 

@hide = !@hide

 

This basically just returns the opposite of whatever boolean value it actually is.

Odd...it doesn't work......adding that to the list of failures for me.

[ForeverZer0 44]

I can make a script that actually works real quick if you like. I see all sorts of errors with the one you have posted. It will only take a couple minutes.

[RPG 0]

Couple of minutes?! Well sure then if it's that quick.

 

I was thinking of possibly toggling the actual window so that you only see the gold value (if you used it in game yet).

 

But yeah go ahead I'll be very thankful for your help and not having to waste all the time trying to figure that out.

On pastebin since the this site does not know how to handle tabs in the message box, quite possibly the most annoying thing here.

Just use $game_map.display_gold = true/false to hide/unhide the window.

This doesn't redraw the window every frame like the old script did, which is a horrible mistake even for a beginner scripter.

 

If you want it located somewhere differently on the screen, changed opacity, colors, no windowskin, etc. just say, I'll give you the line to add to do it.

Oh wow that was fast and it is indeed efficient! I thank you once again.

 

And yes i would like to change its attributes since it gets in the way for one of my graphics.

Directly above/below the comment in the scripts, just add the lines:

 

@gold_hud.x = X

@gold_hud.y = Y

 

Obviously replace the values with actual numbers.

 

If you simply want to move it to the right side of the screen:

@gold_hud.x = 640 - @gold_hud.width

 

...or move to the bottom

@gold_hud.y = 480 - @gold_hud.height

 

...or change the opacity:

@gold_hud.back_opacity = OPACITY (a value between 0..255)

 

...or not use a windowskin...

@gold_hud.windowskin = nil

Thank you very much!

 

I also didn't notice until I was adding and checking my other scripts. I'm also using your hunger and thirst script too! (Which btw was released 2 days from now, exactly 2 years ago.)

 

So I also thank you on that as well!
