[RMVXA][RESOLVED] selecting actor issue

[bigace]

Okay the issue I"m having that's been bothering me the whole day that I can't figure out in rmvxace is selecting an actor. What I was doing was when you select an actor from the list in Window_MenuStatus, the game should take you to that selected actors skill window, however, it doesn't do that and it only shows the first actors information. Originally VXAce menu selects the actor from Window_MenuStatus and then sends you straight to a new scene where it gives you the selected actors info.

I just want to know what I'm missing as I need to do this in three other scenes in the menu script for my game.

  def select_actor
    $game_party.menu_actor = $game_actors[@party_window.item] #<= So when pressing L and R, it will go to the appropriate actor
    @status_window.actor = $game_actors[@party_window.item] #<= Draws the status for the selected actor
    @party_window.hide.deactivate
    @status_window.show.activate
  end

This is what I got after messing around with the code a bit. Kinda funny how I don't use VXA at all nor have I studied how the classes work, yet the problem was clearly obvious to me.

But I will agree that VXA makes things stupid complicated compared to XP.

Thank you for the help again
I had this at one point:

$game_party.menu_actor = $game_actors[@party_window.item]

but it wasn't working, because I didn't think of the second part:

@status_window.actor = $game_actors[@party_window.item]
