Calintz's Scripting Questions(Mainly Snippets)

[Tazero]

The updste shouldn't it be like

gold_window.update if active

Or something along those lines?
And wouldn't you use scene_bler.close/quit/end
or something close to that?

[Calintz]

I'm pretty sure that those are not the proper commands.
**I have already tried to 'refresh,' 'dispose,' and 'remove.' Update might work, but I doubt it.

[Tazero]

Don't worry though i'm learning too, hqrd as hell isn't it?

[Calintz]

Can be.. .. ..
For the most part, I am beginning to nail everything simple.

I can do what I need to get things the way I want. I just hit some small road blocks sometimes.

[Tazero]

Alright try this

scene_gold.update else scene_gold.dispose

I'm using my basic knowledge of ruby sorry i can't be of more help

[Calintz]

That might actually work, hold on.. .. ..let me try.

EDIT
No good...

[Jackolas]

probably have a idea. but need to get home from work to test it out.
will let you know.

[Tazero]

Scene_gold.active? else scene_gold.refresh else scene_gold.dispose

?

I'm not sure how you update it from a call script. Heres what  to change the gold window from the window_message class

Spoiler: ShowHide

        # If \G
        if c == "\002"
          # Make gold window
          if @gold_window == nil
            @gold_window = Window_Gold.new
            @gold_window.x = 560 - @gold_window.width
            if $game_temp.in_battle
              [b]@gold_window.y = 192[/b]
            else
              [b]@gold_window.y = self.y >= 128 ? 32 : 384[/b]
            end
            @gold_window.opacity = self.opacity
            @gold_window.back_opacity = self.back_opacity
          end
          # go to next text
          next
        end

Here are the line numbers you change

Spoiler: ShowHide

Line 115 @gold_window.x = 560 - @gold_window.width
# Change the y positon in battle.
Line 117 @gold_window.y = 192
# Change the y depending if the y is less then 128. If goes to 32 if the y is there. Otherwise the y is 382.
Line 119 @gold_window.y = self.y >= 128 ? 32 : 384

Well Calintz the gold window should already be disposing by itself. Okay so you're using the \g command in a message box right? Well then it should dispose it already. Its not going to dispose until the message teh \g command is in is over. But if all failse use this

if  @gold_window.visible
  @gold_window.visible = false
end

or if that doesnt work try

if @gold_window.visible
  @gold_window.dispose
end

All done in a script command even the branch. And yes it should be

@gold_window.dispose

Hopefully you didnt mess up the Window_Message by accident.
So if the above two fails try replacing your current Message_Window with a new one from a new project and see if it still happens.

[Calintz]

None of this works.
I don't use the gold window from the message box. I am creating a new window with the "Call Script" command. I constantly get a no method error when I use the dispose command.

**Could Ccoa's UMS be causing the issues, but I wouldn't understand why, because I am still using the default syntax.

**This is exactly as the commands appear in my game.

@gold = Window_Gold.new
@gold.x = 416
@gold.y = 288

The window will not dispose though...

I have tried using @gold.dispose and several other commands, but all attempts have failed. I even replaced the default window message script like game_guy suggested.

[G_G]

then use

@gold.dispose

Only use

@gold_window.dispose

If you've actually named it @gold_window. And why do that when you can go into Window_Message line 115 and change teh x there and also change teh y and call it from teh message

[Calintz]

No, no, no!! I have been using

@gold.dispose

[G_G]

then use

@gold.dispose

Only use

@gold_window.dispose

Use the method thats not strook out then.

[Calintz]

I have tried them both Game_Guy...

[G_G]

Give me ccoa's message system
and I'll alter the gold x and y for you.

I was trying to cross out the code but it didnt work.  But gimme ccoa's message system and the x and y coordinates and I'll alter it for you. Then just use the
\g command.

[Calintz]

That's okay. I know how to do that.
Thank you...So far, things are working well.. .. ..

[Reno-s--Joker]

Maybe you've put the dispose command in the wrong spot. But I still suggest you give G_G your script. ^-^

[Calintz]

I guarantee that I did not put the .dispose command into the wrong place.

This was my exact code.. .. ..

@gold = Window_Gold.new
@gold.x = 416
@gold.y = 288

Upon attempting to update, I tried all of the following:

Spoiler: ShowHide

if @gold.visible
  @gold.dispose
end

if @gold != nil
  @gold.dispose
end

@gold.dispose

**None of the aforementioned succeeded.
**I have everything under control now though.

**Game_Guy = Power Up!!

[G_G]

game_guy says "So I solved it?" game_guy gets slapped by Ronnie. ronnie says " No duy look at the power up"
