some scripting questions

[Jragyn]

I uhh...didn't see if anyone answered this last bit, so erm, the general method to calling to an actor's experience till the next level is this:

@actor.next_rest_exp_s

like in use of this manner:

    self.contents.draw_text(480, 64, 84, 32, @actor.next_rest_exp_s, 2)

So...yup.
next_rest_exp_s.
The string form of the experience remaining to the next level!

question 8: im working with this code

class ICON < Window_Selectable
  
  def initialize
    super (1,100,20,20)
  end
  
 def update (i)
   if Input.trigger?(Input::A)
     print i
   end
 end
 
  
end

i have this set with multiple icons on screen they do the same thing but on diffrent characters however whenever the "a" button is pressed all of the icons trigger not just the specific one that was clicked? what can i do to fix this

You need to be a little more specific on what you are doing, or trying to do. I personally have no idea what you are asking. From the sounds of it, you need to be a little more specific on what happens when the A button is pressed. Maybe an example of the code your working with would help...

   $battlebackground.x = 0
   $battlebackground.y = 0
   $battlebackground.z = 101
   $battler = []
   @icon = []
   $enemy = []
   for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
    $battler[i] = Sprite.new
    $battler[i].bitmap = Bitmap.new("Graphics/Battlers/#{$game_party.actors[i].battler_name}")
     if i == 0 then
       $battler[i].x = 10
     else
       $battler[i].x = $battler[i - 1].x + 150
     end
     $battler [i].y = 100
     $battler [i].z = 101
     @icon[i] = ICON.new
     @icon[i].x = $battler[i].x + 10
     @icon[i].z = 102
   end
      
   Graphics.transition
  loop do
   Graphics.update
   Input.update
   #update 
   for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
     @icon[i].update(i)
     end
   if $scene != self
    break
   end
  end 
  Graphics.freeze
 end   
 
end


class ICON < Window_Selectable
  
  def initialize
    super (1,100,20,20)
  end
  
 def update (i)
   if Input.trigger?(Input::A)
     print i
   end
 end
 
  
end

im trying to get the icons to display the action menu (not yet coded) that has all of the actions/commands you can use in battle and form there im just going to let the default battle system take over.

I'll take a look here. At a glance, though, why do you have all the global variables? It would be better to make them public instance variables and create attr_accessors if you need to access them outside the class.

You also do need not set the x and y. Each is 0 already unless it is otherwise defined.
Also, it is not good to have much more than Graphics, Input, and the normal update in the main loop. I see you have the update commented out and have other stuff in there. Just put the other stuff in the update method, and write it like this:

@icons.each {|icon| icon.update}

Check the help menu chapter Enumerable to learn more about that. Once you properly learn how to use iterators, it will open up a lot of different things that you can do. I'll look at this a little more in a little bit and get back to you.
