I've been scripting in RGSS for about a month now and I have a few questions about it.

Window Message:


Answered: ShowHide
I honestly want to create my own Message System, but I don't get how to make your own commands and stuff. Like I've looked at Ccoa's, Dubleax's, G_G's and even Slipknots but I don't get it one bit...

If someone could explain these commands, I might be able to get it.

text.gsub!(/\\[Vv]\[([0-9]+)\]/) { $game_variables[$1.to_i] }


I pretty much get that line above, but I just need to know for clarification.

# Change "\\\\" to "\000" for convenience
text.gsub!(/\\\\/) { "\000" }
# Change "\\C" to "\001" and "\\G" to "\002"
text.gsub!(/\\[Cc]\[([0-9]+)\]/) { "\001[#{$1}]" }
text.gsub!(/\\[Gg]/) { "\002" }


If I wanted to show an icon would I go the normal .blt way? or something different?

Tint:


I've seen in Blizzard's Pre-Menu how he has a tint to the background, I've been wondering on how to do it.
I've looked at his code and in Game_Screen and I'm wondering how to do it.
Is it like:

@tone = Tone.new(0, 0, 0, 128)

To make it darker? And would I have to dispose and update this @tone as well?
I'm a little confused about that...

I'm sorry if these questions have already been answered or a topic like this already exists.

Here are message commands you can do
text.gsub!(/\\[Vv]\[([0-9]+)\]/) { $game_variables[$1.to_i] }


That displays variables as you know so here's how its broken down

text.gsub!(/\\x\[([y]+)\]/) { z }


x = The message code to be inputed in the message
y = this makes it so you need to include [number]the + by it means plus 9
z = What it displays

$1 is what y is stored in

Now we're gonna use this command for example
text.gsub!(/\\weapon\[([0-9]+)\]/) { $data_weapons[$1.to_i].name }

Ok what this does is once you type in
\weapon[x]
it'll display the weapon id's name. Notice I didnt use [] around weapon. It isnt needed. And the thing betwee {} could be anything
$data_skills
items
actors
etc.

Just remember to place $1.to_i in there

EDIT: as for the thing below in your first post
# Change "\\\\" to "\000" for convenience
text.gsub!(/\\\\/) { "\000" }
# Change "\\C" to "\001" and "\\G" to "\002"
text.gsub!(/\\[Cc]\[([0-9]+)\]/) { "\001[#{$1}]" }
text.gsub!(/\\[Gg]/) { "\002" }


Now what it does is make it so when a \ command is used it'll return it as the thing between {} so for instance
text.gsub!(/\\steps/) { "\003" }


Then below that we see this
while ((c = text.slice!(/./m)) != nil)

Below that type this
if c == "\003"
then below that we could include something like this
   if @gold_window == nil
            @gold_window = Window_Steps.new
            @gold_window.x = 560 - @gold_window.width
            if $game_temp.in_battle
              @gold_window.y = 192
            else
              @gold_window.y = self.y >= 128 ? 32 : 384
            end
            @gold_window.opacity = self.opacity
            @gold_window.back_opacity = self.back_opacity
          end
          # go to next text
          next


Even though it says @gold_window it'll make it steps instead. So then the final result will look like this

Ok, I think I got that part, thanks G_G :)
That's a lot easier than I thought.

G_G

look at my edited post I added the 2nd part
