oh well i have nothing to lose
i made the item window be called to appear in the map scene instead of through the menu scene (as well as the player's status) but the arrow keys don't move the cursor between items and pressing the action button only changes the item selection rectangle's opacity. so there are obviously issues with frame update, refresh, and that kind of thing but i can't figure out what to add to the Window_Item class:

also, i don't know how to close the window with another ESC press but that's not as high priority.
guidance is much appreciated.

wow here i am back at it again with the questions about a program nobody uses anymore.

is there a way to undo the whole justification thing that Ccoa's UMS script does to choice windows and go back to the default? (making choice windows the same size and position as message ones unless specified)
i've been trying to #comment parts of the script that deal with choices, but it's a wild goose chase and i might render the whole thing unuseable :facepalm:

windows are the bane of my existence

thanks in advance

Well, thank you very much anyway.
I've come up with a workaround which is replacing the inactive window with an identical-looking picture. ill put it here in case it's useful to someone

first the player reads text on a message window and sees a picture of choices next to it.
when they press SPACE, the window changes size + position, and shows choices instead. a picture of an empty window takes its original place.
and when the player selects a choice in the now legit choice window, its size and position changes back and it shows relevant text. the picture of choices returns.

repeat ad nauseum

yes, i've read this thread:
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=5907.0
and tried out the appropiately named Multiple Message Windows script there
but that script is super long and detailed and very oriented towards making speech bubbles.

is there really no other way to just show 2 or more windows at once (only one active, of course)?
i'm trying to make a custom battle system similar to classic pokemon (1 text window, 1 command window), but the AMS script, as far as I know, does not allow it.



eventing?
editing the Window_ classes?
script calls?

what do i do?
many thanks in advance.

There you go, keep in mind. This is intended for short choices, and only about 3 of them. Imagine that your choices use up one "line" on the message box each. At 4 lines the box has to reset and delete the prompt to draw all four. If your question is 1 line you can fit 3 choices if it is 2 lines you can fit 2 choices. After that it will bug because this is just a patch not really a full fix for the problem.


Thank you!!! (sorry i replied millenia later, it's been b u s y) I don't think I'll need more than 3 choices. It works perfectly, 10/10. Totes recommend.

Can you post your code for AMS? I use it too, but we may need to see what kind of edit you have been doing.
One of the sources you posted was for RGSS3, so I do not know if the methodology is really the same. Save Point's fix though might be what you are looking for, if I understand you correctly that you want:

"Prompt"
> Yes > No



That's EXACTLY what i want, but what's "Save Point's fix"? Is it a script? some kinda plugin? Whatever it is, i need to get my hands on it.
I also posted my edited AMS script just above.

Your going to have to mess with it a tiny bit maybe because my AMS is pretty modified but I managed to get this working.
Two Options:
Guide: ShowHide
First search for:
reset_window

Replace the code under it with this:
if $game_temp.choice_max > 0
  @item_max = @column_max = $game_temp.choice_max
  self.active = true
  self.index = 0
end

Next search for:
if c == "\n"

Replace that block of code with:
      if c == "\n"
        @lines += 1
        @y += 1
        @x = @indent + @face_indent
        if @lines >= $game_temp.choice_start
          @y = $game_temp.choice_start
          @x = (4 + @indent + @face_indent)
          @x += (@max_choice_x + 4) * (@lines - @y)
          @cursor_width = @max_choice_x + 4
        end
        c = ""
      end

Lastly search for:
def update_cursor_rect

Replace that block of code with this:
  def update_cursor_rect
    if @index >= 0
      n = $game_temp.choice_start + @index
      x = 8 + @indent + @face_indent
      x += (@max_choice_x + 4) * (n - 1)
      y = $game_temp.choice_start * 21
      self.cursor_rect.set(x, y, @cursor_width, 18)
    else
      self.cursor_rect.empty
    end
  end

or
If you cant do this on your own then post your script. Also note, this works with my AMS so some of the numbers might need to be changed for yours.


Thanks for the QUICK response! :haha: I copied/pasted the AMS and worked on that copy to test this code but when i playtested this came up:


That line is just
class Window_Frame < Window_Base
so uh... iunno whats wrong[/i]

So I guess I'll paste the edited version of AMS i was using before:

Ok first of all I've already read this thread
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=12333.0
but as far as I know the poster didn't end up finding a solution, and posting there would be necroposting sooooo

All I want is to set a different (longer) height for Message Windows when a Show Text event command is accompanied by a Show Choices event command, so that THIS doesn't happen:


(that grey rectangle is the No button... hidden away)

Ideally the choice list would actually be horizontal but the only places I've found that being discussed are

https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/choice-window-edit.16160/
and
http://save-point.org/printthread.php?tid=5095

and i have no idea how to implement either of the solutions these people provided...

***I have Dubleax's Advanced Messaging System script installed, with just cosmetic changes (windowskin, no opacity stuff or fading, custom window size and position)


The stupidly simple event that this problem affects.

Thanks in advance, i owe you my frikin' life if you can riddle me this
