@kk20 , I can give a copy to you and rate my game

I'll be leaving this forums because I'm sure I will be beasy playing pokemon Y.


thanks for all the help. Special thanks to KK20 who helped me a lot


I hope I can make another game soon with rmxp

up. still interested in this

That's perfect! #lvlup

so how can I add footsteps and gold?

I'll try to experiment later. but TIA if you answered again fast.

code:

Spoiler: ShowHide

for i in 0...@characters.size
        characters_name = @characters

• 
          width = self.contents.text_size(characters_name).width
          x = 0 * i + width
          self.contents.draw_text(x, 5, width, 32, characters_name)
        end

I used this code. It worked but it's getting the character's PNG file name.

code:

Spoiler: ShowHide

# draw character name
      actor = $game_party.actors
      draw_actor_name(actor, x, y - 72)

I added that code in window_savefile. It works when I'm saving but I got an error when loading. I'm guessing that when I play the game again, the character name isn't loaded yet.

Is there a script that can decorate your house?

I found one but the demo and script is not available anymore. Thanks for the replies

Up.

*changed the code

can someone please help me in making an option for timer. I want the timer to be customizable in color, font size and position.

I'm using Juan's option menu. if it can be on Juan's option menu, it will be better

Here's the code:

@KK20 - my brother suggested that when I read a book in a library, the icon of the book will change.

is that possible in script or event command?

I can't level up you now. I'll level you up later KK20. 

thanks for the trouble though. I'll just remove the timer and make it to view my points.

Also, I have some questions:
1.) Why did you rename the class Scene_Chest to Scene_Chest2?
2.) Do you really want the scene to close as soon as you borrow/return one book?
3.) When switching back to the map, do you want a transition in between (like the default fade-in/out)?

1. I'm playing with the script so I forgot to return it to normal
2. I don't really like to close it after borrowing or returning a book but when I don't close it, the player can borrow so many books. I'll pm you the link for my game. It's not updated much though.
3. Yes. I would really love to.

I'm not good at making scripts because I don't have much resources so I'm just editing scripts as best as I can

@DigitalSoul I'll try that in variables. but I'm not sure if I can do this  

I think using variables is easier than switch.

Edit: I don't have much time so I cant do this. 

I copied the script in sprite_timer and I will use that to view my variables. but I got a NoMethodError

    end

end

I used this script: $game_system.timer_working2     to view it. What's wrong with this?

ohh thanks. I thought of that too. that I will use so many switches for that. I will wai for the script

Silly me     thanks, it worked. is didn't use the "<>" thing

can i disable the actor's name first then enable it again later?

This is a perfect script for my game. but the name doesn't show up. The actor's name is showing but the event name isn't. I put a comment: Show Name on the event but still, it doesn't show its name. I'm using rpgmxp btw. thanks

EDIT: Is it possible to change the event name in auto run? I'm using one event but will change its graphics after they talk.

Forget the script for the above, I just wanted to know how to call timer in script? and how to dispose it. I copied the script in sprite_timer and it can view my variable.

I can't move if I will use the script above that's why I will use the method in timer. Thanks

can you make a full sample with that script please?

here's the picture, it's just edited though   



on the upper right, it's the timer, and beside the timer, thats the window that I wanted to show when the puzzle is on

Hi. I used a storage script of GameGuy. I edited it and made it a borrow and return of books in a library(library system for short).

1. I just want to ask if it is possible that if you read a book in a library, the name of that book in the library system will change its color?



If yes, please help me out, this is the code:

#===============================================================================
# Item Storage
# Author game_guy
# Version 1.42
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Intro:
# Okay. Well if you've played the Elder Scrolls Series or Fallout then you'd
# know that it has an item storage system. What it does is lets you open up
# closets, chests, ect and store and take items out of it.
#
# Features:
# Store and Take Items Out of Chests, Closets, ect
# Have Seperate Chests, Closets, ect
# Easy to Use
# Stores Chests into Game System Instead of Variables
# Have Max Amount of Items In Chest
# Set Default Items in Chest
# Mark Items as "Key Items" to prevent removal from inventory (e.g. "Quest Items")
# Take All/Store All Items in Chest (Not built into scene)
# 
# Instructions:
# First lets go over the syntaxes.
# 
# Calling the Item Storage:
# $scene = Scene_Chest.new(chest_id, max_items)
# chest_id is the number chest you want open
# max_items is the max amount of any item the chest can hold
# you can just use this to
# $scene = Scene_Chest.new(chest_id) 
# because in the config this ChestMaxItems is the default so if you dont use
# the long one, it'll use the default.
#
# New Syntaxes:
# You can now take all items from a chest and empty your entire inventory
# into a chest. While this isn't built into the scene, you'll have to do this
# through a script call.
# -Take All
#   chest = $game_system.chests(chest_id)
#   chest.take_all
# -Empty Inventory
#   chest = $game_system.chests(chest_id)
#   chest.empty_all
#
# You can now add/remove items to and from chests.
#   chest = $game_system.chests(chest_id)
#   chest.aaa_bbb(ccc, ddd)
#   aaa = add/take
#   bbb = item/weapon/armor
#   ccc = item/weapon/armor id
#   ddd = amount
#
# Okay so thats done with the syntaxes. Now onto the configuration.
# Go down to Begin Config and do all your configuration there.
#
