Hey guys so - someone made me this costum message system
It works fine and all but i want to change a little something about it
the color of the text that appears in the \nm window is now allways green
id like it to have a different color depending on an in game variavle
for example var.3 "text color" is it on 0 its white , is it on 5 its purple or what ever
Could one of you show me how to do that ?

Please help :S
Just wondering, but you know that you can already change the color by default? By using \C
Either way, here's what you wanted lol
Under:
you should see
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
replace that with this:
case $game_variables[xx]
when 0 # White
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(255,255,255)
when 1 # Red
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(255,0,0)
when 2 # Green
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0,255,0)
when 3 # Blue
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0,0,255)
when 4 # Purple
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(125,0,255)
when 5 # Black
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0,0,0)
else
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
end
Make sure to change the $game_variables[xx] to whichever variable you use
\nm is the Name Window I take it. Because that makes sense when you look down at it:
class Window_Name < Window_Base
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Object Initialization
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize(x,y,width,height,text)
super(x, y, width, height)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
self.z = 9998
refresh(text)
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Refresh
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def refresh(text)
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0,128,64) #<===================== That looks pretty green to me
self.contents.draw_text(4, -2, 226, 24, text, 0)
end
end
That's where your fix should go Zexion. Using \C in the message box itself wouldn't affect the name color at all.
