A way to refresh the screen without transfer or going into the menu scene.

[MHRob]

Hello. I decided to make this topic since it's been killing me that I have been unable to figure something out. Alright, so basically, my project's main weapons consist of fire arms (It's an ABS) and the weapons are displayed on the map instead of invisible like it normally is by default, near the characters hands. I noticed when I try to swap from one weapon to another without going into the menu, the graphic on the map never changes to reflect that weapon change. I've noticed this is pretty much the same for anything else out there whether it be via a script or through eventing that the graphic just doesn't change, but if you go into the menu, the weapon has clearly been changed into whatever it is you were swapping with and only updates the graphic to reflect that change either via going into the menu scene or transferring. 

My question is, is there a way either via eventing or using a script call that can force a graphic to update itself properly instead of depending on transfer or scene changes to update the graphic? I would seriously appreciate the help.

I've tried this "Graphics.update" thing but it doesn't do what I was hoping it would do.

SceneManager.scene.refresh_characters

Might work, but it's not the proper way to do it.

It gave me a game crashing error. Thanks for trying, though.

Oh, right

SceneManager.scene.instance_variable_get(:@spriteset).refresh_characters

If this is a script call you might need to break it down like this

s =SceneManager.sceneo = s.instance_variable_get(:@spriteset)o.refresh_characters

None of it seemed to work for me, for whatever reason. However, using that as some sort of clue via using the word "spriteset" as a keyword via ctrl+F (Search) there was something else I found in one of the main scripts that I use that has an odd behavior from within the script, but using it via eventing, seems to make it work brilliantly, and i'm not even sure if it's a regular script call.

SceneManager.scene.spriteset.refresh!Now my character changes his weapon with refreshed graphics matching the equipped weapon. I'm not exactly sure what makes it so special, but this one works.

Thank you very much for the help, Hime! You gave me a good lead to find what I needed to find.

The reason is that any ABS script has to make big changes to how the engine works - and the different ABS scripts make different changes, so one bugfix usually only works on one of the ABS, not all of them.
And you never said which ABS you are using...


If you have other problems with it, please remember to link to the ABS you're using, because a lot of errors can't be identified without that info.

Good to know, thanks. 

As for the ABS. It's a modified version of this: http://arenalivre.net/index.php?topic=17607.0
