RMMV Adding a Window from Scene A to Scene B? (SOLVED)

[bishiba]

As the title reads, I have made a Window for Scene A that I also want to use in Scene B. And I don't think it'd be efficient to have two separate window functions rather than having one functino that both scenes can call. How could this be done?

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Bishiba

I don't quite understand what it is you're asking. Are you asking how to change the windowskin graphic for different situations?

You would have to use a plugin for that. Galv's Message Styles can help with that.

Sorry if I am being unclear I have been in front of my screen from morning and been in front of code all day. Brain is a bit mushy...

No, it's not about the graphics. I want the below Window to be used by another Scene. The exact same Window. And I want to clarify that the below Window is one of 10 or so that I want to use in another Scene.

Window_ShopStatus.prototype.drawActorData = function() { //Draws the amount of status rectangles
    this.drawActorDisplayed(this._actor);
    this.drawDarkRectEntries(this._totalItemsParams);
    this.drawActorStatInfo(this._actor);
};

Edit:
After thinking about it for a bit, I guess I could do it like this:

Scene_Equip.prototype.createStatusWindow = function() {
    this._statusWindow = new Window_ShopStatus(0, this._helpWindow.height);
    this.addWindow(this._statusWindow);
};

Then I can just change the name of the window to Window_GenStatus :/

Unless there is a better way.

Window classes, e.g. Window_Base, are meant to be used to create new instances.
Window instances, e.g. new Window_Base(), are typically not shared between scenes.

I'm guessing this relates to your other recent thread here:

RMMV - How to get the "selected item" object into a Window object? (Window._item)

Been trying to figure this out now for some time, and so far I've been sliding along on stealing the this._item from other windows to make it work. But I really feel I am missing something important... I've gone over both Shop and Equip scene and I don't find anything that seems to get the...

Well it is highly related, but this question is a bit more stand alone as it was regarding reusing an entire scenes windows in another scene. I actually forgot about this one as I forgot to set it to being watched. Thought no answers had come. But I also realized quite quickly that it just uses a constructor. I think I was just waaay to tired tbh when asking this question
