Adding SV Actor to Window (MV)

[sdohda]

Hey guys,

So I've been studying JS for the past month and started creating my own menu. So far I've been able to read through MV's .js files, and other developers, and have a good enough understanding to manipulate the menus without a problem. I understand this means I don't know anything, but it seems like a good way to get familiar with the functions. I'm trying to figure out how to get a SV Actor to display in a custom window on my menu.

I've disabled all plugins for testing. I've been trying to use ImageManager.loadSvActor within the refresh function of my custom window, with no such luck. I'm proficient in a few coding languages, but I can't figure this out.

Any information is helpful, I'm not looking for something to write the whole thing for me. I appreciate it!

One thing I'd say is load the SV actor earlier; you don't want to load the actor in refresh since it's calked every frame.

Also, see what the output of loadSVActor is (might be a bitmap?) If that's the case there are two ways to display it using sprites or using the blt method to draw the SV actor to the window.

I appreciate the reply! Yes, I tried to set a var for ImageManager.loadSvActor and then call it in the blt. But yes that is definitely an idea, I will try that. Thank you!

Yes, I believe so, Victor. I'm ultimately trying to make a single user interface, where the status menu wouldn't be a selectable command, but would rather be displayed next to the Window_MenuStatus. So I'm trying to draw the SV actor in that new window, and keep the original selectable portrait. I think I may be able to do that with your plugin, thank you.
