Create Two Instances of Window Status Menu

[deykuzor]

I want to create two instances of Status Menu that would both operate on the same inputs, but take two different constructors. One would be used like most bust menu versions of a Main Menu, and the other would operate like a normal list of the party members, without the faces. I've somehow managed to make this (see attached) but I can't get the list view to display more entries, and iterating through $gameParty.members only displays the last party member, rather than the first. I'm aiming for something akin to the image labeled menumockup.png. The list in that mockup does not include meters mostly because I hadn't decided to include them yet. Please assume that I want the meters in the list window.

this is what I have relating to that window:

var _Scene_Menu_create = Scene_Menu.prototype.create;
Scene_Menu.prototype.create = function() {
_Scene_Menu_create.call(this);
this.createMeterWindow(this._statusWindow);
this.createListWindow(this._statusWindow1);
this._statusWindow.x = eval(bwX);
this._statusWindow.y = eval(bwY);
this._commandWindow.x = eval(comX);
this._commandWindow.y = eval(comY);
this._goldWindow.x = eval(goldX);
this._goldWindow.y = eval(goldY);
this._hpWindow.x = eval(hpX);
this._hpWindow.y = eval(hpY);
};

Scene_Menu.prototype.createListWindow = function(window) {

this._statusWindow1 = new Window_Party_List(0, 0, window);
this._statusWindow1.x = 420;
this._statusWindow1.y = 140;
this.addWindow(this._statusWindow1);
};

//=============================================================================
// Window_Party_List
//=============================================================================

function Window_Party_List() {
this.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
}


Window_Party_List.prototype = Object.create(Window_Base.prototype);
Window_Party_List.prototype.constructor = Window_Party_List;
Window_Party_List.prototype.initialize = function(x, y) {
var width = this.windowWidth();
var height = this.windowHeight();
Window_Base.prototype.initialize.call(this, x, y, width, height);
this._index = 0;
this._name = '';
this._actor = $gameParty.members()[this._index];
this._isWindow = false;
this.refresh();
};


Window_Party_List.prototype.windowWidth = function() {
return 379;
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.windowHeight = function() {
return this.itemHeight() * 5.6;
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() {
return Math.min($gameParty.maxItems(), sumListRows);
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.maxCols = function() {
return sumListColumns;
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.itemHeight = function() {
return sumItemHeight;
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.itemWidth = function() {
return sumItemWidth;
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.drawItem = function(index) {
this.drawItemBackground(index);
this.drawItemStatus(index);
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.drawItemStatus = function(index) {
var actor = $gameParty.members()[index];
var rect = this.itemRect(index);
var width = (rect.width / 3) - 20;
this.drawActorName(actor, rect.x + 10, rect.y, width);
this.drawActorHp(actor, rect.x + width + 30, rect.y, width);
this.drawActorMp(actor, rect.x + width * 2 + 50, rect.y, width);
};
Window_Party_List.prototype.refresh = function() {
var x = this.textPadding();
var y = 0;
var width = this.contents.width - this.textPadding() * 2;
var meterWidth = 20;
var actor = $gameParty.members()[this._index];
this._name = actor.name();
this.contents.clear();
this.drawActorName(actor, x, y);
this.drawActorHp(actor, x + (meterWidth*9), y, (width/4.5));
var i = 2;
this.drawActorMp(actor, x + (meterWidth*13), y, (width/4.5));
i += 1;
};


admittedly, a lot of this is jerry-rigged from limited knowledge of Javascript, the kinoar github, and other plugin's changes to the status menu that accomplished similar things, so while I can kinda follow along with what I wrote, I'm not 100 percent sure what I wrote that's necessary, or was stuff that was superfluous to my goal here. Any variables or parameters that are used in whatever function, but I didn't seem to define were defined at the top of my javascript file, so don't worry about that.

I'm taking a guess here, but I think you need to set the maxItems in Window_Party_List .

DrawAllItems in Window_Selectable uses it to know how many times to iterate through index, but it is set as 0 by default in Window_Selectable.

Just need to pinch the function from Window_MenuStatus :

Window_Party_List .prototype.maxItems = function() {
return $gameParty.size();
}

Dunno how it will effect the rest of your code, but you could also make Window_Party_List from the Window_MenuStatus instead of Window_Base and that will pull all the functions from there into Window_Party_List

Window_Party_List.prototype = Object.create(Window_MenuStatus.prototype);
Window_Party_List.prototype.constructor = Window_Party_List;

Just thought, Window_Base probably won't work anyway. I imagine it needs to be Window_Selectable or better yet built from Window_MenuStatus for all of its functionality.

I really appreciate your responses as always. It's currently 1am in Japan so I'll have to try this tomorrow.
I DID try to use Window_MenuStatus before instead of Window_Base but i got a pagedown not found in Window_MenuStatus if I recall from my work a few hours ago....

I'll see if I can figure out a way to get Window_MenuStatus extended properly by my Window_Party_List first since you've recommended it, and then add a maxItems property to the prototype. I'll get back to you in about 7 or 8 hours with my results. Thanks again!

Window_Party_List.prototype = Object.create(Window_MenuStatus.prototype);
Window_Party_List.prototype.constructor = Window_Party_List;
Window_Party_List.prototype.initialize = function(x, y) {
var width = this.windowWidth();
var height = this.windowHeight();
var maxItems = this.maxItems();
Window_Selectable.prototype.initialize.call(this, 0, y, width, height);
this._index = 0;
this._name = '';
this._actor = $gameParty.members()[this._index];
this._isWindow = false;
this.refresh();
};

I GOT IT! Thank you so much! My problem with constructing form Window_MenuStatus was I blindly was initializing a Window_Base prototype instead of a Selectable prototype. I KNEW I was loading the wrong scene somehow.

I also added the maxItems function like you suggested, so, again, thank you so much!
