Extend Battle Commands Window?

[ShinyRedUmbreon]

If you happen to have more than 4 commands at a time, then this will happen:

However, I was wondering if I could extend the window, to be able to show all the commands at once. Like, make the window taller. How could I achieve this? I'm guessing it has something to do with Scene_Battle or Window_BattleActor.

"RGSS3 Scripts" is for completed scripts that you have made. This belongs in either Script Requests or Learning RGSS.

I'm making the call and moving it to Learning RGSS for now, since I believe members will easily be able to show you how to resize these command windows yourself.

If you want it moved to Script Requests instead, just report your own post and let us know.

Bump.

Battle Windows are tied in info_viewport inside Scene_Battle
The info_viewport is hardcoded to be placed below using this following code

  def create_info_viewport
    @info_viewport = Viewport.new
    @info_viewport.rect.y = Graphics.height - @status_window.height
    @info_viewport.rect.height = @status_window.height
    @info_viewport.z = 100
    @info_viewport.ox = 64
    @status_window.viewport = @info_viewport
  end

The Y-axis is equal as your game window's height minus status window height
Which mean, if you shift the Y-axis of the Battle Windows (party command, actor command, status window), it will get cut
To solve this problem, you have to manually override how it works, such as editing the Y-axis of the viewport to prevent the cut.
Oh, don't forget to change the height as well.

Now to solve the actor command window height
Just go to Window_ActorCommand, and change "visible_line_number" into something else

I'm pretty sure the op wants something like this.

and have it adjust if there are more commands.

Unfortunately without a script to make this adjustment, I'm pretty sure all you can get is this..

Uhh, the horrible scripter that I am, got this:
What's best to do next? I don't really know how to edit the y-axis of the viewport.

See, that is exactly what I'm saying.

What's best to do next? I don't really know how to edit the y-axis of the viewport.

You just need to change these lines

   @info_viewport.rect.y = Graphics.height - @status_window.height # <-- This is Y
   @info_viewport.rect.height = @status_window.height # <-- This is the viewport height

Into something like

   @info_viewport.rect.y = Graphics.height - @status_window.height + 24 # <-- This is Y
   @info_viewport.rect.height = @status_window.height + 24 # <-- This is the viewport height

However, the result is going to be like roninator2's second pic.
You just need to readjust the Y position of the battle status and the party command, so that it will look like roninator2's first pic.

I actually didn't do it, that was a photoshop.

But I did get it to work. Took a fair bit of playtesting.
Basically your adjusting the viewport to be up higher, making it bigger and then moving down all the windows that need to be lower.

I adjusted the lines line Theo said (almost (minus not plus for the first one)) and added in 3 other lines.
An extra line in create status window -> .y += 24
An extra line in create party command window -> .y += 24
An extra line in create enemy window -> .y += 24

Doesn't matter, it represents the result.

Okay, I did what you two did, and it took a bit of trial and error, but soon I found this:
I removed my party command, so I didn't have to worry about that. The enemy target window also worked well!
Thank you guys for helping me fix this problem!
