Help with Simple Menu/Window Edit [Ace]

[poundcakery]

Hi all!

I hope this is in the right place, feel free to move it if it isn't

I'm trying to customize a specific part of my menu, but I have a very limited knowledge of scripting -- I can read and understand scripts alright, but struggle with scripting my own things. 

Anyway, the part of the menu I would like to customize is the screen that pops up when you select an item and are choosing which actor to give it to. (I've included a screenshot as an example). I would prefer for that screen to not display the stamina, mp/tp  bars, class, or level, since I don't use those in my game -- in other words, for the menu to just display the actor graphic and name. I only have one actor as well - you never get followers - so the menu itself doesn't need to be quite so large, but I'm pretty sure I can figure that out myself. It would be nice, as well, if the name displayed a bit larger. I've included a (very poorly edited, no judgement plz) screenshot of how I'd prefer the window to look.

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it. I'm hoping this is a simple edit, since for the most part I just want to take out existing data and resize a few things. Thank you in advance!

I am working on doing what you would like. I will get back to you real soon

EDIT: Could you post your demo so i could just do it all in one and make both of are lives easier?

*An issue I'm curious about is, if you only have the actor name with the actor graphic when using the item on your actor, how would you know it would be used? Since there is no type of stats or anything to show changes. Your relying on sound for the most part to hear if it worked or not. You understand this right?

hytporsche, thank you so much!

my demo is so so so scattered right now that i'm too embarrassed to post it... if you absolutely need it i'll post it -- maybe send you the link via PM or something? there's just no way i want the whole internet to see how bad it is right now hahaha

yes, i was intending to rely on sound! i do have a stamina variable/HUD separate from the stamina in the database, and so items would be either affecting that stamina variable or calling a common event so you'd know immediately via HUD/common event that you had consumed something.

Yes, I am going to need your demo. I have already done what is needed to be done in a new project to replicate what you are wanting, but.. I can't explain what needs to be done, due to your "limited" knowledge on the scripts. So, I can do it all for you and then explain what was done and how you can change it if you ever need to go back to it

*Send the download link via PM.

Ohh okay, cool! Glad we go the sound factor out of the way.

Do you want that stuff shown in the main menu? If not, I JUST gave someone a solution to this yesterday or the day before.

Nope! I have no need for those stats or anything of the sort. I have a custom menu script so the stats screen doesn't show up... I'm interested to hear your solution

This might be useful to you. It stops the methods that are used to print HP/MP/Stats/level from actually printing anything. And it's only a change to a single script.

Ohhh... I did not know that. Just like Shaz said, you can just comment them out and that will work perfect for you. But, I have adjusted the name and window when selecting the actor the way you wanted. As i'm assuming you still want that?
