Please Help, drawcharacter not working as it should.

[ougitou1]

Ok ive been stuck for a while now and ive just now thought of a solution. Naturaly since my code doesnt work as intended the problem must be on my side hence why im here. I need your collective help to recreate a small section of the code.

It should be simple enough. A window with 3 selectable panels much like on the default save file screen however in a horizontal manner, and now for the important part; in any one of those panels 'draw' a character. (using drawCharacter from window base i presume.)

Simple right?

Anyway, by comparing i'll be able to see if and where there are errors in my script.
thanks you for your help and patience.

ok the thing is, drawcharacter doesn't seem to work, but if i go back a scene then return it works, but never on the first time.

attached is my code its terrible and probably unreadable tho, sorry....

@ougitou1 The way you're wording this, it sounds more like a request. You're better off posting your code for others to review. Or at least the part you think is going wrong.

 

[Shaz]

Could you please edit your post and change the title to state what it is you need help with? Everyone who posts a thread here "needs help" - it's nice to know, before going into the thread, what it's about, as people can save their time if they know they can't assist.

 

[ougitou1]

Ah... ok ill edit the title @Shaz. I'm not really sure how to tho...
@taarna23 The code is beta so its all jumbled and confusing, almost like a piece of the matrix.

 

[Shaz]

If you edit your first post, then click Use Full Editor, it will let you change the title (and tags, should you ever need to do that).

 

[ougitou1]

oh ok. thankx for the info.

 

[ougitou1]

Good news, i have found a solution and it turns out that my way of implementing rows and columns in a window was wrong, not only was it wrong it was bad. ugh... so bad turns out i still have a lot to learn. Feel free to close. Toodles~

 

[Shaz]

to have a thread closed, you need to report your first post and request it to be closed.
