Ruby/RGSSx questions that don't deserve their own thread

Youre gonna place it on materials section too, just that the code needs to run somewhere else, like as posted above...

If you place a code outside of any method, that would run during set up before any other scripts start running, which was the cause of your problem...

 

What is it that you're actually trying to achieve? I get the feeling that you're just doing it in the wrong place - so rather than forcing a way to let you do it, it would be better to find out what you're actually trying to do (why are you setting a variable in script rather than in a startup event?) so you can do it the right way.

 

Script call for self switches is $game_self_switches[[map_id,id,"letter"]] = value. So, if I want to set all letter to false, I must write it 4 times (for A to D). Just wondering, is there a way to make this shorter without making a method inside Game_Interpreter class?

 

['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'].each do {|switch| $game_self_switches[[map_id, id, switch]] = false


Assuming you're replacing map_id and id with actual numbers, because they would not work in a script call. You'd have to use $game_map.map_id and @event_id for the "current" event.

 

Actually, he/she can use

['A','B','C','D'].each{|ss|$game_self_switches[[@map_id, @event_id, ss]]}if he/she wants it shorter

 

oh yeah, you don't need the "do" with {}, but other than that, what you put is exactly what I put, except you used ss instead of switch as the variable name. And you didn't assign it a value

 

Note the @map_id.

You noted that he/she can use $game_map.map_id, but Game_Interpreter has a public instance variable @map_id.

No need for $game_map.map_id

That's the reason why I posted, and not because of do and ss. And yeah, I forgot to add the initial value, oops

 

What am I doing wrong?

Problem:

Spoiler

class Game_Actor < Game_Battler #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * alias: initializes back variable #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- alias cdr_rows_initialize initialize def initialize(actor) cdr_rows_initialize(actor) if actor.back_row? @back = true else @back = false end end  

Error:

Spoiler

back_row definition:

Spoiler

#==============================================================================# ** RPG::BaseItem#==============================================================================class RPG::Actor #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * new method: check initial back row #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def back_row? return !(note =~ CDR_ROWS::REGEXP::BACK_ROW).nil? endend

CDR_ROWS::REGEXP::BACK_ROW = /<(?:back_row)>/i

Thanks guys

 

Question - How to get amount of party members?

For example - there are 2 actors in party > output 2; there are 5 actors in party > output 5

What I need that for? - setting dynamic window size based on current amount of party members.

IDK, something like $game.party_members.amount < translate that to Ruby language.

Thank you in advance.

 

@Rikifive

You were close

Code:

$game_party.members.size

 

Ahaha, thank you! xD

 

@Alyon

Because in the initialize, the actor is a parameter.

Try changing that to

Code:

def initialize(actor_id)

 

Ok it's working even if I don't actually understand why.

The more I think I'm starting to learn scripting, the more I lose hope on it! 

Cheers Mate 

 

Questions:


What is the script call to turn all switches and self switches in the game off?


Is it:

And then, what is the script call turn all variables in the game into 0?


is it:

I want to restart the whole game from the start when the game is ended without going to


menu screen, and I don't want to use New Game+ script (too confusing and I am not into


adding more scripts into script editor). That's why I ask these questions.


Thanks for at least reading~~!!

 

I've got another question:

Is it possible to extend "an ally(dead)" scope so that I can target a member in another state too? 

I'm doing a skill with wich a character may help the others while in danger. Right now he works as a simple revive skill, but I'd like to use it also for traps(like a character caught in a spider net or something).

I might use it in "an ally" scope but I don't like the idea to being able to select other members too.

I guess if it's not possible I will keep the "an_ally" scope but I'm really curious about it actually.

 

@metronome

I think it can be done like that.

But, if it does not work, paste the error here, and we may be able to help you

@Alyon

It CAN be done, but I think it is not in the scope of RGSSx Script Supporters.

Try posting this to RGSS3 Script Requests, because this script requires a bit more work than just a few lines of code (first some regexps, then Scene_Battle...)

That's just my opinion, maybe when you post there some moderator will redirect your post to this forum, and I'm sorry in that case.

(Sorry, moderators, if I led him to a wrong forum)

 

 Ok mate I'll try there. I thought it would have been easy actually. 

Thanks anyway

 

Question: Is it possible to make a condition, where game checks which window it is?

Example: Something like "if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_<Scene>)" but to not check the whole scene, but one window.

What I'm trying to achieve: I'm using MOG menu cursor and I would like to change its position when moving to actor selection window. In general - the cursor is on the left side ~ I want to move it to the right side when going to window, where I'm selecting actors (through 'formation' 'equip' etc. commands).

Thank you in advance.

 

It can't be really done that easy.

But it can be done like this :

Imagine you have a scene with @actor_window, @item_window, @skill_window, @some_window and @choice_window (just an example, no need for that much windows, though)

So, if you want to check is Actor Window active you do @actor_window.active

For Choice Window it would be @choice_window.active

There isn't really a variable of currently active window, because more windows at once can be active.

 

So.. for actor status window should I try something like this?

if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Menu) && if @actor_window.active < lol will this work? xD

cursor to the right

else

nope, stay on the left.

end

?



I tried

if SceneManager.scene_is?(Scene_Menu) if @actor_window # because .active caused crash. righty else lefty endelse also leftyendbut it didn't work. =P

So I think it's kinda impossible? =P
