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

[BoluBolu]

Well the problem is,I put that string in a variable, so for example that "BLIZZARD ADVENTURE" iti s stored in variable, then I want to display it vertically in window, it's not a message text, just display it in a window, and yes I need to find something like you said miko, and I have frantically search it and no clue I got.
But don't worry I have solve this problem .
Thanks all for the helps . Peace..
Perhaps if you want to see the result(but I do this with a code that I think not very efficient and look bad). But it's fine.

No, I'm not saying to change it. I'm saying to look and see how it does it, and then write a new script to do the same, but vertically instead, for any windows where you want the text shown vertically.

Oh my goodness, so that's what you meant, Yeah.. why I didn't figure that.. sigh stupid of me.. Thanks shaz,

Well while i figure out how to make that method, may I ask another question? This one also get me frustrated. Well the window have method self.openness, Then how can I make it open up but animated, err.. I mean at first I set the self.openness at 25, then I want it to fully open at the moment it shown, BUT not in a flash, open like it stretch slowly until fully opened, perhaps need 3 or 4 seconds. Sorry if this a lot more silly than the earlier question, but my curiousity instinct is to high and I can't resist it.

Thanks again everyone .Peace.

That would be a new script request, not a question that doesn't deserve its own thread.


I'm sure there are scripts out there that do similar things.

 

[BoluBolu]

Is that so? I don't ask any script, I just ask how I can make it open slowly, isn't there a simple code to do this(but I can't figure it out).. That's probably something to troublesome if just making a certain window to fully opened slowly, then a full script is needed right? I know it got something to do with the self.openness method.

But it's okay forget about it, I know this gonna be a silly question, sorry shaz.
Thanks anyway. Peace..

I do think it entails modifying the initialize/update method of the window or the start/update method of the scene...

 

[BoluBolu]

Thanks miko I don't know if shaz will continue scold me if I keep discussing this matter
But here some code I use and doesn't work, I place it in scene  method start and also I tried it in initialize Window class both no work.. 

@window_type3.openness += 0.0001 until @window_type3.openness = 255I think it got something to do with the calculation or the system is to fast to do the += 0.0001, because when I tried this code

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

I do think the game will still process that almost instantaneously... you'd probably need to add a wait of some sorts... that or it's possible that the openness is already 255

 

[BoluBolu]

Ah I have solve this matter, thanks for the advice miko, Haha i've got to run from here before shaz get here *run*

 

[Shaz]

No, that won't work. Because you're telling it to keep updating the openness until it reaches a certain amount, but you're not telling it to draw or update anything else. So it's just going to go from whatever it currently is to 255 in .0001 increments (how long did that take before it let you do anything?) and then just do what it would have done anyway.


I'm telling you to start a new thread asking about it BECAUSE it's not a simple question with a simple answer. The number of posts you've already taken up without getting any closer to a solution should be enough proof for you. So if you want help, start a new thread please.

 

[BoluBolu]

Ah! shaz gonna eat me! I've got to run now.. Haha just kidding.
Alright2 shaz, I'm sorry don't be mad, I don't know in the first place that my question will be a complicated question, besides I have said sorry.. 
So please forgive me okay?
Anyway I have already solved that issue, so we can all forget about that question..

Hey there.
Been having some problems with my attempt at a script - I can't even test it.

I get an error message, "NoMethodError". it claims that it can't find method `extra_turn?' on "Scene_Battle:Class".
The problem is, I made this method. In fact, I made it just because I got the same eror when calling for the extra_turn variable instead.

Is it related to my changes being in the Game_Party class? Am I calling the variable/method wrong?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

you should add the method extra_turn inside scene_battle because that's where it's trying to find it...

 

[YoraeRasante]

Yeah, the problem is, it's already there...

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

can you post the actual code? coz there surely is a problem somewhere... without the script itself, we cannot really tell you what's wrong... either you placed it wrong, called it wrong or written it wrong

though better put it in a new thread.  It is a new script that ur trying to make so it's definitely not a question that doesn't deserve it's own thread...

 

[YoraeRasante]

class Game_Troop < Game_Unit def agi_max members.each do |enemy| next unless enemy.alive? agi = enemy.agi if (enemy.agi >= agi) end return agi endendclass Game_Party < Game_Unit def battle_members all_members[0, max_battle_members].select {|actor| (actor.exist? && (!Scene_Battle.extra_turn? || actor.agi >= Game_Troop.agi_max*2)) } endendclass Scene_Battle < Scene_Base attr_accessor :extra_turn def extra_turn? @extra_turn endendthere is more to the code, but I made a topic about it.

Pretty sure many of my problems may be related to this one, really...

 

[??????]

probably best to make a topic

 

[YoraeRasante]

I have a topic for the whole script, but guessed that whatever this was it was just a small thing I may have done wrong...

[Masochistic-Bipper]

Hey, well, I guess it's no harm in putting this here...

Is it possible to have a word-input? Like... not a name input, but an input area such as... a journal area where a player could jot down important notes? The only thing I saw was an RGSS2 script.

Xexkra, your question goes in the RGSS3 Script Requests forum. Waterguy, your question belongs in its own thread. If you're writing a script, stick with a single thread rather than posting questions about it in other locations.
