Transparent Target Name Window

[Kevin Eontrainer]

Hello everyone!


I don't know if this  requires a script but I think it does...


So  basically, I'd like to change the target name window to transparent, it does not disappear/removed and the enemy name is still there but the background window disappeared


(just like when we chose "Transparent" from the Show Text command)


As you can see in the image below, I'd like to make the blue colored window transparent, but the name "Xerneas" and the state icon stays there.


It would've been better if the window opactiy is adjustable so it is possible to just decrease the window opacity (blue color) instead of removing the window completely.





Thanks in advance!

That doesn't look like the default battle system.  What script are you using?  Please provide a link.


Also, Alt+PrintScreen will capture the active window for you - if you just use PrintScreen it gets your entire desktop, as you can see, and the window we're interested in is quite hard to see enough detail of.

I'm using Yanfly's Ace Battle Engine...

Alright I'll do Alt+PrtSc next time, thanks for the tip.


EDIT: Here's the cropped one

Find these lines in Yanfly's Battle Engine:


def create_help_window
@help_window = Window_BattleHelp.new
@help_window.hide
end


Just add this line after the @help_window.hide line:


@help_window.opacity = 0


And that should hide the window but not it's content.

@Sixth - that's what I was thinking.  Should there be a background_opacity in there somewhere as well?

The background_opacity only hides the windowskin's background, but the borders will stay there.


The opacity will hide every static things related to the windowskin (this includes the backgrounds and the borders), and keeps it's content and the non-static things needed for selectable window (like the cursor and arrow displays).


There is also a separate option to remove the arrow display only, but that is rarely used by anyone, because it's usefulness is very limited.


I think Kevin wanted to fully get rid of the window graphics, because that is how the default message window's "Transparent" option works, like he wrote, so simply adding that 1 line I wrote should work.

It worked nicely! 


But how if I want to make the opacity normal again for skills help window? I mean I just want the opacity to be 0 only when targeting... Is it possible to do that?
