Pretty nice script. I want to use it but I have to ask some questions before:

- How can I make the Var_Suffix not appear in blue?
- Is there a way to display an icon before Var_Prefix? I tried to insert \i[...] and \\I[...] but both ways didn't work.
- Can "0 .pt" be displayed on the left side or centered instead of right side?

can I make the Var_Suffix not appear in blue?

Put in a change color, or move the normal_color up one line. (line 67)

Is there a way to display an icon before Var_Prefix

draw_icon(icon_index, 110, Line_height - 5) # change icon_index

Can "0 .pt" be displayed on the left side

Prico::Var_Suffix,2
change the 2. other options are 0 and 1. I believe 0 is left.

@Roninator2: I managed to get the left side display but I have no idea on where to write the draw_icon and how to add the change color.

 

[Roninator2]

add the change color.

If you changed the left side display then you should have seen normal_color. Change the order... code is run from top to bottom. If change color is above the text you want to display, then the text will be the color you set.

no idea on where to write the draw_icon

I haven't been talking about multiple methods, and this script is pretty small.
You're changing info inside the window. There's initialize, refresh and update. All of the display stuff is in refresh, so...

@Roninator2: Thanks.

One more question: Is there an ability to have a pop-up-window in certain situations on either side of the screen just like when you want to visit an Inn? Example:

Bump!

This script is an add-on for ぷり娘 (prico) RGSS3 Variable Display Window. It
makes it so that you can open the variable window in the message window.

Use the following code in your message to open the variable window:
  \VW

=end

class Window_Message < Window_Base

  alias amn_prico_windmsg_createallwinds create_all_windows
  def create_all_windows
    amn_prico_windmsg_createallwinds
    @var_window = Window_Var.new
    @var_window.x = Graphics.width - @var_window.width
    @var_window.y = 0
    @var_window.openness = 0
  end
  
  alias amn_prico_windmsg_disposeallwinds  dispose_all_windows
  def dispose_all_windows
    @var_window.dispose
  end

  alias amn_prico_windmsg_updateallwinds  update_all_windows
  def update_all_windows
    amn_prico_windmsg_updateallwinds
    @var_window.update
    update_var_wind_pos
  end

  def update_var_wind_pos
    @var_window.y = case @gold_window.y
    when 0 then @gold_window.y + @gold_window.height
    else Graphics.height - (@gold_window.y + @gold_window.height)
    end
    @var_window.y = @gold_window.y unless @gold_window.open?
  end
  
  # OVERWRITE
  def fiber_main
    $game_message.visible = true
    update_background
    update_placement
    loop do
      process_all_text if $game_message.has_text?
      process_input
      $game_message.clear
      @gold_window.close
      @var_window.close
      Fiber.yield
      break unless text_continue?
    end
    close_and_wait
    $game_message.visible = false
    @fiber = nil
  end

  alias amn_prico_windmsg_processescchar process_escape_character
  def process_escape_character(code, text, pos)
    case code.upcase
    when 'VW'
      @var_window.open
    else
      amn_prico_windmsg_processescchar(code, text, pos)
    end
  end

end

@Tw0Face Next time you want an edit to a script, it would be better to start a thread in Script Requests, particularly in cases such as this where the OP did not write the script themselves, but translated it for our convenience.

@A-Moonless-Night: This works like a charm. Thanks a lot.

@Kes: Ok, I will remember that.
