Good morning / Afternoon / evening , everyone.

I am in need of your assistance once again.

Target Arrow

This script allows you to create an icon to select targets... however... I do not like that the window on the top is so large and I would like the window to be smaller and have only for example just one line of text, and the status icons would be displayed on the side of the enemy battler's name (or the designations All Enemies, All Allies) etc.


Essencially...



here is my game project... I would like to reduce the window on the top to occupy only what's highlited in red, and the icons to show up on the side of the battler's name.

is this possible to achieve???

Any help is appreciated.

Did you get this adjusted? That window should be the help window and since it's two lines I would say you have something that is adjusting the size.
Look for that script and find the Window_Help section for the fitting_height(2)

Sorry for the late reply. I did that and it did wonders.

But... how do I now make it so the state icons show up on the left of the Enemy Battler's name?



when I add the state it does this... how do I make it so the icons show up on the left rather than doing this? That is the part i'm having trouble.

any help is appreciated

What do you have that is showing the states on the battlers. I don't recall if this is a default function.

Victor's Target Arrow script displays the enemy's states and buffs below their name on the top window when you select them... I think itbis somewhere from line 500 onwards... I tried tinkering it but to no effect. Any help is appreciated.

Try this. Since you make the window smaller it seems that the icons are not showing anymore.

class Window_Help < Window_Base
  def draw_target_icons
    icons = (@target.state_icons + @target.buff_icons)[0, contents_width / 24]
    x = @align == 0 ? 0 : (contents_width - icons.size * 24) / (3 - @align)
    icons.each_with_index {|n, i| draw_icon(n, x - 24 * i - 30, 0)}
  end
end

I played around a bit with your code and was able to position the icons, and the name too!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS no more pesky double windows!!!
