x-axis for Window_MenuActor?? Please Help!

[Pie4aPie]

Hello,


I have been trying to figure out why I can't move the "pop-up" select-able window in the Item scene. Finding it in the scripts is easy enough and changing the y-axis parameter has an effect, but the window is stuck on the right side of the scene no matter what I do. I feel like I have exhausted my personal search, so if anyone here know how I can achieve this, please help.


Below is where I am looking in the code. This is in rpg_windows.js. The highlighted line is what I think should allow this, but the 0 i believe is the x-axis parameter and nothing changes when I adjust it. I can't help but feel that there is something else telling this window to be at "GraphicsBox.width - this.actionWindow.width" (or something similar).





thanks,

I haven't tested this, but try going into rpg_scenes.js and find Scene_ItemBase.prototype.createActorWindow, and put this._actorWindow.x = whatever you want, after the window has been created.

When I edited the actor window in my game I changed this section of code.


Scene_ItemBase.prototype.showSubWindow = function(window) {
window.x = ( Graphics.width - window.width ) / 2 // EDIT: this.isCursorLeft() ? Graphics.boxWidth - window.width : 0;
window.y = (Graphics.height - window.height) / 2 // EDIT: added in
window.show();
window.activate();
};


and in the end this is my menu setup from all the changes. I hated how it looked with the larger resolution I was using, so I tweaked everything to pack in a lot better   At least using the above changes you can easily move your box around.

Thank you both so much for responding. I tried your idea Shaz. It makes logical sense because it appears to be the same window as what gets used on the main menu, and it definitely shares "simpleStatus" or whatever your custom layout might be. That x parameter did not let my move the pop-up.


Ahuramazda, that did the trick. Worked like a charm. I would have never considered looking for "SubWindow". I was starting from the command handler and working backwards trying to identify the window by the action that opens it. Didn't even look in Scene_ItemBase. This solves something I spent about 4 hours trying to figure out in a matter of seconds. Figuring it out on my own is half the fun though.


Thanks to you both again!!!

Yeah, it took me forever to figure out it was controlled by the sub window, and since I knew exactly what you were talking about I shared my research   lol


I know the pain of trial and error as I spent about 4-5 hours myself trying to find and move certain windows, and I still think that is the best method of learning code if you want it to really stick.
