[MarioWidjaya123]

i have successfuly modifed the Window_Status Script to view the actor's current skill set.

end

i did made this all by myself WITHOUT any help in the forum.
i am SO proud of myself!



but... i can't figure out how to view the actor's NEXT skill.
here is an example of what im talking about.

if anyone can do this, let me know.

 

[KK20]

Here's a start in figuring out what you need to call.

next_skill = $data_classes[@actor.class_id].learnings.find { |learning| learning.level > @actor.level }
print "Your next skill will be #{$data_skills[next_skill.skill_id].name} learned at #{next_skill.level}."

I'm pretty sure XP does a good job with keeping the learnings array sorted by increasing level. Note that this also only returns one skill, should you happen to have more than one skill learned at the same level. In your snapshot, it didn't look like there was much room for more than 2.

 

[MarioWidjaya123]

@KK20 ok it worked, but i have to tweak this a bit.

self.contents.font.size = 20
    self.contents.font.name = "TF2 Build"
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    next_skill = $data_classes[@actor.class_id].learnings.find { |learning| learning.level > @actor.level }
    self.contents.draw_text(325, 350, 100, 100, "Next Skill", 0)
    self.contents.draw_text(445, 350, 100, 100, "LV #{next_skill.level}", 0)
    self.contents.font.name = "Times New Roman"
    self.contents.font.color = emptyskill_color
    self.contents.draw_text(325, 375, 100, 100, "#{$data_skills[next_skill.skill_id].name}", 0)

its very close to what i have imagined, the next skill is missing it's skill icon tho.

EDIT:
(umm... you're wrong KK20, it looks like there IS still room for this window from my edited snapshot.)

 

[KK20]

Don't you know how to do that already? It should be pretty similar to what you already accomplished with your "Skills" portion. Anyways, this is the bitmap you're going to be using:

bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon($data_skills[next_skill.skill_id].icon_name)

 

[MarioWidjaya123]

@KK20 ok NOW it has the icon. thanks.



and also i've encounter an error to this.
when an actor has learned all the skills...


it errors to this:

i had a failsafe where there are gray lines where an actor hasn't learned a skill yet.
i don't know how im gonna to the same thing on the next skill thing.

 

[KK20]

You can wrap all your drawing functions under a simple if-statement:

self.contents.draw_text(325, 350, 100, 100, "Next Skill", 0)
if next_skill
  self.contents.draw_text(445, 350, 100, 100, "LV #{next_skill.level}", 0)
  # ...and the rest of them
else
  # ...you can do "no more skills to be learned!" or something here
end

 

[MarioWidjaya123]

@KK20 it works now, but the sorting is wrong.

it views that Rowlet's next skill is Diarama at LV 24.


but Media unlocks at LV 11!
i think its sort by Skill ID and NOT Level Needed to Learn Skill.
can you like... make it sort it like that?

 

[KK20]

class_learnings = $data_classes[@actor.class_id].learnings.sort { |a,b| a.level <=> b.level }
next_skill = class_learnings.find { |learning| learning.level > @actor.level }

 

[MarioWidjaya123]

@KK20
SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO RESPOND, MY FAMILY AND I WENT ON A ROAD TRIP FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS

anyways... here is the results:


again. i am REALLY SORRY for not responding for about 4 days.
but im back home again btw!

 

[KK20]

Whoops, $data_classes

 

[MarioWidjaya123]

ok, now it works. thanks.
