    Creating your own Window.

    to create a simple window, you need to have this:
    Code: 
    class My_Window < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(80,80,480,320)
  end
end
    this is a standart window.
    now for explaining the lines

    Code: 
    class My_Window < Window_Base
    make the window to be come a part of Window_Base.

    Code: 
    def initialize
    initializes the window.

    Code: 
    super(80,80,480,320)
    this creates the window
    x, 80
    y, 80
    width, 480
    height, 320.

    this is a empty window.
    let's put some text in it.
    Code: 
    class My_Window < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(80,80,480,320)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.contents.font.name = $fontface
    self.contents.font.size = $fontsize
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    refresh
  end #method
  def refresh
    self.contents.draw_text(4,4,120,32,"Look! Text")
  end #method
end #class
    now for explaining the new lines:

    Code: 
    self.contents = bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    this needs to be in every def initialize.
    without this, text wouldn't appear.

    Code: 
    self.contents.font.name = $fontface
    this "grabs" the font.

    Code: 
    self.contents.font.size = $fontsize
    this is the size of the font.

    Code: 
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    this is the color of the text that will be displayed

    Code: 
    refresh
    this means it goes to the method "refresh".

    Code: 
    def refresh
    this is a method, which is called by "refresh"

    Code: 
    self.contents.draw_text(4,4,120,32,"Look! Text")
    this draws the text on screen. at (4,4,120,32)

    This is a small window, with text.
    which is boring
    so, let's display the hero graphic.
    Code: 
    class My_Window < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(80,80,480,320)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.contents.font.name = $fontface
    self.contents.font.size = $fontsize
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    refresh
  end #method
  def refresh
    self.contents.draw_text(4,4,120,32,"Look! Text")
    
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      x = i * 32 + 4
      y = 32
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      draw_actor_graphic(actor,x)
    end #for
  end #method
end #class

    Code: 
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
    this puts the number of hero's in the letter "i"

    Code: 
    x = i * 32 + 16
    this is the x coordinate.
    i is the number of hero's that will multiply with 32, and then + 16.
    the higher the 32, the more space between the actors.

    Code: 
    y = 96
    this is the y coordinate of the actor.

    Code: 
    actor = $game_party.actors[i]
    this sets actor equal to $game_party.actors
    which are the "heros" in the game.

    to call this Window, put the following in a call script:
    Code: 
    My_Window.new
    this is it.
    now you guys can start working on your own trainercard.
    which is basicly the way.
     
    Although, I know most of it, it is a perfect tutorial for beginners. You make life easier for beginners... Good Job!

    Where do you type the code?
     
    yes, all this RGSS will be used in the RGSS Editor

    Actually, virtual said to place it in window_base.
    Click to expand...
    not really.
    i said something similiar to this:
    your window is a sub-class of window_base.
    you need to paste the code in a new script:
    right-click on main and insert
     
    OoOh. Sorry. I re=read it and you said to make the window to become part of window_base. Okay. I understand this now.

    lol, so uh, how do i get this window to come up? :oops:
    Click to expand...
    in a call script do:
    @window = My_Window.new

    to change the x & y
    @window.x = 20
    @window.y = 20

    to erase it:
    @window.dispose

    to update it:
    @window.update
     
    oh man i am sch a n00b, i still dont get it... i just wanna make it so in my menu, when i go to POK?NAV, it brings up this window?
