Default windowskin for Location Signposts?

[PiaCRT]

Is there a way to set up a windowskin only for location signposts? I've got my code in PokemonField set up like this:

################################################################################
# Location signpost
################################################################################
class LocationWindow
  def initialize(name)
    @window=Window_AdvancedTextPokemon.new(name)
    #@window.resizeToFit(name,Graphics.width)
    @window.width=320
    @window.height=64
    @window.x=0
    @[email protected]
    @window.z=99999
    @currentmap=$game_map.map_id
    @frames=0
  end

  def disposed?
    @window.disposed?
  end

  def dispose
    @window.dispose
  end

  def update
    return if @window.disposed?
    @window.update
    if $game_temp.message_window_showing ||
       @currentmap!=$game_map.map_id
      @window.dispose
      return
    end
    if @frames>80
      @window.y-=288
      @window.dispose if @[email protected]<0
    else
      @window.y+=288 if @window.y<0
      @frames+=1
    end
  end
end

However, I have no idea how to set a specific windowskin for this window only. I have a skin called "showarea.png" If anyone knows how to do this please let me know! I took a look at the wiki and it only told me where to look to make changes to the Location Signpost.

Thanks for looking,

Can't you just use the event option "Change Windowskin..." before the text and afterwards change it back to the default? Or in the text itself, use this \w[X] where X is the name of the windowskin.png in the Windowskins folder or you can use \sign[X] where X is the name of the windowskin.png

It's a location signpost, which is defined by scripts, not events.

Sorry I don't have time to test or play around with it, considering i'm on my phone right now... But here's just a quick idea, hope it leads you in the right direction? I know this sets the window, text, etc. Or something like this haha

$SpeechFrames=[
  MessageConfig::TextSkinName,
  "windowskin"]

$TextFrames=[
  "Graphics/Windowskins/"+MessageConfig::ChoiceSkinName,
  "Graphics/Windowskins/skin"
]

$VersionStyles=[
  [MessageConfig::FontName],
  ["Power Red and Blue"]
]

end

Add @window.setSkin("Graphics/Windowskins/skin2") under @window.resizeToFit(name,Graphics.width)

Add @window.setSkin("Graphics/Windowskins/skin2") under @window.resizeToFit(name,Graphics.width)

Thanks, that did the trick. I just realized that I have to change the text shadow color as well, is there a similar method to do this? I knew it couldn't be this easy xD
