updating item icon in Pokemon Storage

[Pokemon 3000]

hello everyone, yeah it's me again.

I'm updating the PokemonStorage-Script and I want to show the item icon next to the itemname. Again it works good, except one thin. When you switching the pokémon in the box, the item icon don't dispose before and the new icon is overlapping the old icon. I think I must put somewhere an .update or .dispose command, but I don't know where.

The icon is called by @sprites["icon"], if this would be a matter.

And what would be the best way to put a pokemon icon next to the pokemon name for the actual selected pokemon? I know this would be a little useless, because the storagebox already shows the icons of the stored pokemon, but I think also this would be nice anyway.

Try something like '@sprites["icon"].setBitmap(ICONPATH)' where ICONPATH is the icon path (the entire path). If you like to make this invisible just load a placeholder item and make this invisible.

It doesn't workin... Well, m problem is not that the icon doesn't appear, but the old icon doesn't dissapear, if the item icon is updating. It overlapping it instead.

Here's the the script, that shows the item icon:

    if pokemon.item>0
    @sprites["icon"].dispose if @sprites["icon"]
    filename=sprintf("Graphics/Icons/item%03d",pokemon.item)
    @sprites["icon"]=IconSprite.new(16,404,@viewport)
    @sprites["icon"].setBitmap(filename)
      itemname=PBItems.getName(pokemon.item)
    end

Edit: If I put " @sprites["icon"].dispose if @sprites["icon"]" before my code, the items don't overlapping anymore, but they still visible even if the user doesn't held a item.

Put an "else" in you 'if' with the line '@sprites["icon"].visible=false if @sprites["icon"]'

If I try this I get an error, when i switch to a pokémon that held a item.

Spoiler:

Exception: RGSSError
Message: disposed sprite

The changed line is

@sprites["icon"].dispose if @sprites["icon"] else @sprites["icon"].visible=false if @sprites["icon"]

I think I do it wrong. Sorry, I'm a little bit gawky.

Use @sprites["icon"].clearBitmaps instead. dispose is for deleting the variable, not getting rid of the picture in it.

Thank you Maruno, now it works.
