Alias help

[gerrtunk]

Im doing two things:

-Rewrite of entire method: Just write all the code again.
-To add something to a method: Alias the method and then call it before add nothing

Then, when you have to use the alias? is better than a rewrite? why?

In general, you use alias if you want to add something to an already existing method, but don't want to edit the script that
method's in.

I'm not sure what you mean with this:

-To add something to a method: Alias the method and then call it before add nothing

but basicly alias works like this:
[rgss]class Something
 def initialize
  do_something
 end
end
 
 
class Something
 
alias new_initialize initialize
 
 def initialize
  new_initialize
  do_some_more
 end
end
 
[/rgss]

The script will first execute "do_something", and then "do_some_more"

If you'd post what you are trying to do, I could offer better help
