Big hole in my array!

[Aran]

For some reason the add_pet method won't permanately add anything to the @data array.  why?  does it have a big hole in it or something?

#===============================================================================
# ** Game_Petition
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#===============================================================================
class Game_Petition
  
  def initialize
    @data = []
  end
  
  def add_pet(petner, gender, standpt)
    #petition = RPG::Petition.new
    #petition.name = petner
    #petition.gender = gender
    #petition.standpt = standpt
    #unless @data.include?(petner)
      @data.push(petner)
    #else
      #p "I've already signed your freakin' petition!"
    #end
    
  end
    
  def data
    return @data
  end
    
end

Why do you say its empty? I took the code you had right there and then had this right below the class definition. It works.

test = Game_Petition.new
test.add_pet('Monkey', 'Amazing', 'What?')
test.add_pet('Despain', 'Dude', 'Still no idea')
p test.data # ["Monkey", "Despain"]

Good luck with it Aran! :thumb:

By the way your sig is misspelled...

?? why couldn't i do that from an event?

HEY, WAIT!! NEW PROBLEM
I'm not tryin to spam the forums with multiple support topics

new code:

#===============================================================================
# ** Window_RandomName_Select
#===============================================================================
class Window_RandomName_Select < Window_Selectable
  
  def initalize(width,commands)
    super(0,0,width,640)
    @item_max = commands.size
    @commands = commands
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
    self.index = 0
  end
  
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    for i in 0...@item_max.size
      draw_item(i,normal_color)
    end
  end
  
   def draw_item(index, color)
    self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0, 0, 0, 255)
    rect = Rect.new(4, 32 * index, self.contents.width - 8, 32)
    self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[index])
  end
  
end


#===============================================================================
# ** Scene_RandomThing
#===============================================================================
class Scene_RandomThing
  
  def initialize(menu_index = 0)
    @menu_index = menu_index
  end
  
  def main
    ary = ["Bob","Jim","Sarah"]
    [b][color=red]@randselec_win = Window_RandomName_Select.new(160,ary)[/color][/b]
    @randselec_win.index = @menu_index
    Graphics.transition
    loop do
      Graphics.update
      Input.update
      update
      break if $scene != self
    end
    Graphics.freeze
    @randselec_win.dispose
  end
  
  def update
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      $scene = Scene_Map.new
    end
  end
  
end


#===============================================================================
# ** Game_Map
#===============================================================================
class Game_Map
  
  alias rand_upd update
  
  def update
    rand_upd
    if Input.trigger?(Input::L)
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
      $scene = Scene_RandomThing.new
    end
    #rand_upd
  end
  
end

I get this error when I hit [Q] in the game:

Script '** Random' line 43: ArgumentError occured.
wrong number of arguments(2 for 4)

I'm only supposed to be passing two arguments into it. ???

Ok, you made the second mistake I made when I first came to this forum and that is... I misspelled initialize and searched forever for an error of grammar.

def initalize(width,commands)

is supposed to be:

def initialize(width,commands)

The reason you get that can not convert 4 to 2 error is because there was no initialize so it defaulted to Window_Selectable.initialize which takes 4 parameters.

Next error. In the refresh of your Window_RandomName_Select you have:

for i in 0...@item_max.size

is supposed to be:

for i in 0...@item_max

@item_max is an integer its size is 4 byte size perhaps? Anyway its supposed to just be @item_max.

Next error. In the update of Scene_RandomThing you don't have an update call for your window. So it just remains stagnant. So pop in a @randselec_win.update somewhere in there.

Next error. Change "class Game_Map" to "class Scene_Map" please. Not really an error just for the sake of not doing odd things in the RGSS.

There are other things but I think you can figure it out by just walking through it.

Good luck with it Aran! :thumb:

wow!  thanx a whole lot khmp!  that was kinda embarassing on my part, but i needed it, i suppose =P. 

its slipped past me that .size returns an integer not an array.
