Calling Window Command

[brainstorm]

Okay I was calling Window Command and no error comes up but there's like 3 Window_Commands.... and when the scene is disposed at least one or two just stay there for about 10 seconds...

This is how I call the window:

        s = $data_minigames.minigames.names
        @windowcommand_window = Window_Command.new(640, s)#[s1,s2,s3]
        @windowcommand_window.back_opacity = 160
        @windowcommand_window.y = 288
        @windowcommand_window.z = 6001

$data_minigames.minigames.names is a hash...



Can someone please help me? The Command Names I need are in that hash...... But I don't want to call them one by one.

I can't help you with the dispose part, unless you posted the full code.
and about the hash, try this:

@windowcommand_window = Window_Command.new(640, s.values)

The problems still there... both of them...

Thanks Though..

You aren't disposing your windows properly.

Post the entire code, or we can't tell what you are doing.

The Calling Process:

@windowcommand_window.dispose
      @windowcommand_window = nil
      @help_window.dispose
      @help_window = nil
      # Make command window
      for i in 0...$data_minigames.minigames.names.size
        s = $data_minigames.minigames.names
        @windowcommand_window = Window_Command.new(640, s.values)#[s1,s2,s3]
        @windowcommand_window.back_opacity = 160
        @windowcommand_window.y = 288
        @windowcommand_window.z = 6001
      end
      @help_window = Window_Help.new
      @help_window.set_text("Which Minigame would you like to play?")
      @help_window.z = 6001

Data minigames:

class Data_Minigames
  attr_reader   :minigames
  def initialize
    @minigames = Game_Minigames.new
  end
end
class Game_Minigames
  attr_accessor :names
  attr_accessor :cost
  attr_accessor :points
  attr_accessor :bought
  attr_accessor :map
  def initialize
    @names = Hash.new("")
    @cost = Hash.new(0)
    @points = Hash.new(0)
    @bought = Hash.new(false)
    @map = Hash.new(0)
    #===========================================================================
    # * Minigame 00
    #===========================================================================
    @names[0] = "Path Less Traveled"
    @cost[0] = 20
    @points[0] = 50
    @bought[0] = true
    @map[0] = [1, 9, 14]
    #===========================================================================
    # * Minigame 01
    #===========================================================================
    @names[1] = "Mirror Walk"
    @cost[1] = 20
    @points[1] = 20
    @bought[1] = true
    @map[1] = [2, 9, 6]
    #===========================================================================
    # * Minigame 02
    #===========================================================================
    @names[2] = "Fire Gatherer"
    @cost[2] = 20
    @points[2] = 30
    @bought[2] = true
    @map[2] = [3, 11, 14]
  end
end

Disposing Process:

@help_window.dispose
    @windowcommand_window.dispose

I think the problem is calling the window...

I see what you are doing.

You are creating multiple objects, but using the same instance to refrence the objects (they stay on screen for x frames until the GarbageCollect module disposes them from the memory).

You really need to rethink what it is you are doing. It seems to me you are putting too much effort into something less complicated then you are making it.

If you want to do it that way, you can create an array of @command_windows and just push new windows everytime, but I don't recommend this because, keys and value pairs are stored randomly with no order. Trying this will virtually leave you not being able to refrence your command windows within your @command_windows array (as they will just be added randomly).

Try telling me exactly what it is you are trying to pull off. Maybe make a mock up, and I will work with you on the best solution for this.

Well this isn't a mockup, but what is actually happening:

As you can see the cursors and text are overlapping.

The Command Window that needs fixing is the one at the bottom.

YES!!! I figured it out.... I just had to delete the for i in script in the Calling Process script I posted... Thanks...

What is the purpose of the Data_Minigames class? You could just make a global instance of Game_Minigames instead.
