Closing windows after timer expires.

[Norton]

Hey guys, I feel like this should be easy to solve, but the solution is evading me. I want the message window and number input window to close (automatically) after the timer reaches 0. I don't know too much (or anything) regarding RGSS, but I expect it would have something to do with disposing those windows. (How to do that via Call, I have no idea.)

Help would be appreciated!

It would help if you gave us the context of this window object. Is it in a script? Are you calling it from an event? And what timer? We need more information.

It's just a normal input-number event. And the timer is the...timer is the normal event timer.

Try this, in a new script above Main:
[ruby]#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Message
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This message window is used to display text.
#==============================================================================
 
class Window_Message < Window_Selectable
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Public Instance Variables
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  attr_accessor :input_number_window
end
 
#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Map
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs map screen processing.
#==============================================================================
 
class Scene_Map
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Terminate Message
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def terminate_message
    unless @message_window.nil?
      @message_window.terminate_message
      unless @message_window.input_number_window.nil?
        @message_window.input_number_window.dispose
        @message_window.input_number_window = nil
      end
    end
  end
end
[/ruby]
Now you just have to call $scene.terminate_message when the timer reaches 0.

UMS (Ccoa's Universal Message System) has a \w[#] escape sequence to dismiss the message window after # frames. However, it currently only dismisses the message window and choice window.
It could easily be modified to also dismiss the input number window.

That would be perfect... As I tried to dismiss the number input window with the \w[#] command (which failed).

MicKo, I'll try that out! Thanks.

EDIT : MicKo, THANK YOU! It works.
