CMS Probs with Menu Index

[Rycross]

Hi! I am very new to rgss and rpgxp too and i was trying to create my first own cms after reading almost every tut i got. Including dubes.

Since three days i am nagging ona problem with the index method. I am able to draw and move my curosr where i want it, but cannot give him any action commands. I think its because the menu index is not defined correctly. But i cannot solve the prob myself. Help would be greatly appreciated!

here is the script for my menu so far.

class Scene_CMS2
  
  class CMS_ICON < Window_Selectable
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def initialize(menu_index = 0)
    @menu_index = menu_index
  end
  
  def initialize
    super(0, 80, 280, 64)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.index = 0
    self.z = 200
    @column_max = 6
    @item_max = 6
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
   self.contents.blt(4,5,RPG::Cache.icon("034-Item03"), Rect.new(0,0,24,24))
    self.contents.blt(41,5,RPG::Cache.icon("035-Item04"), Rect.new(0,0,24,24))
    self.contents.blt(82,5,RPG::Cache.icon("036-Item05"), Rect.new(0,0,24,24))
    self.contents.blt(123,5,RPG::Cache.icon("037-Item06"), Rect.new(0,0,24,24))
    self.contents.blt(164,5,RPG::Cache.icon("038-Item07"), Rect.new(0,0,24,24))
    self.contents.blt(205,5,RPG::Cache.icon("039-Item08"), Rect.new(0,0,24,24))
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Cursor Rectangle Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_cursor_rect
    self.cursor_rect.set(@index * 40, 0, 24, 24)
  end
end
  
  def main
       
    @cursor_index=@menu_index
       
    #Make Windows

      if $scene != self
        break
      end
    end
    # Prepare for transition

      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # Switch to map screen
      $scene = Scene_Map.new
      return
    end
  
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C) 
    case @cursor_index
      when 0 
        item 
      when 1
        save 
      when 2
        status 
      when 3
        skill
      when 4
        exit 
      end  
    end
  
  end
  
    def item 
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se) #play an SE
    $scene = Scene_Item.new #Syntax to change scene
    end  

    def save 
    $scene = Scene_Save.new
    end  

    def status
    $scene = Scene_Status.new
    end 

    def skill
    $scene = Scene_Skill.new
    end 

    def exit 
    $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se) #play an SE
    $scene = Scene_Map.new #Syntax to change scene
    $game_map.autoplay #Because we play music in the menu...
  
end
end

First, make Window class for your menu. Then, make a Scene class for your menu. I mean,

class CMS_ICON > Window_Selectable
  def initialize
  .....
  end
  (and other window related methods follow)
end #class end

class Scene_CMS2
  def initialize(menu_index = 0) 
    @menu_index = menu_index 
  end
  def main
    .......
  end
  (any menu scene related methods follow)
end #class end

like this.

He can have one class inside other, Landarma.
The problem is with this.

case @cursor_index

replace it for

case @cms_icon.index

However, 'def initialize' thing makes me confusing...

 

[tibuda]

Yeah, I guess that method belongs to the Scene and not to the window...
