Command Window Options by Name

[BlueScope]

I wouldn't stuff the title, so here goes a more in-depth explanation: I'd like to replace the following code ...

case @command_window.index
when 0
  # execute
when 1
  # execute
end

... with a code that asks for the name of the option that's highlighted. I tried that code (doubting it'd work, and expectedly, it didn't):

case @command_window.commands[index].to_s
when "Option 1"
  # execute
when "Option 2"
  # execute
end

I've seen something back in time in the old forums, but now is the first time I actually need it :P

Thanks in advance.

Add this into Window_Command before the initialize method:

attr_reader :commands

It should work now by using:

case @command_window.commands[@command_window.index]
when "Option 1"
  # execute
when "Option 2"
  # execute
end

Hell, it really was that simple? ^_^ Thank you, that's the second time you helped me out ... you're doing a CBS for me? :D (just kiddin Strangely, I made huge process in that sector ^_^ )

This thread is resolved for me, but just for the sake of perfectionism, is there any way to check for the phrases that the commands are aligned to (by default i.e. s1[/blue]) ?

You mean what variable they are stored in?

You could if you made them instance variables, like @s1, @s2, etc. Then check if they are the current selected word by using:

case @command_window.commands[@command_window.index]
when @s1
  #code
when @s2
  #code
end

I think that's what you meant, and it should work.

Okay, for my performance's sake, I'll screw the local variables and stay with the default, but thanks anyways :D
