Confusion on a couple of matters.

[germen]

Hi, I am confused on setting properties for global variables, your supposed to be able to pull information from them even if there are in another class, but whenever I create a global variable and call it in another class and lets say I want to print the value of it(value == "text"), all I get is "nil"? Am I doing this wrong?

Also, can anyone tell me the command for putting text on a message box in game in script format (like how to call one up and put text in it.)

~ Thanks, Germen

just a thought, is your script something like this?

value == "text"
p value

Because I think it should be one of 2 ways:

value = "text"
p value

or

$value = "text"
p $value

No, I shouldn't of put the two == in this topic, you see $value = "text" but I want to be able to use its value in another class.

Here is a small example:

class Say_Something
  attr_reader :justatest
  def intialize
    $justatest = "no"
  end
end

class Something
  def initialize
    print $justatest
  end
end

(when printed, ("nil"))

 

[Freakboy]

you made a spelling error, change def intialize to def initialize

or just use this:

class Say_Something
  attr_accessor :justatest
  def initialize
    @justatest = "no"
  end
end

class Something
  def initialize
    @say_something = Say_Something.new()
    print @say_something.justatest
  end
end

Something.new()

Ok, I think I have that now, I thnk i get it lol, Thanks Freakboy! Although does anyone know about make a message window with text?

 

[Icedmetal57]

Do you mean like a dialog box like how errors are? That's

p "text here"

or

print "text here"

If you mean in rmxp, then that involves creating a window and such.

nevermind i found out wat i was looking for, it was:

$game_temp.message_text = "Text"

my only problem with that is it just doesnt go away, i click enter and it just renews itself *sigh*

 

[Draycos Goldaryn]

try placing

$game_temp.message_text = nil

right under it.

 

[germen]

Nope, just doesn't display the message at all.
also tried terminate_message but nothing.
