Draw System Help

[vendeko]

I am recreating the Draw System from FFVIII, and I figure that the best way to tell the scripts which magic is able to be drawn from an enemy is through the enemy's name itself, (i.e., a "Bite Bug" with "Holy" and "Water" magic would look something like "Bite Bug [Holy, Water]").

However, I have no idea how to do this. I had noticed something similar in the Dynamic Enemies script, drawing from the enemy's name, but it has since been updated. Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Make a hash in Game_Temp or something instead, using the enemy ids or names. For example:

class Game_Temp
  attr_accessor :draw_hash
  alias old_init initialize
  def initialize
    old_init
    @draw_hash = {
      enemy_id => [skill1, skill2, skill3, skill4], enemy_id => [skill1, skill2],
      enemy_id => [] # etc...
    }
  end
end

and this would allow me to manually link magic w/ enemy_id?

the above example would be... (if "Bite Bug" is enemy_id = 3)

enemy_id(3) => [Holy, Water]

right?

and I would attr_accessor :draw_hash in Scene_Draw, right?

so that

draw_hash[enemy_id(3)] produces [Holy, Water], right?

You have to replace enemy_id with the id of the enemy. So to set Fire1 and Fire2 to the third enemy in the database, you would use:

3 => ['Fire1', 'Fire2']

I apologize for my incompetence, but how would I display [Holy, Water] as part of a selection menu? something akin to how Items are displayed? (that means, using that method as a template of sorts?)

(does this make this a Script Request now lol?)

sorry for the double post, but would this be correct?

class Game_Temp
  attr_accessor :draw_array
  def initialize
    @draw_array = {
      1 => [skill1, skill2, skill3, skill4], 
      2 => [skill1, skill2],
      3 => [skill1, skill2, skill3]
     #n => [skilln] 	
    }
  end
end



class Window_Draw < Window_Selectable

attr_accessor :draw_array
  def initialize
    super(0, 64, 640, 416)
    @column_max = 1
    refresh
    self.index = 0

    if $game_temp.in_battle
      self.y = 64
      self.height = 256
      self.back_opacity = 160
    end
  end

  def magic
    return @draw_array[Enemy_Arrow.enemy.id]
  end

  def refresh
    if self.contents != nil
      self.contents.dispose
      self.contents = nil
    end
    @magic = []

    for i in 1...magic.size
        @magic.push(magic[i])

    @item_max = @magic.size
    if @item_max > 0
      self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, row_max * 32)
      self.contents.font.name = $fontface
      self.contents.font.size = $fontsize
      for i in 0...@item_max
        draw_magic(i)
      end
    end
  end
  def draw_magic(index)
    magic = @magic[index]
    x = 4 + index % 2 * (288 + 32)
    y = index / 2 * 32
    rect = Rect.new(x, y, self.width / @column_max - 32, 32)
    self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, magic, 0)
  end
end
