Those are basics of Ruby in RGSS if you know the basics you can skip to the second long red line
Lots of help in Ruby and RGSS you can find in Help file of program. Help => Contents

Some introduction to Ruby in RPG Maker:
* RPG Maker have a two idea of classes.
**Normal classes and Scene classes
-Normal classes are there to do the counting and prepare everything to show in Scene classes they are not available to be shown in game(without changing Main)
-Scene classes are classes that prints things on screen and only one scene class can be visable at a time.
Ruby is a language where class
constructor is calls
initialize
A constructor is a function executed at creation of an object.
ex.
class Add
def initialize(a, b)
return a+b
end
end
This code will create a class Math which constructor needs two variables and adds them together
This code will print a message box which contains '5'. It creates new object from add class and gives it two variables it needs(2 and 3)
In Ruby there are four types of variables:
local: variable that works only inside function
ex.
class Local
def localVariable
this_is_a_local_variable = 4
print this_is_a_local_variable
end
end
instance: variable that works only inside class (this variables are started with @)
ex.
class Instance
def instanceVariable
@this_is_an_instance_variable = 4
end
def printInstanceVariable
print @this_is_an_instance_variable
end
end
global: variable that works inside every class (this variables are started with $)
ex.
class global
def GlobalVariable
$this_is_an_global_variable = 4
end
end
class ThatUsesGlobalVariable
def printGlobal
print $this_is_an_global_variable
end
end
class: variable that is has the same value for every object of the same type(it is started with @@ ; there are no class variables used in RGSS so I'll write a longer code that will show how it works.
ex.
class Math
def initialize
@@total = 0
end
def add(a,b)
print a+b
@@total += a+b
print @@total
end
end
c = Math.new
d = Math.new
c.add(1,2)
d.add(3,4)
This code will show numbers 3, 3, 7, 10
This means that
a+b = 3
@@total = 0+3
a+b = 7
@@total = 3+10
In RPG Maker in Sprite classes there is a function called
main it is a function called from Main
and is threated as
pseudo constructor.
-----------------------------------------------------
In your program you use a single Sprite
In your newest version of script you use my function as a bitmap
@sprite1.bitmap = fade(picName , x = 0, y = 0, zoom_x = 100, zoom_y = 100, orgin = 0)
it will not work 'cause:
1. You do not have fade function in your script
2. Fade is not a bitmap
Your first guess of
@sprite1.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("sce1")
was a hit you need to use RPG::Cache.picture
but instead of ("sce1") you just need a variable here
ex. (picture)
Instead of
main you need to make a
constructor(info about this is above) witch gets a name of a picture and it's position on screen.
ex.
def initialize(picture,x,y)
to set position of Sprite you need code
@sprite1.x = x
@sprite1.y = y

Sorry but I must end for today I'll post some new tips in 10h if no1 will help you.
If you do not understand something remember that you have Help(inside RMXP) and ask questions if what I write is to hard to you just ask questions and I'll answer. you can PM me if you wish I'll help.
