Font Question

[4StarGeneral]

Alright, if there is already a topic for this please feel free to smack me around, because I looked for maybe an hour for something like this to no avail.

Anyways, if I was, say, making a game where I wanted to change the font for each person, world, whatever...I'd like to know how to change the font in a text box depending on a trigger, script, or what-have-you. Something so that any text after that command will be that font, until I tell it otherwise. One default font, just doesn't cut it for me.

Any help is appreciated of course, and thanks in advance.

Tried that, it won't seem to work, though it looks like it would...and I tried it on a brand new game btw.

Do you have any Custom Messaging Scripts? Most play around with the font.

 

[4StarGeneral]

Nope, just the basic stuff, I made a new game to make sure.

Have you tried changing the name of the font in the quotations. Some fonts refuse to show up in XP and I don't think anyone has discovered the exact reason why.

 

[4StarGeneral]

I've tried all of the fonts with Font.default_name = "name" in the top of Main, and they all work. That's why I was amazed it wouldn't work with a call script.

EDIT: I tried it without the one in Main, also no effect.

Add this little tid bit of code above main. We will do this the hard way :wink:

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Map
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs map screen processing.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Map
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Public Instance Variables
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  attr_accessor :message_window
end

Then in call script:

$scene.message_window.contents.font.name = "font name"

 

[4StarGeneral]

Its telling me font isn't a method for message_window...

 

[khmp]

Doh.

$scene.message_window.contents.font.name = "font name"

Sorry I left out contents.

 

[4StarGeneral]

Know whats worse? The whole script won't fit on one line so it keeps giving me nasty errors... XD Stupid tiny box...

I didn't even take that into account:

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Map
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs map screen processing.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Map
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Public Instance Variables
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def message_font=(font)
    return if font.nil? || !font.is_a?(String)
    @message_window.contents.font.name = font
  end
end

$scene.message_font = 
'font name here'

You can break that up into two lines like that as long as the equals sign is on the first line.

It works perfectly, just what the doctor ordered. Thanks!

One more thing, is there anyway to change the Window_Equip and such at the same time?
