help editing falcao universal bestiary script.

[decanos78]

Hi im using a universal bestiary that falcao and a few others a responsible for creating it. The issue i am
having is that in my game im using dynamic lighting effects, a picture semi transparent on certain
maps that give lighting effects, see pictures below for a clearer description of what is happening when I
call the bestiary up...

this a cave with a little of the lighting effect....

this a cave with the bestiary called up, as you see the problem is that
the script is behind, I need the script to be on top of everything....

below is the main script...

SO, my question is.. CAN someone please tell me how to change the script so when it is called it's brought to the front
of everything, ~(or on top of everything)~,

thanks

 

[ZenVirZan]

Try
below line 53 adding
self.z = 9000

then under line 169 add
self.z = 9000

under line 186
self.z = 9001

under 235
self.z = 9000


This is completely untested. Back up your script before trying

 

[decanos78]

That totally works.. ty zenvirzan

 

[BlueScope]

Just as a general reminder, please use code or rgss tags next time you post code, because you might not find masochistic people who like to read code without formatting or indentation next time around (that, by the way, also don't use code tags :huh: just what has this place become...).

 

[decanos78]

I tried to use the code tags but when i submitted the post, the whole code was on screen and not hidden.. so I had to hide it by using the other tags, thought anyone would'nt mind as i wrote in red that the codes hidden below!... anyhows.. i got my answer!
