Help with showing picture.

[g_man_450]

How would I go about showing a picture within my battlestatus window?

I've read tutorials, but I'm having a hard time picking some of this stuff up.

 

[g_man_450]

Sorry for the bump. Here is what I have tried in Window_BattleStatus

def draw_picture(picture, x, y)
bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("Dragonhead.png")
cw = bitmap.width
ch = bitmap.height
src_rect = Rect.new (0, 0, cw, ch)
self.contents.blt(x - cw / 2, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
end

I also tried:
self.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("Dragonhead.png")

but apparently that method does not exist in Window_Base? Sorry, but I am very much a beginner with scripting.

A picture would be shown as such:

bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('NAME')
self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(ox, oy, width, height))

 

[g_man_450]

I tried this and still can't see the picture. Is it possible that it is not being shown over the window? Thanks again!

 

[Raziel]

Do it within the Window_BattleStatus window and it should work.

 

[g_man_450]

That's where I've been messing around, but still no dice.

 

[Raziel]

Can you show us the edited code?

 

[g_man_450]

I inserted what MeisMe

bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('NAME')
self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, Rect.new(ox, oy, width, height))

said in the def initialize.

class Window_BattleStatus < Window_Base
# ------------------------------------
def initialize
super(0, 320, 640, 160)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
@level_up_flags = [false, false, false, false]
refresh
end
# ------------------------------------
def dispose
super
end
# ------------------------------------
def level_up(actor_index)
@level_up_flags[actor_index] = true
end
# ------------------------------------
def refresh
self.contents.clear
@item_max = $game_party.actors.size
for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
actor = $game_party.actors
actor_x = i * 160 + 4
draw_actor_name(actor, actor_x, 0)
draw_actor_hp(actor, actor_x, 32, 120)
draw_actor_sp(actor, actor_x, 64, 120)
if @level_up_flags
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(actor_x, 96, 120, 32, "LEVEL UP!")
else
draw_actor_state(actor, actor_x, 96)
end
end
end
# ------------------------------------
def update
super
if $game_temp.battle_main_phase
self.contents_opacity -= 4 if self.contents_opacity > 191
else
self.contents_opacity += 4 if self.contents_opacity < 255
end
end
end

I messed around with the x/y's but still no dice.

I don't see it, put it in the refresh method after self.contents.clear.

 

[g_man_450]

Thanks Daniel, that did the trick. New problem though.

I want the picture to show on the far right side of the Battle Status Menu, but I'm only using a 2member party. Whenever I move the picture past the 2nd party-members info, that portion of the picture won't show. Do I need to create a new window on top of the BattleStatus Window, and if so how?

Sorry for being a scripting noob.

 

[Juuhou]

Instead of putting the code directly under self.contents.clear, put it under draw_actor_state and this should make the picture overlap everything, showing the whole picture...Im sure.

 

[g_man_450]

That didn't work either. . .

Any other suggestions?

 

[g_man_450]

Here's a ss of what I'm getting:

Whenever the image moves past the second hero's window, it gets cut off.

Change the width value to a larger value.
