How-to Display Weapon Names and Icon?

[RadethDart]

Could someone here please tell me how I can display the party leader's weapon name and icon? Like, I need the syntax to be able to display them.

 

[khmp]

weapon = $data_weapons[$game_party.actors[0].weapon_id]
return if weapon.nil?
weapon_name = weapon.name
weapon_icon = RPG::Cache.icon(weapon.icon_name)#Bitmap.new('Graphics/Icons/' + weapon.icon_name)

Assuming you are using this for a window:

self.contents.blt(x, y, weapon_icon, weapon_icon.rect)
self.contents.draw_text(x + 26, y, width - (32 + 26), 32, weapon_name)

I am using it for a HUD, i s that the same thing?
Do you think you could add it into this coding, and I will see what you did? or you could also explain it?

You can place these five lines at the bottom of the refresh method of your HUD:

    weapon = $data_weapons[$game_party.actors[0].weapon_id]
    weapon_name = weapon.name
    weapon_icon = RPG::Cache.icon(weapon.icon_name)
    self.contents.blt(0, 72, weapon_icon, weapon_icon.rect)
    self.contents.draw_text(26, 72, 120, 32, weapon_name)

There is way to much wasted space on the window. Originally you were blanketing the entire screen. If you turn the opacity to 0 you won't see the border. "self.contents.opacity" controls the opacity of the objects drawn on it. For those reasons you can change you HUD's initialize to this:

  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 200, 200)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.contents.font.name = "Arial"
    self.contents.font.size = 15
    self.back_opacity = 0
    self.opacity = 0 # I don't want to see a border.
    refresh
  end

Nvm, it works now, but how to I make it so that if nothing is equipped, that it won't come up with an error?

 

[khmp]

weapon = $data_weapons[$game_party.actors[0].weapon_id]
unless weapon.nil?
  weapon_name = weapon.name
  weapon_icon = RPG::Cache.icon(weapon.icon_name)
  self.contents.blt(0, 72, weapon_icon, weapon_icon.rect)
  self.contents.draw_text(26, 72, 120, 32, weapon_name)
end

 

[RadethDart]

yay, would you like to see what this was for? here is the hud that took me forever

I also figured out a way to refresh

Spoiler

def update
    refresh if something_changed?
  end
end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Something Changed?
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def something_changed?
    return false if Graphics.frame_count % 30 != 0
    return true if @actor != $game_party.actors[0]
    return true if @old_sp != @actor.sp 
    return true if @str != actor.str
    return true if @agi != actor.agi
    return true if @gold_n != $game_party.gold
    return true if @int != actor.int
    return true if @dex != actor.dex
    return true if $kts != nil and @time != $kts.time.to_s
    return true if $kts == nil and @time != game_time
    return false
  end

Wait, is this a stamina system if you are running (holding a key)? If so could you post it for me to use please, been looking for one forever.

Also good job on the HUD.

 

[RadethDart]

Nah, it is just the SP, and i am working on a stamina system. Thanks
