How to make the script run faster without Lag ?

[shadow333]

Hi,

I am into making my first game, and I would like to show life in the form of hearts on the top left corner of the map screen. I just need to show life don;t want SP, exp  etc. So changed some of the the line of a script already posted here. Thanks to him, the script is working and hhearts are showing up. All good till there.

The problem is once the life scipt is called. the game becomes super slow. The character takes years to move from one side to other side

I am not sure whether this is because I am calling this script as an event using page 3. option script.
then I gave it as Window_Hud.new. thats all....

Please find below the entire thing I used for this. I don't want to use any other conples scripts or SDK for this ... I just taking my first steps in understanding how it works,


    class Window_Hud < Window_Base
      def initialize
        super(-16, -16, 672, 512)
        self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
        self.contents.font.name = "Georgia"
        self.contents.font.bold = true
        self.contents.font.size = 14
        self.opacity = 0
        self.contents_opacity = $game_player.screen_y < 128 ? 90 : 255
        @hp = 0
        @maxhp = 0
        update
      end
      def refresh
        self.contents.clear
        @hp = $game_party.actors[0].hp
        @maxhp = $game_party.actors[0].maxhp
        @x = 32
      @y = 16
        hearts = @maxhp / 250
        for i in 1..hearts
          x = ((i - 1) % 20) * 16 + @x
          y = ((i - 1) / 20) * 16 + 4
          if @hp >= i * 250
            bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon('HeartF')
          elsif (@hp < i * 250) && (@hp > (i - 1) * 250)
            bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon('HeartH')
          else
            bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon('HeartE')
          end
          self.contents.blt(x, y + 8, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 16, 16))
        end
      end
     
      def update
        refresh unless (@hp == $game_party.actors[0].hp and
                        @maxhp == $game_party.actors[0].maxhp)

      end 









Pease help !

Spoiler

replace your entire script with this:
    class Window_Hud < Window_Base
      def initialize
        super(-16, -16, 672, 512)
        self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
        self.contents.font.name = "Georgia"
        self.contents.font.bold = true
        self.contents.font.size = 14
        self.opacity = 0
        self.contents_opacity = $game_player.screen_y < 128 ? 90 : 255
        @hp = 0
        @maxhp = 0
        update
      end
      def refresh
        self.contents.clear
        @hp = $game_party.actors[0].hp
        @maxhp = $game_party.actors[0].maxhp
        @x = 32
       @y = 16
        hearts = @maxhp / 250
        for i in 1..hearts
          x = ((i - 1) % 20) * 16 + @x
          y = ((i - 1) / 20) * 16 + 4
          if @hp >= i * 250
            bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon('Heart')
          elsif (@hp < i * 250) && (@hp > (i - 1) * 250)
            bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon('Heart')
          else
            bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon('Heart')
          end
          self.contents.blt(x, y + 8, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 16, 16))
        end
      end
     
      def update
        refresh unless (@hp == $game_party.actors[0].hp and
                        @maxhp == $game_party.actors[0].maxhp)
      end
       end 
class Scene_Map
alias init_hud initialize
alias hud_update update
def initialize
     init_hud
  @hud = Window_Hud.new
end
def update
   hud_update
  @hud.update
end
end

That create the hud and updates it,
won't lag at all..
mods,
please move this topic to RGSS Support.
