I just cant script

[Phoenix647]

Listen, im dieing to have the script to show character faces, and the script to show the other party members following you! but... everytime i try i screw up my scripts, i just cant figure it out. ive read both scripts countless times.

can anyone please be so kind as to copythe ENTIRE script sections where they go, so i can just erase those sections and paste, instead of trying to edit them. or is there some easier way?

its like the scripts are made so that only scripters understand them.

Face script is easy, just put this below def draw_actor_name in Window_Base:-

  # Face Graphic #
  def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y)
  bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("MenuFace/#{actor.id}")
   cw = bitmap.width 
   ch = bitmap.height 
   src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
   self.contents.blt(x - cw/5, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
 end

Then where you want it to display use the segment:-

draw_actor_face(actor, x - 60 ,y + 160)

the bottem half of that script, where does that last lne go on the script editor?

You place it where you want it, like if you wanted it be displayed in the menu, put it in the draw_actor section in Window_MenuStatus

What you do is create a folder in the Pictures folder called MenuFace, and then whatever number in the database the character is name the face that number and put it in the folder.

So, this would make it possible to display faces in text boxes? Would there be any text issues, or would the text avoid wrapping over the face in the first place?
