I need a variable related window

[Zackwell]

Hi,
In my game, I'm using a system not unlike the Legend of Dragoon 'stardust' side-quest, It all works with variables, but I have need of a tiny piece of script to put in the menu to display the variable.

I would like it, if possible to be in the place of the 'Steps taken' window.

I have tried a little bit of it, But I have no idea how to make it display a variable.

#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Signet
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This window displays signet count on the menu screen.
#==============================================================================

class Window_Signet < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 160, 96)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, 120, 32, "Signets")
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, $game_variable = 0007)
  end
end

But all it looks like is:
Signets:   <-title of window
Signet     <- Name of the variable

I want to know how to make it display the value of the variable, but I only get errors

   

self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, $game_variable = 0001)

this is the line which should display the value of the variable.

I know it'll be simple for you guys so I have no worries that you wont be able to do it  :smile:
Thanks

Use this:

self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, $game_variable[7].to_s)

Thanks, but it still gives an error, it says "undefined method `[]' for nil:Nilclass"

That's due to a small typo from FireRaven's side between $game_variable and $game_variables. Try this instead:

self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, $game_variables[7].to_s)
