Items, Armor, Weapons -> A menu for each of them

[Exseven]

I was wondering if there was a way to split up the weapons, armors and items in the Window_item...
because I would like to do 3 windows, one for each type of items (Weapons, Armors and items)

I've some good bases of RGSS so it won't be a problem if I have to make the 3 windows myself!
Just want to know where's the section in the Window_Item script that mix the 3 kind of items...

I also want to make 3 independant windows so that we CAN'T navigate through one another.
that won't be a problem, the main idea is to create 3 windows for each type of item.
One should be a Window_selectable (The items one)
but the others only need to be Window_Bases...

Thanks a lot.

Inside Window_Item you should see the code:

    @data = []
    # push items into the data array
    for i in 1...$data_items.size
      if $game_party.item_number(i) > 0
        @data.push($data_items[i])
      end
    end
    # unless in battle, draw weapons and armor
    unless $game_temp.in_battle
      for i in 1...$data_weapons.size
        if $game_party.weapon_number(i) > 0
          @data.push($data_weapons[i])
        end
      end
      for i in 1...$data_armors.size
        if $game_party.armor_number(i) > 0
          @data.push($data_armors[i])
        end
      end
    end

Depending on the Window, remove the respective snippet. For instance, for weapons the code would be:

    @data = []
    # push items into the data array
    # unless in battle, draw weapons and armor
    unless $game_temp.in_battle
      for i in 1...$data_weapons.size
        if $game_party.weapon_number(i) > 0
          @data.push($data_weapons[i])
        end
      end
    end

So basically, what you do is, you duplicate Window_Item twice, so you have 3 of it. Change two of them to Window_Weapon and Window_Armor. Remove the respective snippets as shown above.

Next step is to duplicate Scene_Item two times and change these as well to Weapon and Armor.
Find the line:

@item_window = Window_Item.new

For weapon and armor, change Window_Item.new to Window_Weapon.new or Window_Armor.new.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Just noticed:

I also want to make 3 independant windows so that we CAN'T navigate through one another.
that won't be a problem, the main idea is to create 3 windows for each type of item.
One should be a Window_selectable (The items one)
but the others only need to be Window_Bases...

I didn't quite get that, can you explain a bit better?

Thanks a lot! I managed to do it!

I mean : The window item is a Window_Selectable -> You can navigate through the window, choose and item and use items.
            The others are not -> Window_Armor (and Window_Weapon) are not ACTIVE Window_Electable so that there is no cursor in it.
            The windows for weapons ans armors are just a simple window.

and I added to this piece of code the Scene_Item script! (with all the .update and .dispose things at the right place)

 #Make the 3 windows
@win_item = Window_Item.new
@win_armor = Window_Armor.new
@win_weapon = Window_Weapon.new
 #the only active window is the item one
@win_armor.active = false
@win_weapon.active = false

I also added "self.index = -1" to the Window_Armor and Window_Weapon so that there's no cursor at all in these 2
and I resized the windows to about 1/3 of the screen.

Here's a screenshot. The windowskins are not done yet but you can have a good idea!
I guess there's no need to put a demo for a menu so there's only a screenshot.

Sorry for my english... I'm from Quebec and my first language is french. Is my english that bad?  :smile:

Thanks again

Using self.index = -1 works fine, though this might be uneccessary and lengthening the code. I won't go into detail, as it works fine and shouldn't lower your FPS at all anyway.

Your English isn't bad at all, I understood it fully when you added the explanation in your previous post.

Glad it worked out for you.

What is the weapon that is really good in fighting? I want to choose the best one.
