Last name script (Resolved)

[Tox Garou]

Okay, I'm trying to code in a script to display the last name of a character on the status screen, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. Here's the script for it right now...

EDIT: Updated the script a bit, still don't think it'll cut it at this point

#--------------------------------
  def initialize
    x = @actor.id
    case x
    when x = 1
      lastname = " 1"
    when x = 2
      lastname = " 2"
    when x > 2
     lastname = ""
    end
  end

So can you help me here?

Don't put an end after each when. Look at how it's done in some of the default scripts.

 

[Tox Garou]

well that did fix the syntax error. Now I just need to know how to put this in the status window.

 

[Draken]

just add it after where it shows the first name, that might work, but it might overlap something, so a little more editing will be needed.

 

[Tox Garou]

yeah, but how?

Why don't you just put the last names in the actor's name in the Database's Actor tab?

I just want it in the status screen, not everywhere else.

I think i got what you need...

Place this in Window_Base (right under def draw_hero_name is ok)

def draw_actor_fullname(actor, x, y)
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    case @actor.id
     when 1
      lastname = "Dragon"
     when 2
      lastname = "Gryphon"
     when 3
      lastname = "Snake"
     when 4
      lastname = "Tiger"
     when 5
      lastname = "Whale"
     when 6
      lastname = "Dino"
     when 7
      lastname = "Kitty"
     when 8
      lastname = "Doggy"
    end    
    self.contents.draw_text(x, y, 120, 32, actor.name + " " + lastname)
  end

then change:

draw_actor_name(@actor, 4, 0)

to

draw_actor_fullname(@actor, 4, 0)

and your done...

Haven't fully tested it but i think it works fine... enjoy!

 

[Tox Garou]
