Making an add-on for an existing class

[Twin Matrix]

How do you make an add-on for an existing class? E.g., I want to make an image appear during the update def from Scene_Battle, without editing the class itself. How would one do that?

 

[Raziel]

You could alias it, something like:

class Scene_Battle

alias tm_battle_update update

def update
#code goes here
tm_battle_update
end

end

I don't know why you want to show an image during the update method anyway. :P

I didn't feel like explaining the entire pet system, but it uses an image in the def update. :P

By the way, good idea.

Why do you need a picture to show in def update?

It's the person that uses the pet.
