Need some help

[Ellie]

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:

-If f8 is pressed, two windows are shown. If it is pressed again they disappear.
-If f9 is pressed, same but different windows.

Here's what I have:

def update_winds
    if Input.trigger?(Input::F8)
      if @inputf8 == true
        @inputf8 = false
      else
        @inputf8 = true
      end
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::F9)
      if @inputf9 == true
        @inputf9 = false
      else
        @inputf9 = true
      end
    end
  end

/\ In a seperate thing called def winds.

if @inputf8 == true
      @window1.update
      @window2.update
    end
    if @inputf9 == true
      @herowin.update
      @petwin.update
    end

/\ In def update_graphics

update_winds

/\ In def update

    if @inputf8 == true
      @window1 = Window_Quests.new
      @window2 = Window_QuestRewards.new
    end
    if @inputf9 == true
      @herowin = Window_HeroStats.new
      @petwin = Window_PetStats.new
    end

/\ In def main_draw

This is all in Scene_Map...

I know I have done this wrong, as it is not working. (Undefined method "update", for these lines:
@herowin.update
@petwin.update
@window1.update
@window2.update

How should I have done this?

Bump

first you have to initialize the followings in the main method of your scene :

@window1 = Window_Quests.new
@window2 = Window_QuestRewards.new

and to make windows appear and disappear you have to use

WINDOW.visible = false # or true

so I'd go like this in the update method:

if Input.trigger?(Input::F9)
  bool |= @window1.visible
  @window1.visible = @window2.visible = bool
  return
end

This didn't work, the window just always shows.

Also, will this make it so that by default, the window is not shown, then you have to press F9 to show it?

 

[Selwyn]

it should have worked.
could you post the scene script you're using please?

and this won't make the windows invisible by default. to do that you have to put the following lines right after you initialized your windows :

@window1.visible = false
@window2.visible = false
