[New Question!] Draw Images

[PhoenixTilea]

Okay, I'm going to try and explain this as well as I can...

I'm doing an edit of a character selection script. It uses all of these complicated effects and such that I don't need. There is a switch case in the Scene that I need to use to display an actor graphic depending the index of my command window:

case @command_window.index
when 0
#Draw Actor 1's graphic
when 1
#Draw Actor 2's graphic
....

And so forth. I've been looking at other methods in Window_Base and such... but I don't understand enough about RGSS to know how to manipulate them to put the image where I want it.

Does anyone know what I mean and how to help...? I can't use any methods from Window_Base or whatever because this is a Scene class... as far as i know...

EDIT: In fact, learning how to draw any image at a specific point would help a lot...

Hmm, well I guess there's two things you could try here, I don't know which one to use in this instance, since I use them for two different windows;

You could try the simple;

 

draw_actor_graphic(@actor, x, y)

 

Or you could try this;

 

bp_actor = RPG::Cache.character(actor.character_name,actor.character_hue)

r_actor = Rect.new(0, 0, bp_actor.width / 4, bp_actor.height / 4)

self.contents.blt(x, y, bp_actor, r_actor)

 

Now, I don't know what the difference is, only that if I try using the first one, and it doesn't work, the second one does, lol....

*Is still pretty much a rookie at scripting...*

Although, I've just thought, your title says battler, this only displays the graphic, lol.

Yeah... Do you know how to just print a picture at a certain point? I know the whole RPG::Cache.picture("picture name", something) thing, but I don't know what that second parameter is, not do I know how to draw the picture at a certain point on a bitmap...
