no super class method?

[Nava]

im making a script and i have a block in it that is exactly the same as another all except for the text and it gives me the error of super: no superclassmethod `negative' it would be greatly appreciated if some one could please help me.
here is the part of the script

Spoiler

def correct
super(0, 358, 621, 100)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
self.contents.font.size = 24
refresh_2
end

and then this part which is identical but leads to a different def

Spoiler

def negative
super(0, 358, 621, 100)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
self.contents.font.size = 24
refresh_3
end

the refresh #s are different on the second to last line

No, the problem is the super call is being directed at a non-existing method.

class Parent_Class
  def your_method
    p 'Parent method'
  end
end

class Child_Class < Parent_Class
  def your_method
    super()
  end
end

By Executing the your_method of an object of the Child_Class, the super refers to the method of the exact name in it's parent class (< Parent_Class)


Your problem is (should be), is that either your parent class isn't being defined, or the method name doesn't match.

class Parent_Class
  def your_method
    p 'Parent method'
  end
end

class Child_Class
  def your_method
    super()
  end
end

^ This would error because the parent class was specified ^

class Parent_Class
  def your_method
    p 'Parent method'
  end
end

class Child_Class < Parent_Class
  def yourmethod
    super()
  end
end

^ And this wouldn't work because the method names don't match. ^

Post the whole code if you aren't sure about fixing it.

class Number_window < Window_Base

@@password = 3445

def initialize
super(0, 358, 621, 100)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
self.contents.font.size = 24
refresh
end


def refresh
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Welcome, may I please have your Credentials?')
self.contents.draw_text(0, 25, 400, 32, 'Thank you one moment please...')
x = 0
if x * 53 != @@password
negative
else
correct
end
end


def correct
super(0, 358, 621, 100)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
self.contents.font.size = 24
refresh_2
end


def refresh_2
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Thank you, the gate is now open.')
end


def negative
super(0, 358, 621, 100)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
self.contents.font.size = 24
refresh_3
end


def refresh_3
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Im sorry but those credentials arent')
self.contents.draw_text(0, 25, 400, 32, 'valid, please come back and try again')
self.contents.draw_text(0, 50, 400, 32, 'in a moment when the screen refreshes.')
end

end

Just Try This:

class Number_window < Window_Base
  @@password = 3445
  def initialize
    super(0, 358, 621, 100)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
    self.contents.font.size = 24
    refresh
  end

  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Welcome, may I please have your Credentials?')
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 25, 400, 32, 'Thank you one moment please...')
    x = 0
    if x * 53 != @@password
      refresh_2
    else
      refresh_3
    end
  end

  def refresh_2
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Thank you, the gate is now open.')
  end

  def refresh_3
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Im sorry but those credentials arent')
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 25, 400, 32, 'valid, please come back and try again')
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 50, 400, 32, 'in a moment when the screen refreshes.')
  end
end

Not Sure what you are trying to accomplish, but I believe that is a fix to whatever it was doing.

You have to wait 24 hours before bumping a topic.

Perhaps if you explained what exactly you were trying to accomplish (clearly), someone can help you. The coding as a mess so I have no idea the direction this is trying to go.

 

[Nava]

what i am trying to do is make it so that when i hit the action key on an event that it changes my global variable from 0 and adds one each time you hit it and that it changes it permanently. i have no clue how to do this or even if its possible and i didnt mean to bump i thought that i hit the edit button but im about half-asleep so im srry. but yea if you could help me with that i say thanx in advance
