Not updating...

ultiomos · Aug 31, 2008

I'm using RMVX and I have a window that wont update. I'm not perfect at scripting, and I need help. I have the window in Scene_Map. Also I just tested the gold window that I moved there and it wont update either. It will only update if I go to a different scene. Here are the scripts.

Gold Window

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Gold
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This window displays the amount of gold.
#==============================================================================

class Window_Gold < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #     x : window X coordinate
  #     y : window Y coordinate
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(x, y)
    super(x, y, 160, WLH + 32)
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    draw_currency_value($game_party.gold, 4, 0, 120)
  end
end

Time Window -I didn't change any comments. Waste of time.

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** Window_Gold
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This window displays the amount of gold.
#==============================================================================

class Window_Time < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #     x : window X coordinate
  #     y : window Y coordinate
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(x, y)
    super(x, y, 160, WLH + 32)
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    $game_variables[2]
    $game_variables[3]
    self.contents.clear
    draw_currency_value($game_variables[21], 4, 0, 20)
    draw_currency_value($game_variables[22], 4, 0, 50)
  end
end

Scene_Map

Code:

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Map
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs the map screen processing.
#==============================================================================

P.S. If you can, help put a colon in the time window so it's like a clock.

You must also override the update method of each window to call the
refresh method if necessary. Here are the two versions of the classes
with the update methods added. In addition, I've added a feature to make
the time window optionally display a 24-hour or 12-hour clock.

Essentially, you store the variables within refresh in a variable beginning
with "old". Then you check the old variables with the current variables
whenever the update method is called.

Code:

class Window_Gold < Window_Base
  def initialize(x, y)
    super(x, y, 160, WLH + 32)
    refresh
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    @oldGold=$game_party.gold
    draw_currency_value(@oldGold, 4, 0, 120)
  end
  def update
    super
    refresh if @oldGold!=$game_party.gold
  end
end

class Window_Time < Window_Base
  def initialize(x, y)
    super(x, y, 160, WLH + 32)
    # Set to true for a 24-hour clock, or false
    # for a 12-hour clock.  
    @twentyFourHours=true
    refresh
  end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    @oldHour=$game_variables[21]
    @oldMinute=$game_variables[22]
    time=""
    if @twentyFourHours
     time=sprintf("%02d:%02d",@oldHour,@oldMinute)
    else
     time=sprintf("%02d:%02d %s",[12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11][@oldHour%12],@oldMinute,
           @oldHour<12 ? "AM" : "PM")
    end
    self.contents.draw_text(0,0,self.contents.width,self.contents.height,time,1)
  end
  def update
    super
    # Call refresh if any variables have changed
    refresh if @oldHour!=$game_variables[21] || @oldMinute!=$game_variables[22]
  end
end
