Playtime HUD

[Schnooble]

Hey just thought id ask here if anyone can help me tidy up my first script, im pretty sure theres a way easier way of doing it. Some of it is code from the playtime window and I was wondering if there was a way to call the information from that script, instead of duplicating it in mine. Thanks in advance :]

class Window_PLayTimeHud < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 210, 64)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    self.opacity = 200
    self.contents.clear
  refresh
end
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 120, 32, "Play Time:")
    @total_sec = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
    hour = @total_sec / 60 / 60
    min = @total_sec / 60 % 60
    sec = @total_sec % 60
    text = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", hour, min, sec)
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(50, 0, 120, 32, text, 2)
  end
  def update
    super
    if Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate != @total_sec
      refresh
    end
  end
end


class Scene_Map
  alias playtimehud_main main
  alias playtimehud_update update
  def main
    @playtimehud = Window_PLayTimeHud.new
    playtimehud_main
    @playtimehud.dispose
  end
  def update
    @playtimehud.update
    playtimehud_update
  end
end

Well, you could just do:

class Your_Class < Window_Playtime

And overwrite the methods of Window_Playtime while not having to overwrite the entire class or something.

Also, I don't understand why you re-wrote a playtime window in the first place when you didn't seem to change much from the original...

But, I can see no problems to your edit of Scene map, except that I think your hud would still be visible when you do things like show a message window.

I only wrote it for a bit of practise :P started ruby on thursday morning :] it dissappears when the menu is opened or a battle is started etc ...

You have any ruby scripting tips for me to take heed of ?
