Problems with MACL move method

[tibuda]

Hey people,
I'm trying to make an animated CMS using the "move" method in "Method and Class Library", but I'm with this problem when trying to animate the equipment scene item window with this small script:

class Window_EquipItem
  alias_method :ozycth_cms_weqitem_init, :initialize
  def initialize(*args)
    ozycth_cms_weqitem_init(*args)
    self.x = -width
  end
  def visible=(value)
    # p "#{@equip_type} : #{value}"
    self.move(value ? 0 : -width, y, 16)
  end
end

the windows are moving correctly when I set visible = true but when I set visible = false the windows are not backing to the screen corner. I've already checked and the values are correct. Can someone help me?

Yes. I am here

I will look into this problem, make sure that the window is being updated since that is how that method works

Thanks, I believe it's upadting because I'm using all SDK parts...

Edit:I think I know what's happening... I think these item windows in equip scene are not updated automatically.

Edit again: I was right. I have added a flag to enable the SDK auto-update when then window is not active and it worked. This is how my script is now:

class Window_EquipItem
  alias_method :ozycth_cms_weqitem_init, :initialize
  def initialize(*args)
    ozycth_cms_weqitem_init(*args)
    self.x = -width
    [COLOR=Red]@disable_update = false[/COLOR]
  end
  def visible=(value)
    self.move_x(value ? 0 : -width, 16)
    [COLOR=Red]@disable_update = value[/COLOR]
  end
[COLOR=Red]  def disable_update?
    return @disable_update
  end[/COLOR]
end

Thanks Trickster, your question about if the window is being updated helped a lot. I'll report the thread now.

Before I close this, I think you should set the disable_update flag to false to let that window update again since it is doing this that requires it to update every frame

I think no, because if the window is "visible", it will update but not automatically by the @item_window.update in Scene_Equip. So, I just have to enable the auto-update when the window is "hidden". If I enable when it's "visible" the window is going to be updated twice each frame, and that's the reason why I suggested you and Seph to disable the auto-update in Window_EquipItem in the SDK thread.

Heh, okay just making sure
