[Resolve]d I have a HUD, I want a switch :D

[ChaosMaxima]

Yeah, the topic title barely explains anything. I just wanted it to be kind of funny (Laugh at my stupid sense of humor, lol). Now, let me explain what I want.

I found this AWESOME hud, that makes gradients, and other cool stuff without using a single picture. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a switch which can turn it ON and OFF at will.

Therefore, can somebody edit this script and make it work depending on a switch.

This the script (SMF doesn't have spoilers.. :-\)

#-----------------------------------------------------------------
class Scene_Map
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
  alias sk_bar_main main
  def main
    @bars = Window_Sk_Bars.new
    sk_bar_main
    @bars.dispose if @bars != nil
  end
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
  alias sk_bar_update update
  def update
    @bars.update
    sk_bar_update
  end
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
end
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
class Window_Base < Window
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
  def sk_initialize(font=0,size=22)
    font = "Tahoma" if font == 0
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(self.width-32,self.height-32)
    self.contents.font.name = font
    self.contents.font.size = size
  end
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_text_outline(x,y,w,h,str,c=normal_color,a=0)
    self.contents.font.color = Color.new(0,0,0,255)
    self.contents.draw_text(x-1,y,w,h,str,a)
    self.contents.draw_text(x+1,y,w,h,str,a)
    self.contents.draw_text(x,y+1,w,h,str,a)
    self.contents.draw_text(x,y-1,w,h,str,a)
    self.contents.font.color = c
    self.contents.draw_text(x,y,w,h,str,a)

  def draw_actor_hp(actor,x,y)
    width = 128
    y += 4
    white = Color.new(255,255,255,255)

    self.contents.fill_rect(x+1, y+11, width-2, 1, white)
    # Black back
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+2, y, width-4, 1, black)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+1, y+1, width-2, 1, black)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x, y+2, width, 7, black)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+1, y+9, width-2, 1, black)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+2, y+10, width-4, 1, black)
    # Generating the color
    val = 255 * ((actor.hp*100)/actor.maxhp)
    green = 255 - val/100
    color = Color.new(224,green,0,255)
    w_color = Color.new(255,green+32,96,255)
    if green > 64 then green -= 32
    elsif green > 128 then green -= 64 end
    b_color = Color.new(172,green,0,255)
    # Making the bar
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+2, y, w-4, 1, w_color)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+1, y+1, w-2, 1, w_color)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x, y+2, w, 7, color)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+1, y+9, w-2, 1, color)
    self.contents.fill_rect(x+2, y+10, w-4, 1, b_color)

Thanks to anyone who can do this for me!

You can replace:

  def update
    self.contents.clear
    actor = $game_party.actors[0]
    draw_text_outline(0,-4,64,26,"HP")
    draw_actor_hp(actor,30,0)
  end

with

  def update
    self.contents.clear
    if $game_switches[<insert the switch number here>]
      actor = $game_party.actors[0]
      draw_text_outline(0,-4,64,26,"HP")
      draw_actor_hp(actor,30,0)
    end
  end

no charlie.lee, that will only remove the content.

above the following line:

@bars.update

put this line, where switch_id is the number of the switch.

@bars.visible = $game_switches[switch_id]

This has been done on purpose. This window is supposed to use a transparent skin (self.opacity=0), so if you remove the contents, nothing will be displayed. Moreover with my code you don't waste time processing data for a not visible window.

Both work, but you really could combine the two...

Thanks everyone. I have yet to try it out, but since charlie.lee has posted this, it will probably work (great scripters like him don't usually make mistakes  :D)

Once again, thanks everyone, you guys have really been of a great help to me 

EDIT: It works! Thanks everybody!  ;D
