[Resolved]Calling methods of other classes

[alexanderpas]

How do I call a certain method of a Class that's not the current class, nor is it the parent of it?

For example, i want to start a new game instead of getting the buzzer sound at Scene_Load (i know how to do that)
but without copying the code of Scene_Title.command_new_game in Scene_Load
Instead i just want to make a call to Scene_Title.command_new_game so that that part is processed. (improving enourmous on compability )

Just like that:

$scene_title.command_new_game

^^You realize that when you do that it will start the game from the beggining.

Not really sure here, but wouldn't you define a new object, say, NewGame, for instance (you might probably want a better name) and do this:

NewGame = Scene_Title.new
NewGame.command_new_game

I think that would call the command_new_game method in Scene_Title, but someone please correct me, because I'm kind of new to this.

Edit: Chaosg1, you beat me to it! Well... I'll leave my bit here anyway, even if yours does look better.

 

[alexanderpas]

well... thanks both of you... i needed to combine your solutions to make it actually work XD

$scene_title = Scene_Title.new
$scene_title.command_new_game

Spoiler: example usage

#============================================================================
# ** Scene_Load addition
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs load screen processing.
#============================================================================

class Scene_Load < Scene_File
  alias alx_on_decision on_decision
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Decision Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def on_decision(filename)
    # If file doesn't exist
    unless FileTest.exist?(filename)
      $scene_title = Scene_Title.new
      $scene_title.command_new_game
      return
    end
    alx_on_decision(filename)
  end
end

Don't waste memory on a global variable. Take off the dollar sign.

$scene_title is already defined if I am not mistaken..

i know... i replaced those $ with @

$scene_title is already defined if I am not mistaken..

at least not on the level where i wanted to use it

No, it isn't. Are you getting confused with "$scene"?
