Well I must say this was VERY hard to read and understand. If your not native to English then I can understand. If not please, please! Proof read before hand.

I think I understand though for anyone else who wants to answer. He wants to know how Aliasing works.

Aliasing works by providing a new name for the old method to be overridden so that it can be called upon when needed. Example:

class Foo
  def attack_target(target)
    damage = self.atk - (target.def / 2)
    return damage
  end
end

test = Foo.new
Foo.attack_target(Game_Actor.new(0))     # => 128


class Foo
  alias jat_old_attack_target attack_target

  def attack_target(target, damage = nil)
    if damage == nil
      return jat_old_attack_target(target)
    else
      return damage
    end
  end
end

test = Foo.new
Foo.attack_target(Game_Actor.new(0))    #=> 128
Foo.attack_target(Game_Actor.new(1), 9999)    #=> 9999

The syntax for alias is:
alias new_name_for_old_method old_method_name

Once a method is aliased and overridden, you can call the old method by calling new_name_for_old_method. DO NOT call old_method_name unless your method is recursive (and safe).

Be aware that when you're aliasing old methods, you do not include the parameter fields.

class Person
  def go_home(where, how, when)
    ...
  end

  def home?
    return @where == 'Home'
  end
end

class Person
[COLOR=Red]  alias jat_old_go_home(where, how, when) go_home(where, how, when) <-- Error![/COLOR]  
end

class Person
  alias jat_old_go_home go_home
  alias jat_old_home? home?

  def go_home(where, how, when, why = nil)
    if why == nil
      jat_old_go_home(where, how, when)
    else
      ...
    end
  end

  def home?
    return ((jat_old_home?) and (@why.valid_reason?))
  end
end

thanks :

- Dko, yes im not english, im french sorry, my bad

- jack, well i try your example, but it doesn't work, look :

class Window_Or < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(0,-80,200,80)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.contents.font.name = "Arial"
    refresh
  end
  
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    cx = contents.text_size($data_system.words.gold).width
    self.contents.draw_text(0, -10, 100,  40, "Vous possédez :")
    self.contents.draw_text(60, 20, 100-cx-2, 20, $game_party.gold.to_s, 2)
    self.contents.draw_text(50-cx, 20, cx, 20, $data_system.words.gold, 2)
  end

  def update
      refresh
    end
  end
  
  class Scene_Map
    alias new_main main
    alias new_update update
    
    def main
      @fenetre = Window_Gold.new
      @active = 0
    end
      
    def update
      @fenetre.update
        if @active == 1
          if @fenetre.y != 0
              @fenetre.y += 2        
          end
      elsif @active == 0
          if @fenetre.y != -80
              @fenetre.y -= 2
          end
      end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::F8)
      if @active == 1
        @active = 0
      else
        @active = 1
      end
    end
  end
end

i try to insert my modif but it give me an error. In fact, i not very understand ':|
if you could learn me with my code it'll be very cool :please:

thanks a lot

You still need to call the alias in your methods, so just put new_main in main, and new_update in your update. By the way your aliases should really be old_main/old_update.

 

[Jack A. Trades]

You aliased the old methods but you didn't call any of them...
Also, aliasing makes the old methods OLD </4chan>, not NEW.

  class Scene_Map
    alias [COLOR=Red]old[/COLOR]_main main
    alias [COLOR=red]old[/COLOR]_update update
    
    def main
      @fenetre = Window_Gold.new
      @active = 0
[COLOR=red]      old_main
      @fenetre.dispose[/COLOR]
    end
      
    def update
      [COLOR=red]old_update[/COLOR]
      @fenetre.update
        if @active == 1
          if @fenetre.y != 0
              @fenetre.y += 2        
          end
      elsif @active == 0
          if @fenetre.y != -80
              @fenetre.y -= 2
          end
      end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::F8)
      if @active == 1
        @active = 0
      else
        @active = 1
      end
    end
  end
end
