[Resolved]Location Window.

[Juuhou]

Something weird has come up when I tried to add a location window to my menu. This is the script:

#==============================================================================
# â–  Window_Location
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 　This displays your location via map name.
#==============================================================================

class Window_Location < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
	super(0, 0, 193, 43)
	self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
	self.contents.font.name = "Tahoma"
	self.contents.font.size = 13
	refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
	self.contents.clear
	self.contents.font.color = system_color
	self.contents.draw_text(7, -3, 120, 15, "Location")
	self.contents.font.color = normal_color  
	self.contents.draw_text(25, -3, 120, 15, $game_map.name.to_s, 2)
  end
end

The error is on line 26 when it refers to the $game_map.name variable. For some reason it wont read it and gives me this error:

Script 'Window Location' line26: NoMethodError occurred.

Undefined method 'name' for #<Game_Map:0x17f1620>

Obviously the method is undefined...so for you scripters, how would I be able to make the method err...definable?? Its weird though because this location window works in every other game Ive put it in.

Replace this:

self.contents.draw_text(25, -3, 120, 15, $game_map.name.to_s, 2)

With this:

[...]
$data_map_infos = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")
self.contents.draw_text(25, -3, 120, 15, $data_map_infos[$game_map.map_id].name)
[...]

Well that make sense. I actually just realized why it hadnt worked but had previously in all my other games. I was using DubeAlex's AMS and Im guessing that the map name mthod is utilized somewhere in there, thus allowing me to call it using those variables. Well, I see how it works now so I guess we can say. Topic resolved? Thanks anyways ^_^
