[Resolved] My window comes up, then goes away.

[Itachi62]

This is the script I'm using:

Spoiler: Script

class Itachi_One < Window_Base
  
  def to_s
    $game_variables[15].to_s
  end
  
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 70, 70)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    @windowskin_name = $game_system.windowskin_name
    self.contents.font.name = "Arial"  
    self.contents.font.size = 24
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 100, 32, to_s + "%")   
    refresh
  end
  
  def refresh
    Graphics.update
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = text_color(2)
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 100, 32, to_s + "%")    
  end  
  
  def update
    refresh
  end
end

The problem is, once I use Itachi_One.new to bring the window up, it disappears after a while. With my crappy scripting knowledge, I have no idea how to fix this. So how do I fix it so it stays forever?

Don't call Graphics.update in the refresh. And although the update will work as it should you should limit calls to draw_text if possible. So make a check to see if the variable has changed from the last time you drew the text. You just need to save the variable in a class instance variable.

Example:

class Itachi_One < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 70, 70)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
    self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
    self.contents.font.size = 24
    self.contents.font.color = text_color(2)
    @var = nil
    refresh
  end

  def to_s
    $game_variables[15].to_s
  end

  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 100, 32, to_s + "%")
  end

  def update
    return if @var == $game_variables[15]
    @var = $game_variables[15]
    refresh
  end
end

Thanks, but with that code, it didn't seem to fix it. Does it have to do with not updating Scene_Map?

Yeah, I'm new at scripting also, but I'm pretty sure you have to call it on Scene_Map, and not with a call script event.

 

[Itachi62]

I feel pretty stupid... but how do you do that?

 

[khmp]

Alright:

class Scene_Map
  # Aliased methods
  alias_method :old_main, :main
  alias_method :old_update, :update
  
  def main
    @window = Itachi_One.new
    old_main
    @window.dispose
  end

  def update
    @window.update
    if Input.trigger?(Input::R)
      @window.visible = !@window.visible
    end
    old_update
  end
end

Just insert that code above main and while in Scene_Map whenever you press the 'W' key on the keyboard. The window will appear or disappear.

Thank you.
This is resolved.
