[Resolved] Quick Question: system_color

[nellshini]

I want to make system_color some sort of global method or variable so that I can change the color on a lot of text at once. What's the best way to go about this?

Note: Not every line of text I want to color this way has access to Window_Base's system_color or MACL's Sprite_Scrollable's version. I want the ability to make a global variable somewhere that I can call from any class or method as a color and make it really simple to change later on.

Also: After making this global color (using the method you tell me), how would I edit system_color to return it?

class Color
  def self.system_color
    return self.new(r, g, b, a)
  end
end

Untested, but I think it should work. You can make as many as you want, just remember to give them different names and change the RGBA value. To get the colour, use Color.system_color or Color.your_color_name. Hope this helps.

Use a Constant, you won't be changing this in game or anything

something like

System_Color = Color.new(192, 224, 255, 255)

Then to make scripts use that

class Window_Base
  def system_color
    return System_Color
  end
end

Btw Still making adjustments to MACL so that will change in version 2.0

Since Yeyinde posted first I tried that first and it worked, but I'll try the 2nd method as well and see which I like more. With Yeyinde's it looks like I can make a mutator method that can change the color in game, which would be good if I made a Options menu.

Either way, the question was answered. Thanks guys
