[Resolved]SDK Hud problem

[l0rdph0enix]

Ok so I have this Hud script that right now I'm using just to "draw" a box.

Spoiler: code

#==============================================================================
  HUD_SWITCH = 2

  class Sidebar_Hud < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Initialize             
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 383, 32) #super(587, 93, 52, 276) 
    self.z = 8000
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.opacity = 200
    self.visible = false
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    super
  end 
end
#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Map
#==============================================================================
class Scene_Map

  alias sidebarhud_main main
  alias sidebarhud_update update
  def main
    @sidebarhud = Sidebar_Hud.new
    sidebarhud_main
    @sidebarhud.dispose
  end
  def update
    if $game_switches[HUD_SWITCH]
      @sidebarhud.visible = true
    else
      @sidebarhud.visible = false
    end
    @sidebarhud.update
    sidebarhud_update
  end
end

The problem is when I use this

super(587, 93, 52, 276)

It works just fine, but not where I want it.

If I use this

super(0, 0, 383, 32)

then SDK 2.4 crashes with an error from this part of the script.

  def initialize(*args)
    # Original Initialization
    sdk_bitmap_init(*args)
    # Turn Disable Dispose ON
    @disable_dispose = true
  end
end

"sdk_bitmap_init(*args)"

Any idea why it's doing this?

I'd have to see whatever sdk_bitmap_init refers to.

Here's the snippet of code from the SDK 2.4 from Lines 2254 to 2276.

#==============================================================================
# ** Bitmap
#==============================================================================

class Bitmap
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Public Instance Variables
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  attr_accessor :disable_dispose
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Alias Listings
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias_method :sdk_bitmap_init, :initialize
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(*args)
    # Original Initialization
    sdk_bitmap_init(*args)
    # Turn Disable Dispose ON
    @disable_dispose = true
  end
end

Hope that's what you ment.

Mmm...you're error could be this:

self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)

Width and height are undefined; it'd be "self.width - 32" and "self.height - 32" or something.

 

[l0rdph0enix]

wait so I had the values with this reversed

super(0, 0, 383, 32)

the 0,0 is the width and height and the 382, 32 is the X and Y?

it's been a bit since I worked on this script :P.

Edit:
Wow I just tested that way and it works now. I feel like a noob, thanks for the help smiling snail, the .

@lordphoenix
First, you should tell the error message. It has the same importance than the script line. About the syntax, it is (x, y, width, height), so 0, 0 is the x,y coordinate, and 383, 32 is the bitmap size.

@smiling snail
if you call "width" inside a class' method, and it's not a local variable, Ruby will call "self.width". it's the same as calling "sdk_bitmap_init(*args)" and not "self.sdk_bitmap_init(*args)".

then SDK 2.4 crashes with an error from this part of the script.

  def initialize(*args)
    # Original Initialization
    sdk_bitmap_init(*args)
    # Turn Disable Dispose ON
    @disable_dispose = true
  end
end

"sdk_bitmap_init(*args)"

I've had this problem a few times, I think it's from trying to create a bitmap with no area (0 width or height)
