[Resolved] Showing HUD

[Jason]

Hi,

So I thought I'd do a little script editing with RMVX to get used to RGSS2 (Wow it's so much easier than RGSS...), but I've come across a problem;

 

  def showing_hud

    if Input.trigger?(Input::L)

      @hud_window1.visible = true

      @hud_window2.visible = true

    else

      @hud_window1.visible = false

      @hud_window2.visible = false

    end

  end

 

As you can see above, if L (Q on Keyboard) is pressed, it's supposed to show the HUD (Seperated into two windows), so it works, except when I press Q, the HUD flashes on and off really quick, is there a way to prevent this from happening, for example, is there a way to insert a wait into the script to allow the HUD to appear ?

Also, I'd like to know, what would I have to add to make it so if I press Q again, the HUD will go away, I was thinking;

 

  def showing_hud

    if Input.trigger?(Input::L)

      @hud_window1.visible = true

      @hud_window2.visible = true

    else

      if Input.trigger?(Input::L)

      if @hud_window1.visible = true

      if @hud_window2.visible = true

        @hud_window1.visible = false

        @hud_window2.visible = false

      end

    end

  end

 

However I haven't tested it yet, I'd like to make sure I'm on the right track with this (Although I doubt it, lol)

Thanks.

Its because the HUD only is set to appear if the L is pressed, rather than toggling. Try this instead:

   def showing_hud

     if Input.trigger?(Input::L)

       @hud_window1.visible = !@hud_window1.visible

       @hud_window2.visible = !@hud_window2.visible

     end

   end

It's a quick trick to change true to false and false to true.

bool = !bool

Ah, thanks for that bit of knowledge, Seph, worked like a charm.
