[RGSS] Command index not updating properly

Welcome to the "I was so close to figuring this out then this happened" Chronicles

So, what I was trying to do was make a one-scene CMS, which is going great. In fact, everything is working fine.
The problem is that when I was adding the Equip info (which I knew it was going to be the hardest so I saved it for last), moving up and down the choice slots isn't working correctly. The other screens are, and still are, working.

When I activate the "Equip" window, it selects and can equip properly, but every time I press the "down" and "up" button the index of the window jumps by two instead of one. And, when selecting replacement equipment in the equip item window, the index jumps by 3 instead of one. Everything equips properly, it's just really annoying to see the jump all the time.

Here are the scripts that correspond with the menu and the processing that handles the equip windows.

Sooo much code, sorry.
This also probably isn't the best way to do this, either, but hey I wanted to write my own code and it's working (except FOR THIS ONE THING) so I'm happy....
I've been over this so many times I just cannot see where the issue is.

Thanks for your help, everyone!

The problem might not be in this script. The cursor update is under window_selectable, which is probably being written over somewhere else.
I wanted to plug this script in to investigate but the Window_HorizCommand.new isn't part of what you posted.


Part 3: line 15(at the end) looks suspicious.

@actor.equip(@equipright_window.index + 2, item == nil ? 0 : item.id)

adds 2 to the index if it C is pressed and the equipright window index isn't 0.

Oh, sorry, I can give it here.
As far as I know, it's not written over anywhere (besides HorizCommand but it's not called in that window)
if you need the rest of the menu I can give it if you want, though i've tested it with the default other scenes too and it still does this.

this is HorizCommand
Code: 
 

#==============================================================================

# ** Window_HorizCommand

#  This window deals with general command choices. (Horizontal)

  attr_accessor :c_spacing

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Object Initialization

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def initialize(width, commands, c_spacing = (width - 32) / commands.size)

    # Compute window height from command quantity

    super(0, 0, width, 64)

    @commands     = commands

    @item_max     = commands.size

    @column_max   = @item_max

    @c_spacing    = c_spacing

    @alignment    = 1

    self.contents = Bitmap.new(@item_max * @c_spacing, height - 32)

    refresh

    self.index = 0

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Command

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def command(index = self.index)

    return @commands[index]

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Commands

  def commands=(commands)

    # Return if Commands Are Same

    return if @commands == commands

    # Reset Commands

    @commands = commands

    # Resets Item Max

    item_max    = @item_max

    @item_max   = @commands.size

    @column_max = @item_max

    # If Item Max Changes

    unless item_max == @item_max

      # Deletes Existing Contents (If Exist)

      unless self.contents.nil?

        self.contents.dispose

        self.contents = nil

      end

      # Recreates Contents

    self.contents = Bitmap.new(@item_max * @c_spacing, height - 32)

    end

    # Refresh Window

    refresh

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Refresh

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def refresh

    self.contents.clear

    for i in 0...@item_max

      draw_item(i, normal_color)

    end

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Draw Item

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def draw_item(index, color)

    command = commands[index]

    x = index * @c_spacing + 4

    self.contents.font.color = color

    self.contents.draw_text(x, 0, @c_spacing - 8, 32, command, @alignment)

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Disable Item

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def disable_item(index)

    draw_item(index, disabled_color)

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Cursor Rectangle Update

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def update_cursor_rect

    if @index < 0

      self.cursor_rect.empty

    else

      self.cursor_rect.set(@c_spacing * @index, 0, @c_spacing, 32)

    end

  end

end

Fixed, replied in PM.
@coyotecraft: that was significant part of the issue, good spot!

the other part was that the inherited window_selectable functionality was not working as you needed since these windows were a bit unusual in their construction. I overrode Window_Selectable.update for your equipleft and equipright windows and used a grandfather access hack to update the base window while bypassing the Window_Selectable's update altogether.

For any other scripters that don't know how to access super.super:
Be aware that OOP-wise, its considered a violation of "good design". That said, in RM scripts, where the goal is to override functions minimally, I see it as no worse than using alias. The actual implementation has a few varieties, but this one works in RMXP and is simple:

supersuper = self.class.superclass.superclass
supermethod = supersuper.instance_method:)the_method_name_goes_here)
supermethod.bind(self).call

Sorry for getting to this so late! I was sleeping.
