[RMXP] How to add a new window to a scene ?

[Jason]

Hi,

So I've made a basic window named Window_EquipPreview, and I want it to be seen inside Scene_Equip, however, I don't know how to add it into the Scene without recieving an error, I've tried adding;

    @item_window6 = Window_EquipPreview.new(@actor)

Below

    @help_window = Window_Help.new

    @left_window = Window_EquipLeft.new(@actor)

    @right_window = Window_EquipRight.new(@actor)

    @item_window1 = Window_EquipItem.new(@actor, 0)

    @item_window2 = Window_EquipItem.new(@actor, 1)

    @item_window3 = Window_EquipItem.new(@actor, 2)

    @item_window4 = Window_EquipItem.new(@actor, 3)

    @item_window5 = Window_EquipItem.new(@actor, 4)

As well as underneath every piece of code of the same sort (Where it lists each window etc.)

Am I doing something wrong ? And if so, can someone help me out here ?

Thanks.

Possible causes of error:
- You do not have initialize method
How to solve: add initialize method(check in other windows how it's done)
- Your window is so simple that initialize method does not get any variables
How to solve: chenge your code to @item_window6 = Window_EquipPreview.new

If this does not help post
1. What error do you have?
2. Your window script.

More like you need a seperate instance in that class, aka don't make the object name '@item_window6', but something like '@preview_window'. I think if you right-click -> Replace all instances of one with the other, you should be set... if you didn't mess up your window, that is ^^

For future questions, please post the whole scripts you're working with, in this case Scene_Equip and Window_EquipPreview.

Ah, many thanks, have a beer :cheers:

@preview_window worked perfectly,

Edit--

I have one last little thing that I can't seem to crack, how to show the sprite of the current actor, at the moment I'm using;

 

    @actor = actor

    actor = $game_party.actors[0]

    bp_actor = RPG::Cache.character(actor.character_name,actor.character_hue)

    r_actor = Rect.new(0, 0, bp_actor.width / 4, bp_actor.height / 4)

    self.contents.blt(368/4 - 32, 4, bp_actor, r_actor)

 

However, as obvious as it may be, that only displays the first actors sprite, I've tried changing

 

@actor = $game_party.actors[0]

 

to

 

@actor = $game_party.actors[i]

 

But I get an undefined method error for the part.

Any help is appreciated.
