Running a Scene_Map method...

[Ellie]

How can I run a Scene_Map method through "call script"?

I tried these:

Scene_Map.do_stuff
and
Scene_Map::do_stuff

Both come up with "Undefined method 'do_stuff' for Scene_Map:class"

do_stuff is currently this:

class Scene_Map
  def do_stuff
    p 'Hello World'
  end
end

Edit:

Also, how can I do a wait(x) command in a script, where "x" is a number of frames?

 

[tibuda]

It's this way

$scene.do_stuff

Just don't use it in battle events, unless you add the "do_stuff" method to Scene_Battle too.
About waiting in scripts, I'm not sure, but I think you can use

@wait_count = frames

in event script calling.

 

[Ellie]

That still gets the same error. Oh and the waiting doesn't seem to do anything (tested in another script).

 

[Freakboy]

try this instead:

def self.do_stuff

 

[Ellie]

Now it gets "Undefined method 'do_stuff' for #<Interpreter:0x4020b10>

 

[Ellie]

Bump

 

[Sheol]

$scene.do_stuff

works well if you use it in a map event, unless you haven't defined it.

 

[Ellie]

That works, thanks.

Waiting still seems to do nothing however. This is my script: (excuse the cruddyness :p)

Spoiler

class Scene_Map
  def something
    @load_bar = Sprite.new
    @load_bar.z = 9999
    # Start process
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar1')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar2')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar3')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar4')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar5')    
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar6')    
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar7')    
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar8')    
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar9')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar10')    
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('no_image')
  end
end

(I know it says load_bar a lot, but believe me this isn't some sort of fake loading bar script or anything.)

After update a sprite, you must update Graphics.
But I'm not sure if that'll work, as I don't know the rest of your script

class Scene_Map
  def something
    @load_bar = Sprite.new
    @load_bar.z = 9999
    # Start process
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar1')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    Graphics.update
    @load_bar.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('load_bar2')
    @load_bar.update
    @wait_count = 10
    Graphics.update
    # ...
  end
end

That is the whole script It's just one method really, to display a changing image.

That works fine now except for the waiting, it doesn't er... wait.

This is not the best way, but it works, replace your @wait_count = 10 with this:

sleep(0.1)
