Selectable window menu thingy

Ellie · Aug 13, 2006

I am making a sort of "pet system". Right now I am making the sort of selectable menu to go at the side of the screen while in the pet scene, but I am having some problems.

I tried Dubealex's selectable menu tutorial bit but found it absolutely crap (it doesn't explain anything, just says "copy and paste this into here and you have yourself a menu" pretty much... Or that's what it seemed to me.)

So i decided to sort of er... look for bits and pieces that seemed like parts of a selectable menu from Scene_Menu and er... added them in to my script. I know, I am a noob at RGSS.

Code:

class Scene_PetSystem
  #-----------------
  # Main processing
  #-----------------

  def main
    # Make command window
    s1 = "Pets"
    s2 = $data_system.words.skill
    s3 = $data_system.words.equip
    s4 = "Status"
    @command_window = Window_Command.new(185, [s1, s2, s3, s4])
    @command_window.index = @menu_index
    #Call windows
    @window1 = Window_Pets1.new
    @window2 = Window_Pets2.new
    #@window3 = Window_Pets3.new
    #@window4 = Window_Pets4.new
    @window5 = Window_Pets5.new
    #Transition
    Graphics.transition
    #Main loop
    loop do
    #Update game screen
    Graphics.update
    #Update input info
    Input.update
    #Frame update
    update
    #Abort loop if screen is changed
    if $scene != self
      break
    end
  end
  #Prepare for transition
  Graphics.freeze
  #Dispose of windows
  @window1.dispose
  @window2.dispose
  #@window3.dispose
  #@window4.dispose
  @window5.dispose
  @command_window.dispose
end

#-------------------
# Frame update
#-------------------

  def update
    #Update windows
    @command_window.update
    @window1.update
    @window2.update
    #@window3.update
    #@window4.update
    @window5.update
    # If command window is active: call update_command
    if @command_window.active
      update_command
      return
    end
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update (when command window is active)
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update_command
    # If B button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      # Play cancel SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # Switch to menu screen
      $scene = Scene_Menu.new
      return
    end
    # If C button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      case @command_window.index
      when 0  # Change Name
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        #Syntax for 'Change Name'
        $scene = Scene_Menu.new
      when 1  # Pet Store
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        #Syntax for 'Pet Store'
        $scene = Scene_Menu.new
      when 2  # Battlegrounds
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        #Syntax for 'Battlegrounds'
        $scene = Scene_Menu.new
      when 3  # Back to Menu
        # Play decision SE
        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
        #Syntax for 'Back to Menu'
        $scene = Scene_Menu.new
      end
      return
    end
  end
end

As you can er... probably guess I am having a lot of errors...

Are there any sort of guides or anything for making a selectable window? Or er... anyone know what I have done wrong in the scene above?

I have changed the script a bit, been working on it. Got rid of 2 windows for example and stuff. But anyway, this is it:

    if $scene != self
      break

          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Basically I wanted in the space left for there to be a selectable window with:

Change name
Pet store
Battlegrounds
Back to Menu

EDIT: Nevermind fixed the error this particular post was about. Anyway, I still need someway of making a selectable thingy...

I am going to ask someone to if they will make one in script requests.
