       #@levelup_window.x = 160 * @exp_gain_actor
       @levelup_window.visible = true
       @phase5_wait_count = 40
       @phase5_step       =  1
       
       @status_window.refresh
       return
     end
   end
 end until false
end
end

Now, normally when I want to make a window slide into position I o something like this:

def update
   if @the_window.x != 0
      @the_window.x += 4
   end
...
...
...
end

And that works quite perfectly! However, the above script does not have a "def update", and I am not talented enough to figure out where one might go. So, how could I go about making the levelup window slide into place?

 

[Yeyinde]

Very simple.

class Window_LevelUpWindow
  def update
    super
    self.x += 4 if self.x != 0
  end
end

super is a special method which calls the parent's method of the same name. In this case, Window_LevelUpWindow's parent is Window_Base which does have an update method.

Hope this helps.

Wow, got it to work on my first try! So, before this topic gets closed could someone just tell me why I didn't hve to actually call for the update? (i.e. LevelWindow.update). I'm trying to learn. Thanks!
