Small command window problem...

[Vitehite]

I'm using the small script changes on this site to make a (sort of) side view battle. The problem is that, unlike the enemy pictures, the party's sprites appear to show on top of the command window.

Could someone please show me how to fix this?

Just insert an empty section above main in the script listings and paste in it the code below. The only thing I added was the z value of the command window that displays the battle commands being set to an incredibly high number, (9999).

Good luck with it Vitehite! :thumb:

Hate to say this, but it didn't really work. >_>
I'm now left with an empty battle screen.

Try this above main:

class Scene_Battle
alias wyatt_main_battle main
  def main
    wyatt_main_battle
    @actor_command_window.z = 9999
  end
end

@Wyatt:
That won't work. There's a loop within Scene_Battle main. That code won't be reached until the loop has broken and the window which you are trying to manipulate has been destroyed.

@Vitehite:
Did you replace the whole Scene_Battle code with the code I gave you? But I figured it would have crashed rather than somehow ate the battlers. After all I only added one line of code. Unless the battlers use the same z value as the command window in question. Could you post your Scene_Battle code or a demo to your project to help us understand the problem better?

 

[Vitehite]

Ok. I uploaded a demo here.

Alright made a little fix for it. Didn't know it was a SDK script.
