strange draw_text issue

[Kingdom Ablaze]

ok here is the code im using
[rgss] 
cx = contents.text_size($game_party.actors[@actor].name).width
p($game_party.actors[@actor].name)
self.contents.draw_text\
(4+((@index-1)*104)+((@index-1)*14), 32, cx, 32, $game_party.actors[@actor].name)
 
[/rgss]

ok the code runs fine, but the problem i get is it gives me all the right character names for the print statement, but for the draw_text statement i end up getting all actor 1 data. i have no idea how this is possible. here is screen shot of results

Strange that they don't match.... would have to see the whole method, and probably the method that calls it.

Is @actor an integer, or a Game_Actor object?

does $game_party.actors[@index - 1].name) work?

or just @actor.name

@actor is an integer and it really is @actor-1 just i tend to get people who whine about using -1 so much so i didnt include it. here is the real code
[rgss] 
def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents = RPG::Cache.picture("MenuDefault")
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    cx = contents.text_size("Hp").width
    self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, cx, 32, "Hp")
    self.contents.font.color = system_color #change color latter
    cx = contents.text_size($game_party.actors[@actor-1].name).width
    p($game_party.actors[@actor-1].name)
    self.contents.draw_text(4+((@index-1)*104)+((@index-1)*14), 32, cx, 32, $game_party.actors[@actor-1].name)
  end
 
[/rgss]
i have four instances of this window just so you know

@leader = window_stats.new(1,1)
@member1 = window_stats.new(2,2)
@member2 = window_stats.new(3,3)
@member3 = window_stats.new(4,4)

I still don't see anything wrong. Wanna send me the project, and I'll test it out?

sure link

please keep in mind ive only worked like a hour on this, so there is prob alot of dirty code

Ok, 2 problems. Since you have a separate window for each character, you don't need to offset the X location of the text. They're all 4.

Also, it looks like when you Cache the picture,
self.contents = RPG::Cache.picture("MenuDefault")
then change the bitmap in the cached image by drawing the text on it, the next time you use it it's changed. (Has the previous name on it).

Try something like....

#==============================================================================

# ** Window_Gold

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  This window displays amount of gold.

#==============================================================================

 

class Window_Stats < Window_Base

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Object Initialization

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def initialize(index, actor)

    super(0, 0, 136, 352)

    @index = index

    @actor = actor

    @bg_bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("MenuDefault")

    self.windowskin = nil

    self.contents = Bitmap.new(104,320)

    self.x = 148+((index-1)*104)+((index-1)*14)

    self.y = 55

    refresh

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Refresh

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def refresh

    self.contents.clear

    self.contents.blt(0,0,@bg_bitmap,Rect.new(0,0,104,320))

    self.contents.font.color = system_color

    cx = contents.text_size("Hp").width

    self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, cx, 32, "Hp")

    self.contents.font.color = system_color #change color latter

    cx = contents.text_size($game_party.actors[@actor-1].name).width

    p($game_party.actors[@actor-1].name)

### self.contents.draw_text(4+((@index-1)*104)+((@index-1)*14), 32, cx, 32, $game_party.actors[@actor-1].name)

    self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 96, 32, $game_party.actors[@actor-1].name)

  end

end
