Text Help

Here I go. I'm at it again :box: Another stump in the mud..

Here's my problem. I'm trying to create text to appear icons to tell you which inventory you're about to select. The problem isn't getting the text to appear. It's more like getting rid of the old text. You see.. I either end up having the same text everywhere. Or all the text adds up together. When I try disposing it I get the "Bitmap gone error" of course.

I even ended up getting RGSS has encountered a problem and must close XD

Never seen that before..

Well here's what I'm trying to do

 

case @selector_position

 

when 1  # on all items

 

text = "All Items"

@selector_position_window.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 120, 32, text, 0)

@selector_position_window.x = 250

 

when 2 # on recovery items

 

text = "Recovery"

@selector_position_window.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 120, 32, text, 0)

@selector_position_window.x = 290

 

when 3 # on Food items

 

text = "Food"

@selector_position_window.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 120, 32, text, 0)

@selector_position_window.x = 340

 

#  and so on........................

 

If I do it this way I end up with all the text jumbling up as I increase in index

 

case @selector_position

 

when 1  # on all items

 

text = "All Items"

@selector_position_window.contents.draw_text(0, 40, 120, 32, text, 0)

@selector_position_window.x = 250

 

when 2 # on recovery items

 

text = "Recovery"

@selector_position_window.x = 290

 

when 3 # on Food items

 

text = "Food"

@selector_position_window.x = 340

 

#  and so on........................

 

if I do it this way I end up with all text being "all items"

I've tried disposing the previous text with a @selector_position_window.self.contents.dispose and met with a savage error of mass carnage.

Please help me oh masters of scripting, so that I, grasshopper, may attain more knowledge.

instead of "dispose" ou can try "clear" the contens always before drawing the text.


@selector_position_window.contents.clear

@selector_position_window.contents.clear

You're epic. :box: Score one for Atoa! I'm one step closer to being a good scripter. I think :down:

The best step you can take is searching through both the default scripts and the help file. That's because there are a lot of useful pieces of information there.
