very basic Scene question

[Fallen]

ok...i'm really newb to all this as you may know, and i need scene_map to show two windows, that i already created, but the problem is that i need the player to activate them by call script.

well...i hope it's not so confusing...
i was trying to use booleans for if @window1 = true and stuff...but i dont know how to use these stuff yet.
if you can help me, i would be very grateful :thumb:

Use this:

class Scene_Map
  alias scene_map_main main
  def main
    @window1 = Window_1.new # Change Window_1 to your window class
    @window2 = Window_2.new # Change Window_2 to your window class
    scene_map_main
    @window1.dispose
    @window2.dispose
  end
end

yeah...thank you, thants what i was using, but the problem was that i dont know how to make the windows appear when you call a script on a new event

 

[vgvgf]

Use:

class Scene_Map
  attr_accessor :window1
  attr_accessor :window2
  alias scene_map_main main
  def main
    @window1 = Window_1.new # Change Window_1 to your window class
    @window2 = Window_2.new # Change Window_2 to your window class
    @window1.visible = false
    @window2.visible = false
    scene_map_main
    @window1.dispose
    @window2.dispose
  end
end

And in the event call script, use:

$scene.window1.visible = true # For show the window
$scene.window1.visible = false # For hide the window

oh my god thank you so very much!!!
finally...thanks a lot...
and...well, this is not necessary, but would you mind explaining why are the attr_accessor there for?
im really interested to know =)

 

[vgvgf]

The attr_accessor functions declares a instance variable(The variables with the "@") to be able for reading from a external place. In other words, in the script I made for you, the attr_accessor allow that I can modify or read the "@window1" variable with "$scene.window1".

In extra detail you have:-

* attr_accessor
* attr_reader
* attr_writer

Reader, reads the variable but has no ability to rewrite the variable so it can't be changed.

Writer, as guess it writes the variable so it can rewritten and such.

Accessor, this has the functions of both Reader and Writer...thats why you see most scripts using instance variables using Accessors, as they can be read and changed.

 

[Fallen]

well...then why do Writer and reader exist, if accessor can has the function of both...why dont just create accessor?
