[VX] How to tile things horizontally

[ikos]

Hey, all. It's been some time. Alright; here it goes!

I have this script that tells the player various things in the menu. They're tiled vertically

"1
2
3"

The thing is though, I would really like them to be tiled horizontally. "1 2 3" Do you all think you could help?

module DarkOdyssey
  MenuVIcons = [131,147,188]
  MenuVTexts = ['$game_variables[999].to_s','$game_party.gold','time']
end

class Window_DOMenuVar < Window_Base
  def initialize(x, y)
    super(x, y - 0, 160, WLH * DarkOdyssey::MenuVIcons.size + 32)
    refresh

  end

  def time
    @total_sec = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
    hour = @total_sec / 60 / 60
    min = @total_sec / 60 % 60
    sec = @total_sec % 60
    if hour >= 1
      return sprintf("%01d:%02d:%02d", hour, min, sec)
    else
      return sprintf("%01d:%02d", min, sec)
    end
  end
  
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.windowskin = Cache.system('window')
    y = 0
    for i in 0...DarkOdyssey::MenuVIcons.size
      self.contents.draw_text(0, y, 128, WLH, eval(DarkOdyssey::MenuVTexts[i]), 2)
      draw_icon(DarkOdyssey::MenuVIcons[i], 0, y)
      y += WLH
    end
  end
  
  def update
    super
    refresh if Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate != @total_sec
  end
end

class Scene_Menu
  alias darkodyssey_menuvariables_start start
  def start
    darkodyssey_menuvariables_start
    @gold_window.dispose
    @gold_window = Window_DOMenuVar.new(0,384 - 24 * DarkOdyssey::MenuVIcons.size)
  end
  
  alias darkodyssey_menuvariables_update update
  def update
    darkodyssey_menuvariables_update
    @gold_window.update
  end
end

self.contents.draw_text(0, y, 128, WLH, eval(DarkOdyssey::MenuVTexts[i]), 2)

in the part with (0, y, 128... exchange 0 and y. Things should now be aligned horizontally, but you will probably need to add a value to "y" depending on the item being drawn if it's width differs from the other items.

When I do that (I've done x,0 , y,0, and even added values) I just get all of the textual values in the same location. So it's just a blur of numbers. :\

it should look like:

y = 0
for i in 0...DarkOdyssey::MenuVIcons.size
wx = 0
case i
when 0
wx = 10
when 1
wx = 40
end
self.contents.draw_text(y + wx, 0, 128, WLH, eval(DarkOdyssey::MenuVTexts), 2)
draw_icon(DarkOdyssey::MenuVIcons, 0, y)
y += WLH
end

wx is the added value based on the item you draw.
