I could use a bit of assistance. Diving headlong into RGSS3 for reasons I don't even know why.

Anyway, I'm a bit stymied. I can't figure out how to refresh a window after a cursor change on a command menu. Can't seem to find the answer in the codebase either.

I've got a command window popping up, as well as a secondary window. I'm not sure how to pass into the secondary window that the cursor has changed positions and thus the draw_text in it needs to change.

Here's the code for those who like that sort of thing.

#Initializes the dialogue choice into a window with appropriate keys

class Window_DialogueExample < Window_Command

  def initialize

    #window placement location

    super(0,0)

    self.x = (Graphics.width - width) / 2

    self.y = Graphics.height - height

  end



  def visible_line_number

    return 3

  end

   

  def window_width

    return 400

  end

  

  #creates the command keys list for choices

  def make_command_list

    add_command("One Pill", :option1)

    add_command("Two Pill", :option2)

    add_command("Red Pill", :option3)

    add_command("Blue Pill", :option4)

    add_command("Outies", :exit)

  end

end





#Secondary window to fully explain choices

class Window_DialogueExampleDesc < Window_Selectable

  def initialize

    super(0, 0, Graphics.width, fitting_height(1))

    refresh

  end

  

  def refresh

    contents.clear

    draw_text(x, y, width, line_height, "Desc Text Goes Here")

  end  

end





#Sets objects in the window to play them in a new "scene"

class Scene_DialogueTest < Scene_MenuBase

  

  def start

    super

    create_background

    create_choices

    create_description

  end

  

  #creates the actual command window for choices

  def create_choices

    @dtest = Window_DialogueExample.new

      @dtest.set_handler(:option1, method(:result1))

      @dtest.set_handler(:option2, method(:result2))

      @dtest.set_handler(:option3, method(:result2))

      @dtest.set_handler(:option4, method(:result3))

      @dtest.set_handler(:exit, method(:backout))

    end

  

  #creates secondary window to explain choices

  def create_description

    @dtestdesc = Window_DialogueExampleDesc.new

  end

  

  #dialogue choice results

  def result1

    @dtest.active = true

    p 'Right on!'

  end

  def result2

    @dtest.active = true

    p 'Yo!'

  end

  def result3

    @dtest.active = true

    p 'Yaoooooooo!'

  end

  

  #exit menu

  def backout

    SceneManager.return

  end

  

end

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

You already seem to be refreshing it and redrawing the text every frame. The

def refresh

function runs automatically every frame, so anything in it will happen automatically. Of course the text doesn't actually need to be redrawn every frame, only when it changes... so if you have lag, you could create a way of detecting when it changes. But as you have it coded right now I suspect the only reason why the text isn't changing when you move the cursor is because the text is hardcoded to always be "Desc Text Goes Here". :)

I knew it was something stupid. Just build a function that takes an argument that can be run in refresh.

The hard-coded text was only a stopgap until I figured out this problem.

Thanks for the help. d('-'
