Yes.
I have another question. I'm using the draw_text_ex() method, and it seems to only display a max of 2 lines. Is it possible to display more, and to auto trim the text (the autotrim isn't really important, but meh XD)?

Edit: No worries, I think I got it. :-)

So I'm trying to make edits to this guy's nifty day/night script so it uses a prefix/suffix to add the map ids to an array that's used to determine whether or not the screen tints in respect to the time because I'm not about to enter each individual map id into the script if I can avoid it. (The array in question is on line 80, but is used on line 147)

Problem is that I have no idea how to add to an array with this language and I'm only 80% sure on how to nab a map's id if it contains the needed prefix/suffix :F

To add an array, you do this:

#Sample Array Declaration
description = [] #declared an empty array. You can add infinite number of items
description[0] = "First Item"
description[2] = "Second Item"
#and so forth

Just to clarify, when you say I can add an infinite number of items does that mean that the array can change in size at any time?
(I'm stuck in Java mode over here.. I blame my computer science classes)

Cause if it does, then all that's left for me to do is to write a bit of code to pull the ids of maps that have a certain prefix and then add them to the array (array.insert?)

To add a new element to the end of an array, it's array.push(element).

No worries.

If you ever get to the point of needing to do other forms of array manipulation:

array.unshift(element) - Adds a new element to the beginning of the array.
array.insert(position, element) - Adds a new element at any position of the array.
array.pop - Removes the last element of the array and returns it.
array.shift - Removes the first element of the array and returns it.

There are other methods too, but those are the most useful.

I'm just going to sideline a bit...

Do you have a script that shows a window with a selectable list (for example, a window containing a list of player names)? I need to try to experiment on that one...

The best thing to do is to recreate the enemy list window from part 2 of my Slip into Ruby article, but rather than draw enemy.name, make an array for the player names and use that as the data instead.

Is it possible to have a weapon (or skill) do two different elemental attacks? That is, say, a sword that does 10 physical damage + 2 cold damage. Or a spear that does 15 piercing damage + 6 fire damage. Stuff like that?

That works. I did some editing here and there, but it now works.
I guess I have to wait for part 3 to handle events associated with those items. :-)

Trihan, a scriptlet that allows certain pictures to tint while a tint screen is going on? ;w;

kentona: I'm pretty sure that can be done. Would it work if you used that follow-on skill script to make the attack or skill in question use another skill afterwards that does the 2 cold damage or whatever, or is that not suitable for your needs?

shiningriver: Working on it. :)

Archeia: Interesting request. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can come up with.

class Game_Interpreter
  def tint_screen_and_pics(pic_ids, tone, frames, wait = false)
    screen.start_tone_change(tone, frames)
    for pic in pic_ids
      if screen.pictures[pic] != nil
        screen.pictures[pic].start_tone_change(tone, frames)
      end
    end
    wait(frames) if wait == true
  end
end

There you go Archeia; call it in a script using "tint_screen_and_pics" along with the required parameters. Tone needs to be in the format "Tone.new(red, green, blue, grey)". pic_ids is an array of which pictures you want to tint along with the screen. Note that even if you're only tinting one pic it still needs to be an array or it'll cause an error.

Okay, so it's quite difficult... haha...
I'm having problems transitioning to another screen. What I want to accomplish is that all of the options call another screen (Scene_Fusion2). But I also want to get Scene_Fusion2 to display what you have selected from the previous screen (Scene_Fusion1).
Additionally, I am not able to exclude the main actor (the very first actor) no matter what method I try.

How about a simple script that allows a spell to display enemy HP next to their name after the spell is used on them?

Before: FAT CAT

After: FAT CAT (HP: 56/56)

Thank you so much Trihan <3

EDIT:

I found a bug! When I call a message, the game reverts the picture's original tint D:
Fully tested without other scripts.

EDIT 2:
Nevermind I am a moron and show pictured twice <_<
Sorry XD

    end
  end
end

There you go UPRC. You need to make the skill in question set the scanned property of the target to true. I did this by doing "b.scanned = true" in the formula window, but then it displays a message saying no damage was done so this obviously isn't the best way. I'd probably recommend implementing a notetag for it or something.
