JOH'S PROFILE

Hey there!

I'm trying to get the Battle Log to wait for player input before displaying the next message, similar to how the Message Window does. By default, the Battle Log displays messages for only a short while before clearing it and moving on to the next message.

I thought it would be a relatively easy thing to do, but I've been at it for a few days now and I'm completely stumped. I have a strong feeling this bit of code in Window_BattleLog is to blame:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Wait and Clear
# Clear after inputing minimum necessary wait for the message to be read.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def wait_and_clear
wait while @num_wait < 2 if line_number > 0
clear
end

Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck altering or disabling it.

If I left out any important details about what I'm trying to accomplish, feel free to ask! Thanks for taking the time to listen to my problem!

Hey folks! Got another question.

By default, the Battle Log window is borderless. I'd like to restore its border so it looks the same as any other window. Searching the Script Editor didn't yield anything I thought looked relevant, so I don't know where to start tinkering. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks for reading, as always! :D

I should apologize in advance: This is technically two different questions, (probably with two different solutions) but both issues are so similar that I would have felt silly dedicating a separate thread to each.

Problem 1: The message window has a sort of squshing/expanding animation every time it opens and closes. I would like to either disable this effect, or reduce the animation time to 1 frame so it appears like it is opening and closing instantly.

Problem 2: Whenever you open or close the main menu, there is a slight fade-in/fade-out effect. I would also like this disabled, or reduced to 1 frame.

I've been Googling this for days, and came up with nothing. I've also tried my luck searching the Script Editor with Ctrl+Shift+F, but I don't know what terms to search.

Any information at all would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hey there! I'd like to change the battle messages housed in Script Editor > Vocab to pull from a list of possible messages to display at random, instead of displaying the same message every time.

Currently, whenever you miss an enemy, it displays the message "Missed! (Enemy name) took no damage!" due to this bit of code:

EnemyNoHit = "Missed! %s took no damage!"

What I'm looking for is something more like this:

EnemyNoHit = ("Message A!", or "Message B!", or "Message C!")

I'm just not sure how to write it out properly. Hopefully you guys'll know what I mean, but feel free to ask for clarification. Thanks for reading!

As the title suggests, I'm having a really strange problem with the Window_Base script. I know for a fact that Window_Base is the sole cause of the issue, because I was able to recreate the problem in a completely new, untouched project after copying over my project's version of Window_Base.

What I mean by "my project's version of Window_Base" is that I've altered a few X and Y values to better suit how I want my game's menus to look. And therein lies the problem. You'll see what I mean.

I was able to isolate the exact line of code causing the problem.

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw Item Name
# enabled : Enabled flag. When false, draw semi-transparently.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_item_name(item, x, y, enabled = true, width = 172)
return unless item
draw_icon(item.icon_index, x, y, enabled)
change_color(normal_color, enabled)
draw_text(x + 24, y, width, line_height, item.name)

Specifically, I edited the "draw_text" line to (x + 40, y - 6). I did this because it aligns the text in my Command Menu exactly the way I want it. It looks like this:

However, in changing the draw_text line to (x + 40, y - 6), it ends up doing this to my Item List:

It's 20 pixels too far to the right, and 6 pixels too high. So, when I try changing draw_text to correct the Item List, it ends up doing this to my Command Menu:

It's like some kind of tug of war. Draw_text's values accounts for both menus, and correcting one means ruining the other.

Perhaps someone knows a way to change the X Y alignment of one of these menus while leaving the other unaltered, possibly through editing Window_Command and Window_ItemList individually, instead of Window_Base.

I should probably mention that I'm using Luna Engine!

If I left any useful information out, just ask! Anyways, thanks for hearing me out!!
