Help me with my script.

[minth 1]

Good evening, that's my first time writing a script, then i don't know advanced scripts.

That is my script:

 

class Window_TitleCommand < Window_Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Command List --> ADD
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias new_make_command_list make_command_list
  def make_command_list
    add_command(Vocab::new_game, :new_game)
    add_command(Vocab::continue, :continue, continue_enabled)
    add_command("Credits",       :credits)
    add_command(Vocab::shutdown, :shutdown)
  end
end

class Scene_Title < Scene_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Start Processing --> CALL
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_command_window
    @command_window = Window_TitleCommand.new
    @command_window.set_handler(:new_game, method(:command_new_game))
    @command_window.set_handler(:continue, method(:command_continue))
    @command_window.set_handler(:credits,  method(:command_credits))    
    @command_window.set_handler(:shutdown, method(:command_shutdown))
  end
    
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Background --> creation
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_story_contents
    super
    @background_text = Sprite.new
  end
  
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * [Credits] Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_credits
    close_command_window
    SceneManager.call(Scene_Credits)
  end
end

class Scene_Credits < Scene_MenuBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Start Processing --> START* VERY IMPORTANT
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def start
    super
    create_command_window
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Pre-Termination Processing --> COMMAND CLOSE
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def pre_terminate
    super
    @command_window.close
  end
  
  def make_command_list
    add_command(Vocab::to_title, :to_title)
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Background --> call
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_background
    super
    @background_sprite.bitmap = Cache.picture("video-credits-hero")
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Command Window in the Credits --> CALL
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_command_window
    @command_window = Window_GameEnd.new
    @command_window.set_handler(:to_title, method(:command_to_title))
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * [Go to Title] Command in the Credits
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_to_title
    @command_window.close
    fadeout_all
    SceneManager.goto(Scene_Title)
  end
end


class Window_GameEnd < Window_Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * GO BACK TO THE TITLE --> ADD
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def make_command_list
    add_command(Vocab::to_title, :to_title)
  end
end

I did a script to add a Credits Option. I made its option in the menu and its destination. When i play the game,

it works like that:

 

 

 

The script is working smoothly, but i would want a scrolling image and change the window position.

Can you guys help me with my script?

 

Thanks for hearing me.

It's interesting you did that much without knowing about x & y.

 

Under create command window you just add in the position adjustments.

@command_window.x = 0 # whatever number you want

 

@command_window.y = 0 # whatever number you want

That should adjust to the position you want.

 

Can't help you with the scrolling image. The best thing I know if move picture. You can google for a script call command if that's what  you want.

Ok, now, i change my script. I remove desnecessary things and change some positions. 

Instead a scrolling image, i made a scrolling text. But, now, i don't know how to add text.

I tried already put the script:  $gameMessage.add("Blah blah blah."), but it isn't working.

 

My code:

class Window_TitleCommand < Window_Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Command List
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias new_make_command_list make_command_list
  def make_command_list
    add_command(Vocab::new_game, :new_game)
    add_command(Vocab::continue, :continue, continue_enabled)
    add_command("Credits",       :credits)
    add_command(Vocab::shutdown, :shutdown)
  end
end



class Scene_Title < Scene_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Start Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_command_window
    @command_window = Window_TitleCommand.new
    @command_window.set_handler(:new_game, method(:command_new_game))
    @command_window.set_handler(:continue, method(:command_continue))
    @command_window.set_handler(:credits,  method(:command_credits))    
    @command_window.set_handler(:shutdown, method(:command_shutdown))
  end
  
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * [Credits] Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_credits
    close_command_window
    SceneManager.call(Scene_Credits)
  end
end



class Scene_Credits < Scene_MenuBase
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Start Processing --> Start windows
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def start
    super
    create_all_windows
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Pre-Termination Processing --> close windows
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def pre_terminate
    Graphics.fadeout(10)
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create All Windows
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_all_windows
    create_scroll_text_window
    create_command_window
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Background
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_background
    super
    @background_text = Sprite.new
    @background_sprite.bitmap = Cache.picture("1280x720-pastel-blue-solid-color-background")
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Free Background
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def dispose_background
    @background_sprite.bitmap.dispose
    @background_sprite.dispose
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Scrolling Message
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_scroll_text_window
    @scroll_text_window = Window_ScrollText.new
    @scroll_text_window.x = 240 # whatever number you want
    @scroll_text_window.y = 240 # whatever number you want
    @scroll_text_window = $gameMessage.add("Blah blah blah.")
    wait_for_message
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Call Command Window in the Credits
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_command_window
    @command_window = Window_GameEnd.new
    @command_window.set_handler(:to_title, method(:command_to_title))
    @command_window.x = 240 # whatever number you want
    @command_window.y = 360 # whatever number you want
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * [Go to Title] Command in the Credits
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def command_to_title
    fadeout_all
    SceneManager.goto(Scene_Title)
  end
end

Did i do something wrong? Help.

i would want a scrolling image

If you'd like your credits to be an image with text that is scrolled, then all you need is to just update the y position.

 

For that approach you'd need to create an another Sprite and assign the image to its bitmap (like you did with the background) and then add an update method, that will keep adjusting the Y position of that image, making it go up.

 

For example, in the Scene_Credits, you'd first add the Sprite (credits image)

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Scrolling Text
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_text
    @scrolling_text = Sprite.new
    @scrolling_text.bitmap = Cache.picture("CREDITS_IMAGE")
  end

and then add an update method, that is run every frame (60/sec)

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    super
    @scrolling_text.y -= 1 # to move it 1 pixel UPWARDS per frame
  end

 

That should get the job done for what it's worth. You may want to adjust the Y position in the create method, so that it starts with a blank screen while the text is just about to show up. For that set the Y position of that sprite to the HEIGHT of your game window like this:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Create Scrolling Text
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def create_text
    @scrolling_text = Sprite.new
    @scrolling_text.bitmap = Cache.picture("CREDITS_IMAGE")
    @scrolling_text.y = Graphics.height
  end

 

As I was going to mention to remember to dispose the sprite, I noticed that your existing dispose method isn't run either, as it lacks its own terminate method that would point to sprite disposal, so you may want to fix that. To the Scene_Credits, also add this:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Termination Processing
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def terminate
    super
    dispose_background # now your dispose method will be run
    dispose_scrolling_text # for the scrolling sprite
  end

and then of course the dispose method for the scrolling text.

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Dispose Scrolling Text
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def dispose_scrolling_text
    @scrolling_text.bitmap.dispose
    @scrolling_text.dispose
  end

You could also just plug the two dispose lines to the existing method you have instead,  that would work too.

 

Disclaimer: My Ruby got really rusty, so I might have overlooked something or derp'd somewhere.
